      It looks like you have a little tare is that the only one? Hsv can cause this but so can a bad yeast infection.

      I'm weeing alot but that might be cause I'm trying to drink loads of water and haven't eat cause I've bin worrying, erm I've had no abnormal discharge or smell coming from down there 🤔

    • Posted

      all though my smear came back as hpv found but no abnormal cells think this is why I'm worrying so much x

    • Posted

      It doesn't really look like herpes but the hard thing with diagnosing with pictures is herpes doesn't always look like herpes. I suggest you get the tears swabbed to be sure.

      this is what I'm worried about but no abnormal smell or discharge?

      also not pain full or itchy I had just come of my period and used very cheap lube witch I felt burning me so could that be why maybe friction or something? or reaction to lube x

    • Posted

      It looks like it could be but it doesn't have a clear blister like appearance.

      I do also think that them bumps and cuts is related to a yeast as Caitlin_B mention

    • Edited

      I've just spoken to the doctor im going in this afternoon but from what I've said to them they seem to think its a yeast infection, do you you both think the same and thankyou so much for you both getting back to me mean a hell of a lot 💖

      thankyou for sort of putting my mind at rest definitely let you no when I've actually seen a doctor as I say its not itchy not hurting going toilet as normal do you think it would be safe to shave now or leave it be for a couple of days as I find the prickly pubic hairs are iching me more lol xx

    • Posted

      I would just put up with it you still don't know what is going on and the last thing you want to do is make it worse.

    • Posted

      yea I thought that and thought it may be a silly question

      so I've just got out the shower seems to be nothing down there just very red x

    • Posted

      There is no such thing as silly questions 😉 I also suggest wait a bit with shaving. Is it normally this red after shower? Have you new soap or detergent?

    • Edited

      I thought when I sent it what a silly question haha 😄

      erm I'm not sure as I don't really look maybe I should start I used a disposable razor with I don't usually get on with then and also dried shaved with water I no I'm silly also I used pound shop lube with made it feel like it was burning I don't no if thats the cause I've had normal and no discharge I was itchy down there and felt burning so I scratched maybe that there's so many maybes could you tell me what you think and thankyou xximageimageimage

    • Posted

    • Posted

    • Posted

      Oh my that is a lot going on at the same time. Were you prescribed anything for the kidney infection?

    • Edited

      yes I have antibiotics

      I was cry when she had a look down there so she said we will get a someone else to look to and she also said there is nothing to worry about xx

    • Posted

      I'm glad you kept your appointment and it was not what you were worried about. I suggest using a good lube next time but I would definitely wait until everything is cleared up.

    • Posted

      yes me too thankyou for all your help you've bin amazing! I'm not having sex for a long time haha x

    • Posted

      I'm still not convinced would a doctor and a nurse no by looking down there if it was herpes x

    • Edited

      It is a 50/50 some will tell you yes from looking and some will tell you they are not sure and test. I would trust the for peace of mind. If you have the same thing happen without this original scenario definitely get tested again.

    • Posted

      right okay she seemed pretty certain it wasn't but I just can't seem to think what if she didn't look properly 🤔 they was going to swab me at the start then the doctor came in and said there is no sores or anything suggesting it herpes and dosent look like it no temperature pulse was fine also I think its just cause I've bin reading up about utis and it says you can have one with herpes I don't know if I just reading into it to much and over thinking x

    • Posted

      The other doctor was right it's kind of hard to get a accurate culture when there is no sore present. You can definitely get uti's with a outbreak but you can get them easily from just about anything I honestly believe you are fine. You can get a blood test which will check for antibodies but they are not as accurate as a swab.

    • Posted

      so as you know I wasn't very sure when the doctors told so I decided to get swabbed to be certain and I've had the results today I have thrush, I've nearly finished my course of antibiotics and feeling alot more better thankyou for all your help!

      and I suggest to anyone going through don't always believe Google always see your doctor 😃

      I'm so glad everything went this way for you. You are very correct Google is not your friend in a situation like this always see a doctor.
