Fed up and worried

Posted , 4 users are following.

Had unprotected sex 5 weeks ago, 9 hours after the sex i had a soreness so i panicked and went to the GUM clinic, and the doctor likley to be genital herpes, and took a swab but was tested negative from swab for herpes and also chlamydia, however have this constant burning sensation that moves loactions from thighs to near vaginal area to my leg, and its driving me mad worrying what else it could be? I had white thick discharge also and used canesten cream and pessary and this cleared all the pain away for about a week, but then after i had a bath with bubbles the sensations have returned But have no ither signs or anything else of herpes apart from this burning sensation...i vsitied another doctor, he said i am fine and it could be anxiety or stress thats causing my symptoms as my results were fine? X i try not to feel depressed about this but it is always on my mind i keep thinking about the sensatjons all the time as soon as i wake up sad

    But have u seen anything disgusting on your genital? Coz, I think mine triggered by anxiety too. It's just so disgusting. After I had sex with my husband, the next morning I saw this pimple like on my genital. I hurried to my on gyne and she said its herpes. She never tested anything. She just looked at it. At first she just saw redness around it and drying. She prescribed me aciclovir 200 mg 5x a day. Now I'm on 2 days and it just coming out. Makes me feel so depressed. I want to get rid of it! I hope we'll be OK asap!

    Try to research and in about a week or two return to your doctor to get tested again & ask your questions so you can get answers. There are a lot of informative sites so try to search it out.

    Hopefully, you will at the very least have your mind calmed as this is very distracting. Understand you are not alone & at least you know you are able to find support ?

    Definitely get tested.. have ur dr run blood test and all that stuff.. don't just go by I think.. you may not even have it u never know til the test comes back.. I had my first ob in Aug due to stress.. as much stigma as there is with herpes it's really not a HUGE deal.. you have to be safe and listen to ur body.
