could i be misdiagnosed?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I guess im praying that i am...but i went to the e.r sunday and the doctor looked down there and said that i have herpes i screamed and cried the whole time i was there she still took a swab and its been 3 days and they havent gotten the results yet. Symptoms started friday burning itching and tingling then Saturday the symptoms worsened to the point i had to put a icepack down there i took pictires i did see about 3 bumps in random places but the area was very raw and inflamed also my glands were swolling i couldnt sleep that night due to the irratation and pain i hopped in the tub for about an hour next day which was Sunday the pain and inflammation had worsened i could barely walk in comfort..also that tuesday i had a vaginal exam and nothing came back but yeast infection. Im just wondering do u have a chance

    Do you have a chance???

    The signs and symptoms you are explaining sound very much like you have herpes, so yes there is a very real chance you have herpes, however results could prove me wrong

      My partner doesnt have it which makes it so confusing. But i did have the blisters which have opened and now there light spots where the sores are that are still painful and its hurts to urinate i try to keep them as dry as possible or pour warm water over the area while im using the bathroom. .i know everything points to this definitely being herpes..i just have a ounce of faith thats it not..I'll know tomorrow for sure. : (

      When was your partner last checked? Guys tend to be asymptomatic in which they don't show signs and symptoms, so it could be possible he has got it and transmitted it to you. Everything your saying is pointing towards herpes, I hope for your sake it's not but if it ain't you have something very similar

      So would it show up in a test if he is asymptomatic?

      I should have said if he has infact got herpes it will show up in a blood test, if not it won't reveal anything
