Hi everyone, 

I've had hsv1 for about 6 weeks now, had my first outbreak about a week after getting it. The first OB went away after a week or two, and now I'm having a second bout, a minor cold sore and now experiencing a strong urge to urinate, has anyone else experienced this?

    Are you a male or female? Are you feeling like you have to pee a lot or are you going a lot?

      Herpes can give a sensation such as burning in the urethane like you have a UTI or that strange cramping in your bladder like you have a UTI, but usually it makes you have issues w being able to urinate at all or completely voiding, because the virus can infect the nerves that control the bladder.

      If you have other discomfort w your ob. Sit in warm baths w Epsom salt

    And is this genital hsv 1? You said cold sore and that's not referred to as a cold sore down there, although they truly are the same thing both locations

      Fun wasn't it? I kid... Totally feel your pain. Drinking a good amount and staying out late will trigger obs in the beginning, so be careful
