"Hi all,

I was recently diagnosed with LGV and I'm wondering if it can go away on its own without medical treatment. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd really appreciate hearing from any of you who have dealt with LGV before and can share your stories and advice.

LGV, or Lymphogranuloma Venereum, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a type of bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. While LGV is not as common as other STIs, like gonorrhea or chlamydia, it can still cause severe health problems if left untreated.

Fortunately, LGV can be cured with antibiotics. Depending on the severity of the infection, a person may need to take multiple courses of antibiotics to completely clear the infection. In some cases, LGV may go away on its own, but this is rare.

If left untreated, LGV can cause long-term complications. This includes an increased risk of developing other STIs, infertility, and arthritis. Additionally, LGV can spread to other parts of the body, such as the rectum, anus, and throat.

It is important to get tested for LGV if you believe you have been exposed to it. Your doctor may test for LGV using a blood test, urine test, or swab of the affected area. Treatment is most effective when started early, so it is important to get tested and treated promptly.

In conclusion, LGV can go away on its own in some cases, but it is important to get tested and treated if you think you may have been exposed to it. Early treatment can help prevent long-term health complications and the spread of the infection to other parts of the body.

Yes, LGV can go away on its own. This is because the body's immune system can fight off the infection. However, this can take a long time and the infection can cause serious symptoms in the meantime. Therefore, it is important to seek medical advice and treatment to clear the infection as soon as possible. Antibiotics are usually prescribed to treat LGV and prevent any long-term complications.

Yes, LGV can go away on its own in some cases. LGV, or Lymphogranuloma Venereum, is caused by a bacterial infection and can be treated with antibiotics. However, in some cases, the infection can resolve without treatment. This is more likely to occur in mild cases of LGV, or if the infection is detected early. If left untreated, LGV can cause long-term complications, such as genital ulcers, rectal strictures, and scarring, so it is important to get treatment as soon as possible.

No, LGV cannot go away on its own and must be treated with antibiotics. LGV, or lymphogranuloma venereum, is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a strain of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is spread through sexual contact and usually affects the genitals, rectum, and lymph nodes. Symptoms of LGV can include pain during urination, itching, bumps or ulcers on the genitals, and swollen lymph nodes. If left untreated, LGV can cause secondary complications such as arthritis, inflammation of the testicles, and abscesses.

It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after experiencing symptoms of LGV to ensure that it is properly treated. Treatment usually consists of a course of antibiotics, such as doxycycline, to kill the bacteria. Antibiotics will typically clear up the infection within a few weeks, although some people may require additional courses of antibiotics.

Once the infection has been treated, it is important to take steps to reduce the risk of re-infection. This includes practicing safe sex with all partners, avoiding unprotected sexual contact, and getting tested regularly for sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, it is important to be aware of any changes in symptoms and to contact a healthcare provider if any new symptoms occur.

Yes, LGV can go away on its own. However, it is important to note that the infection can linger for several weeks or even months before it resolves itself. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention and be tested for LGV to ensure that it is properly treated and prevented from spreading to others. Additionally, if the infection persists or symptoms worsen, it is best to be tested and treated by a doctor to ensure the best possible outcome.

Yes, LGV can go away on its own. In most cases, it is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with antibiotics. However, if left untreated, LGV can become chronic and can cause severe complications. Although the virus usually goes away on its own, it is still important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to make sure that it does not become a more serious problem. In addition, antibiotics can help reduce symptoms and prevent the spread of the virus to others.
