Help, Herpes diagnosis but awaiting results?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Last week I noticed a burning sensation when I would urinate. I thought this could have been down to some rough sex I had a couple of days prior with the man I am dating. I remember thinking I had cut myself shaving that night but thought nothing of it at first. A couple of days in and I noticed I had a spot/ulcer looking thing that was in the area I thought I cut, this only hurt when I tried to pop. I had no general pain or irritation so I just left it and moved on thinking it would sort itself out. Unknown to me is that at the same time I began to suffer from a sore throat which I didnt know could be linked. A couple days pass and I notice a more spots and ulcer looking things across my vulva, the back of my throat was also covered in huge yellow lumps. Now i start to panic as I see this is all linked. I had muscle aches, chills, fatigue but I also experienced Nausea and Diarrhoea.
The ulcers only hurt due to their location and rubbing and the spots ached when i tried to pop, and the areas I tried to pop seemed to have fluid filled blisters appear that were not painful to pop at all.
I went to a clinic and they did all the tests and swabs and i am awaiting the results but the doctor is 100% sure it is Herpes.
but my confusion is with some of the symptoms and the throat, surely its linked but not common of herpes from what I have read? i have no pain , which is surprising with the amount of sores/ulcers etc. and one doctor I spoke too seemed confused how I wasn't. I have suffered a dull lower abdominal pain on and off for a month, which could link to PID by chlamydia or gonorrhoea, which also links to some of my other symptoms. The doctor wouldn't even consider anything else based on appearance but I have read so many experiences where doctors have got it wrong and everyone thinks any sore is herpes!
it may well be, i will accept it if it is, but with some of these other symptoms could it be anything else? i am covered in sores but a lot of things can cause that.

Also worth mentioning, this is a fairly new partner and he has a couple of spots that seem harmless and not like herpes at all, could it be an awful bacteria related problem? My discharge is odourless and yellowish. One of the spots did come out like an ingrown hair and I have a lump on my right lymph node in my groin. I also forgot to put that I did vomit , quite a lot.

its hard to say without pictures. Youre best bet would be making your partner get a blood test and wait for tour results. Swabs are fairly accurate within 48 hours of sores appearing. They will also tell you what kind of hsv it is. If it is hsv1 you couldve gotten it from through oral which is "cold sores" and a lot of people either dont know they have hsv or they dont know it can be passed through oral sex. Also, visual diagnoses arent always accurate so waiting on the results is best.

thanks for responding! i would post photos but I dont feel 100% comfortable and to be honest they do look like herpes, and I know everyone would say the same. I will have my results before he gets a test done so. I am just so curious about the other symptoms I have had that are not typical Herpes, just praying it comes back as anything else!

I'm sorry to say, and I say this gently, but every symptom you listed are infact symptoms of new onset of herpes. All of your symptoms could be associated as "flu like" and quite common with new infection of hsv. I'm certainly not saying it is, and I truly hope ur tests come back ok. best wishes
