Is this herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

a few days after sex i noticed some changes down there. i always take somthing for bv after sex as im prone to it . this time i took something i nevertook before.

a day or two later it felt very bumpy and swollen and really burns when i pee. I went to the emergency room today and they did a pelvic examine and swab. they treated me for gonorrhea and chlamydia and also took urine for a test. they also discovered that i have a uti and gave me meds for that i took a picture and now im worried it may be herpes but the dr i saw didnt say anything about herpes. i plan on going to my obgyn as soon as i can does this look like it?

      Thank you. i really hoped i was having a reaction to the ointment i used. The antibiotics they gave me yesterday have given me no relief.

      From what Ive looked up it could be a bacterial infection does it sting to pee? is the pain mild

      yes it does. it only hurts when i pee on one side. stings pretty bad. happens to be the side i put the oinyment too . so i try to tilt forwrd and flush with water when i pee.

      im never having again at this point. i took the ointment a day after sex and the person im with swearup and down they have nothing 😦

      my boyfriend of 1 year says he has no sores or anything no symptoms he says he feels fine. it stung to pee with me and it was a mild pain like i had Accidentally sprayed my Toilet paper with a peppermint oil mixture that is not suppose to go on skin and i thought i took off the part that was wet i hope that this is something to do with it. the dr said mines didnt look like herpes but still put me on the antivirals

      my pain is only on the left left side too. but the bumps are making me really wonder if its herpes. although the dr didnt mention it in the er. really praying its just a bad yeast infection or bacterial infection the dr said i had white discharge when he did my exam. my discharge papers say uti and vaginitis.

      hoping my gyno can squeeze me in tom. will come back with a update.

      did the antivirals help? ive put some petromlum jelly on the side that hurts and its help with the pain when urinating.

      i found out i was positive for trichomoniasis which they called me in an antibiotic asap. so ive been taking antiviral and only 4 antibiotics. i read on here a girl had the same sores and was taking antiviral and he sores got better so she just knew she had HSV 2 turns out she was negative. mines havent yellow crusted over or anything

      well thats good in a way because thats curable. mine have not crusted over either been experiencing this issue for 5 days nowa. Azithromycin and ceftriaxone they gave has done nothing. hope you feel better soon!

      i think i read that too. either way im prepared just want relief.
