Depressed, Scared, Need another opinion and help
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi. So me and my girlfriend had sex at the last week of July. at the end of August she said how she had some itching in her vagina. The itching is in two specific spots. We have finally checked it out and i saw 2 open sores/open skin/ rash. (dont know what to call it). they are located adjacent from each other. She said she hasnt had any pain but they do itch and are painful to the touch. i will drop 5 pictures. the first 2 are when we first saw the cuts which was about a week and a half ago. the next two are pictures taken from yesterday. The one on the left in the picture has some kind of yellowish debris or skin inside from the looks of it. Again my girlfriend said she has no pain unless i touch it with my hand. The final is a shot of the discharge within the vagina. I have been searching ALOTT for anything that comes close to what she has but nothing has come close. she also has thin, slighty creamy white vaginal discharge as well. no other sores or cuts or abrasions anywhere else on her body or vagina. went to a doctor and said that it could be BV, yeast, thrust or herpes. we did a swab of the discharge and the cut on the left side in the picture. we should be getting our results back sometime next week. please leave your opinion or advice. We dont know what to do

the vaginal discharge from what I can tell does not have an odor like what would usually be smelt from thrust or BV.

update: just got back the viral swab and it came back negative for herpes 1 & 2. the sores still havent gone away and neither has the itching. we are almost done the bv medication but she still feels very itchy down there. the doctor said it could be a false positive since the sores were there for more than 2 months. when we did the swab it was really painful for my gf and it was irritated for a few hours after so that told us the sore was still open or "fresh". she also hasnt gotten any new sores or any other symptoms of the sort. we still got prescribed valtrex so if that starts to work then we know it was a false positive. We just want to be back to normal so whatever it is we just want it gone. we still are hoping that it was a true negative and that we dont have herpes but like i said i will keep this post open for anyone who experiences something like this or similar.

additionally, she now actually has very bad lower stomach pain so idk if that is also due to herpes or from the bv but we are also on the watch for that. that is the only thing that has happened within the past 2 months. will keep everything updated.

update: the discharge is completely gone along with the smell. bad news is the 2 bumps are still there. we had sex today and she got some perinulum cuts (the area between where the vaginas ends and the anal cavity). again no new sores or spots. she has started to experience constipation which is also causing her stomach pain and she has recently said that now the 2 spots burn when she pee's which is weird because they never burned her before and they have had no change. i believe its the cuts that are burning but will see. as for me my only symptom is paranoia. if my lip tingles or my hip feels slightly itchy I go straight to herpes. but i am fine. the only thing for me would be slightly pink and very slightly raised bumps ontop of my penis head that has been there for over a month now. iv used yeast cream and other pills but its still there not changing or improving (like my girlfriends symptoms) they become more prominent after sex has the penis gland is enlarged and has gone through some friction. sex is fine and doesnt hurt or is uncomfortable in any way so far. we are still not done the bv medicine. we have finished the 7 day treatment but we said we would finish all the pills first then start taking valtrex. i do have some new updated photos which i will upload tomorrow for any curious. overall my gf is feeling better than how she was before which is always a good thing. everyone stay safe and keep positive.

First of all, it's not closely a smart decision to have sex while she has BV, you might cause to become worse since it's caused by imbalance of the her vaginal bacteria.
Secondly, it doesn't look like herpes, but only way to confirm is through second testing, it might another type of STD, check both your history.
A herpes sore doesn't this long, and even if it's then work on boosting your immune system by eating healthy and not overthinking, try taking things one step at a time, I would suggest also other STDs to get checked, it feels like it could be chancroid or syphilis although I won't go to that conclusion, but hey you guys lose nothing by testing and knowing.

Let her finish her Medication, most probably her stomach pain is because of how you guys are stressing each other, seriously stop it and do steps and just be there for each other. As I mentioned above, Also, I forgot to say that it might be injury, I don't think it's but if STDs are excluded then seek a urologist to help, if it's an injury they will know how to handle it.
