I went to the doctors because i was having some white discharge , so my doctor did the swab test with a speculum to check for bv and yeast infection which came back positive . A few hours later the same day .. for some reason when I went to the bathroom I felt a really serious burn when I peed and only when the urine moved toward my vaginal opening .I started taking pictures of my vagina and nothing looked alarming but then the pain got worse, the burning when I peed, i started seeing little bumps, i could barely walk or sit down. I went to urgent care and described my symptoms to my new doctor and told her that it seemed like all these symptoms started happening right after the swab test ..with the speculum. Just putting it out there that the speculum maybe wasn't cleaned right which caused a bacteria build up but she mentioned it could be herpes and she did a swab and said she did see a growing sore . She gave me gel for bv, pills for yeast and acyoclir for herpes. Its been 6 days and the symptoms are still there not sure if these are sores but they hurt and im scared

    The important thing is to not be scared. I know I am probably sounding crazy, but please stay calm. This does look like herpes. I think the doctor you saw showed some negligence by not swabbing the sore, but maybe urgent care works differently. If at all possible, see an OBGYN. If the sores clear up, show them this image. I am sorry, I just don't want you to be panicked waiting for a response. Get this swabbed as immediately as possible. If you can't do that, make an appointment, get a blood test, and talk to your doctor about counseling if you feel stressed and afraid. It WILL be ok!! The white discharge looks like a yeast i fection, I was just diagnosed with one, and I had the exact same discharge, but I am not a doctor, and I am sorry.

      hi brittany, i hope ur feeling alright now. my understanding of herpes is that it lasts a short time and based on the white discharge and pain when u pee is very rare cases for herpes. it could be chlamydia bcz i got that in jan 2018 after having unprotected anal sex with an escort. and just 5 days of antibiotics and poof it was gone, but i didn't develop any bumps or that sort. it was just white discharge burning sensation when peeing. so just dw too much. i'm pretty sure ur fine. so just go to a specialized private doctor and let him test u properly. keep us updated .. i hope i helped 😛
