    Hi mikayla,

    Sorry, can I ask a few questions first:

    Can you tell us when you first started noticing the change in discharge?

    Was it after sex with your BF/new partner?

    Is the discharge smelly, itchy or smelly & itchy?

    I'm also curious to know why you think this is due to herpes?

    Thanks,

    Adhari.

    Thanks mikayla,

    Sounds like you might be correct, but you'll need to get properly checked and tested for infections. The reason why herpes can cause a watery discharge is because it can ulcerate the vaginal lining as well as the neck of the womb (cervix). It's therefore important for the doctor/nurse who sees you to pass a speculum and for you to ask them specifically to examine the cervix and lining of the vagina for signs of ulceration. If they find ulceration, they should take a swab for herpes. If you can get to see your doctor in the next 48-72 hours and they find that it could be herpes, then so much the better as the medication for herpes (aciclovir) works best during the acute phase of the infection. It will also help clear your symptoms faster.

    For now, drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated, rest up and take some paracetamol for your fever and aches.

    Rgds,

    No, not necessarily. Herpes can present in many ways. For a woman, you'd typically expect vulval sores. But a woman has a vagina (!) and internal herpes may present in more subtle ways.
