I'm in agony and absolutely terrified.. Does anybody have any ideas to help!!

I started just being swollen and in pain and eventually went to the clinic after getting myself so worked up! I'm only 17 and haven't had many sexual partners. When I went to the clinic I was told they think I have started with genutal herpes but have taken tests to be sure. The tablets haven't really helped with the pain but my biggest worry is having to pee. It is unbearable! I haven't told my parents so there wondering why I'm walking around like I've popped myself. My biggest fear is going to the toliet in trying to drink as much as I can but the pain is just so unbearable that it terrifies me to go. Does anyone have any tips of how to help the toliet situation!? As I type in sat in a warm salt bath trying but it's too painful! ://

That's good that you're drinking loads! Keep up your fluid intake. Believe me, concentrated urine burns much more, so you need to keep it diluted. You can add a bit of baking soda to water and drink that (alkaline to combat the acidity). You can also pour water down there while you pee. Soaking in Epsom salts helps (not sure what kind of salt you're using). For pain relief, try oral paracetamol or ibuprofen, or topical lidocaine. All should be readily available without prescription.

Thank you! Last night the pain seemed to be reducing when I peed not gone by any stretch but defiantly reduced. However I've woken up today trying to pee again and seems the pain is back to being unbearable.. Do you know why this could be!?

Because urine is more concentrated after being "stored" overnight. Keep urine diluted and/or alkaline and the pain will be noticeably reduced, so knock back a bunch of water now to ease the next trip to the toilet. Pouring water while peeing will add to the relief. I used a handheld shower over the toilet, in case you have one. Hope that helps!

Thank you!! I'm trying to drink as much now as I can I presume that also because over night you can't top up of pain killers it's at its worst in the morning!? I think I may make myself a salt bath soon to clean out the sores hoping to pee again today in less pain! Thank you again.
