Is this Genital herpes?!! Getting worst
Posted , 10 users are following.
First off let me start by saying that about two weeks ago i had symptoms that resembled a UTI. i had itching, discharge and some stomach pain, intercourse hurt aswell. I had no swelling, no bumps and it did not burn to pee. During that time I was having unprotected sex with my boyfriend and the only person i am sexually active with (for a year now and have gotten tested regularly) Little by little my UTI started to go away, I felt fine. About 5 days ago i shaved down there and i cut myself, i was bleeding but thought nothing of it. A few days later i started noticing bumps down there along with some pain and swelling. Started off only a few bumps , now its multiple. It burns to pee, i am swollen, it hurts to even sit or walk, i can barely spread my legs. i am managing the pain but i havent been able to get a doctors appointment. IM TERRIFIED!!!!!! im fearing the worst

u need to see a gyno at a walk in clinic also it does look like herpes and could have caused the uti since it lowers the immune system. your boyfriend could have the type 1 if he doesnf have anything down there

thank you, i'm in so much pain i might end up in the emergency room tonight. he has no symptoms and im too embarssed to even bring it up to him until i know for sure what it is. I havent had any symptoms or issues like this ever and hes been my only sex partner for a year. why now would these symptoms appear?? Also any remedies to help soothe the pain in the meantime? IM DYING RIGHT NOW

Hey! this looks very similar to the herpes outbreak i am currently suffering with after letting my boyfriend go down on me with a cold sore. you need to get some anti viral medication if this is your first outbreak as this should stop any more sores from forming. all i can say is that i am 4 days in and its only getting worse, my sores are oozing with pus and fluid and nothing is helping with the pain i have tried all sorts of creams. im just going to continue to wash the area with cotton wall and water with a few drops of tea tree oil and hope this eventually passes.

this is your first outbreak meaning you just got it or have you been dealing for awhile ? i went to the hospital , he did swaps, took blood and urine and basically gave me a cocktail of antibiotics but even he wasn't sure from first glance what it was. He said it does slightly present itself as herpes but that cases that hes seen, the bumps look slightly different at times. I have to wait for the results back and i'm still in pain even after the antibotics. i know they take time to work

yes i think i caught it last week after my boyfriend went down on me with a cold sore. but with herpes its hard to tell when you caught it as most people never have symptoms anyway! but yes its my first ever outbreak and my god it is absolute hell, all ive done is research and read about it theres so many articles online about how to deal with it. there are so many people on here too that are helping me get through it. regardless of what you have i hope you feel better soon and if it is herpes, feel free to message me x

this does look and sound alot like herpes.
make sure when you see the doctor the swab your sores. it will be painful but at this time it will be your most accurate results.
it could also he a bacterial infection but the pain with that is usually very minor!
get to a doctor and get some antivirals and lignocaine gel! x

thank you , i didn't want to jump to worst case scenario . i know there are a wide range of infections down there that mimic herpes like genitial folliculitis but given the pain level it worries me. I have to wait for these results to know for sure . I was given anti virals

Waiting for a call for these test results feels like pure hell. Peeing feels like hell. I'm beyond depressed, hurt. I never thought this would happen to me.

I can relate. Waiting for that diagnosis took forever. I recently just experienced my first outbreak last month and was newly diagnosed. if you are only taking antiviral I highly suggest a taking some immune support and a diet of high lysine.I want to do everything possible to keep my outbreaks of a minimum. I’m also taking suppressive medication.
I know the mental anguish that you’re feeling. I felt like that too could not believe this was happening to me, how could this be happening to me I have been so careful. i’m just here to say it gets better. And then then I have such a more healthier mental outlook on it.

I'm just in denial because i been having sex with the same person for so long and its kind of like why only now am i experiencing symptoms after a year of being sexually active with him? I told him that i was experiencing symptoms, i didn't say of what, just said some burning and pain down there. I'm too embarassed to tell him i might have herpes which is irrational because he most likely gave it to me. He claims he has never had any symptoms of anything and that he hasn't been dealing with anybody else and that if he ever were to he would use condoms. Anyway my symptoms have approved , i still have pain and swelling and it burns to pee but the sores seem to be going away slowly. My thoughts are to go vegan, my family is already vegan so it shouldn't be too hard. I just fear future relationships and having to tell somebody i have this and them being disgusted and not wanting me .

I feel the same way. About having to reveal to potential partners in the future. What probably aggravates me the most about it is that I see people with Cold sores on their lips and I think to myself ha ha I wonder if they have to tell people they have herpes? More than likely they don’t. Or they don’t even think of it that way. Since my diagnosis last month I have learned so much. I was gifted this lovely disease from someone who assaulted me. A lot of mental anguish came from that as well.
as far as being afraid to tell your partner being embarrassed, if you haven’t been with anyone over a year he most likely gave it to you. I would recommend having a blood draw done and seeing if you have any antibodies in your system yet. if you don’t have any in your system or it’s very low and that’s who gave it to you. The higher the antibodies the longer you’ve had it.
And keep your head up, it may even be herpes!!!

i been i guess you can say having this 'outbreak' since Monday. Monday and Tues and Wends it was very mild and i even went to work and dealt with the uncomfort for 8 hours straight. Thursday night the pain became so unbearable i went to the emergency room and they were very thorough thank god , they swabbed me , they did blood work and he gave me the first dose of anti virals as well as other antibotics . I'm just awaiting the results. They said they would call in 48 hours and nothing. Doctor wasn't 100 percent sure it was herpes but he still perscribed me the treatment for it anyway which seems to be helping so i guess i have it sigh I'm so sorry that happened to you and i am here to talk , message me whenever
