    It could be a possibility that sexbia bringing on irritation and resulting in a minor ob, as herpes is often mistake for a yeast infection.

    Are you using any lube by chance? That's a must and always should be done w herpes. Also, make sure it is a water based lube.

    In regards to your discharge, is it after sex? Is there a smell? Are you on birth control? Are you close to your period or just finished not long ago, when you experience the discharge?

    A lot of the times w herpes, yiu really gotta learn your body. For example, for three months I wrote down every day every sensation and symptom I had. This has lowed me to recognize an itch is an H itch and not a yeast infection. Sometimes the herpes itch is more localized to on area. For me it is the inside left of my opening and the itch comes and goes. Yeast itches are more all over and they don't come and go. They get worse w out treatment.

    Also, I feel that if I am getting symptoms like that, signaling a flare up; I am religious w Epsom salt baths. It makes it subside.

    Start taking daily high doses of vitamin C, D, Bs, zinc and a probiotic w live culture. This is the biggest thing that has provided change for me. If you're prone to yeast infections, your pH balance in your body is off and have too much yeast. 70% of your immune system is in your gut, so if it is off balance w too much yeast and not enough good bacteria, it weakens your immune system and makes you prone to yeast infections. If you take one daily, you will not get yeast infections anymore.

      Well I get itching, hyper sensitive skin in some areas and nerve sensations and don't get an ob. For me, I've noticed that I have extreme fatigue since getting this and I have a bone tired fatigue after strenuous events or being on my feet all day.

      It sounds like it was a herpes itch possibly, since it comes and goes. How long has it been since you guys had sex? If he's not produced symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.

      They say that any prodomal symptoms, itching, nerve sensations, burning, redness, etc should be taken as if the virus is active or shedding.

      How do you know your bf didn't give this to you? Do you have hsv 1 or 2?

      You absolutely can tell through an igg antibody blood test if you have it and have no skews to culture from. When you request a full STD panel to be done, herpes is not included on that. You have to specifically say you want a herpes test or they will not test you for it in your blood samples. This is the common misconception that soany have, especially men who don't visit doctors on a regular basis like women have to do, regarding their sexual health.
