Is Blue Waffle Disease Real?
There is no such medical condition known as “blue waffle disease,” in the medical world. There is no such disease that causes a blue appearance of your vagina.
The belief among all medical professionals is that this is a hoax; the pictures and “fake” disease is used to lure people into visiting these websites.
The pictures are very disturbing. It is possible that a blue appearance of the vagina could be from bruising that could result from the force. Such a force can be said to be most likely have come from a sexual assault.
But even if that is the case, the bruising certainly would not be such a bright blue color as shown in those images. No STDs as such are capable of causing external bruising.
On the other hand, the entire thing shown in the picture could be highly edited, and nothing whatsoever in it represents anything real. Also, there are no STDs that can transfer only from women to men. If you think, how would women get them in the first place?
You may take a minute to let all that soak in. Unbelievable, isn’t it?
It’s not funny. It’s scary.

How It Originated
Now that you are clear about no such disease as blue waffles in medical history, you might stop worrying. For those who might be curious in how such fake disease was created, I am giving you how it all originated.
In the April of 2013, a New Jersey city councilperson became the object of some derision. According to a Trentonian woman, as she reported at a city council meeting that she received an “alarming call” from a constituent.
The person calling wanted to know “what the City of Trenton was doing about the epidemic known as the Blue Waffle Disease?”
She was mocked publically for taking this issue seriously, not recognizing that she had been taken in as a part of an April fool’s prank.
References to “Blue Waffle Disease” spread over the Internet around March 2010. This occurred when an image of scabbed, blue-tinted labia was being circulated.
This was a claim that the image pictured a vaginal infection resulting from an STD.
Many discussions ensured about whether the photograph was real or a digital manipulated fake. If fake, then whether it pictured an infection?
Whatever were the origins of the photo, “blue waffle disease” is a fiction and not any known symptom or result of any STD-related infection

If you believed in any of the above causes, symptoms or treatments of the apparent BLUE WAFFLES DISEASE, then you are too easy to fall prey to internet hoax.
After primarily searching, even I thought that it was real. You can even find pictures or images that support the condition as explained in the above extracts.
But it is not!
After a good search, you will likely find out those sites which give real medical advice, and they will tell you all this is a mere joke.
Read further to get a clearer idea as to why, how, when this hoax started to spread.
The world is full of people seeking recognition. With the advent of social media, it has already become very easy to spread any news or rumor around the world in a fraction of hours.
Also, it was not so difficult before social media took over. Before that time, now and then many people made stories to get famous on print media or the news. And many of them did succeed too, initially.
But on further investigation, the false elements of their story were revealed. Some of them even take it to unbelievable levels that make you think they should be included in the GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS!
These stories are so far out there that they are likely made into the record books if they are found to be true.
I remember one such story about a boy, who was said to die after clicking a digital camera flash underneath a 40,000 voltage power line. If you google it, you will find plenty of sites conforming to many different theories that it can happen.
A digital camera flash can conduct high voltage electricity. But if you ask a science person, his only response might be:
Have you gone mad?
No that cannot happen. I am not discussing in detail why and how, but you may search for it and find out why not.
Similar is the case with our internet disease BLUE WAFFLES. Someone made some story, and it did get famous. But not for long. People eventually did realize after consulting professionals that it is all false.
You may or may not know, but “waffle” is slang for a woman’s vagina.
So let’s look again at the definitions of the apparent “Blue Waffles Disease” that are circling the internet:
Blue Waffle is a sexually transmitted disease.
It can only pass from females to males.
It can develop into a female after “not washing her vagina” enough.
You can even search online for images describing the disease. But let me warn you that the images may be disturbing for some sensitive person to view.
Here is what else will happen: after searching blue waffles disease you will not land on any trusted medical sites if you know what I mean. You will be inundated with random links.
These sites will have no trusted medical or healthcare affiliations. These are just very rudimentary web pages, blogs, or community boards. These are the sites that should be having a big,
“Don’t Believe Everything You Read!”
flashing advertisement banner.
In fact, all such websites further perpetuate this myth with definitions such as:
“It’s a slang term for an extremely nasty or severe vaginal infection/STD on your vagina. The infection could cause abnormality in an organ or tissue on the outside of the vagina, as well as bruising, which causes it to look blue.”
Conclusion
There is a higher possibility that all the pictures behind Blue Waffle disease hoax are entirely edited with no references whatsoever to any real persons or real disease.
Additionally, the condition neither resembles any typical case of an STD attributed appearance nor any other visually diagnosed symptoms.
Blue Waffle disease is indeed a descriptive term for an infected vagina. But it is probably not the name for any particular infection.
The disease or Blue Waffle terminology for such matter is just but an urban legend coined to horrify women to style up sexually.
