Herpes??? Help
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have had unprotected sex after self isolation from Covid 19 and recently developed symptoms of multiple infections. It began with a burning sensation when passing urine and my vagina was very red. A day later I noticed sores located inside my vagina. They did not look like herpes/warts but there is always what if? They're ulcer looking but only located in certain areas, not in clusters, just the odd one. I have also had excessive discharge to the point of wearing a pad. This is quite cloudy, stretchy at times and very watery.
I have been the doctors and they are still quite unsure what the problem is, they are not certain on herpes or another infection such as yeast or BV. I have had STI tests done and waiting on results.
I just thought I'd ask on here for some advice and see what anyone thought.
They have started me on treatment for herpes just in case, this started 3 days ago and I havent noticed any improvement? please advise
Thank you.

my outbreaks are very similar to this. same symptoms too. my first was sooo painful but if it is herpes , the severity will lessen over time. azo plus ibuprofen or tylenol got me through it

Thank you for the advice, hopefully my test is not positive but if it is I need to learn its not the end of the world and I can live with it 😦

i try to remind myself its a skin infection that flares up from time to time, not the end of the world!! it sure felt like it, but ive learned that it doesnt define me and my life hasnt changed at all honestly. if you test positive it WILL be okay ❤

antivirals dont work immediately, it takes time for them to work. they dont necessarily treat an outbreak but supress the virus to reduce future outbreaks

it does look like it probably is one, good thing you got swabbed and got the antivirals that should help
