Dear vic,
If you didn't mention your recent diagnosis of HSV-1 genital herpes, I would have assumed that an itchy, sore, red vagina with discharge would likely indicate thrush. Is this possible??
I ask because unlike HSV-2, genital herpes caused by HSV-1 is NOT typically associated with recurrences. Unless you can see ulcers and a rash suggestive of an outbreak of herpes, I think it's worth trying some thrush treatment (pessaries and cream) first.

hi thanks for your reply. I have tried using 2 lots of thrush treatment and this hasnt helped at all. so i bought some aciclovir from an online pharmacy as couldnt get an appointment til Friday to see a doctor and since I started taking the aciclovir I have had a lot of discharge as I say clearish in colour with no smell to the point it feels as tho I am peeing myself at times

OK- thanks for the update. Sounds like both of us were on the same page in thinking of thrush initially. I think seeing your doctor is a sensible thing to do, now that you've also tried aciclovir.
