newly diagnosed first OB of herpes

Sorry to hear your going through this. Would not wish this on my worst enemy.

My first OB was before christmas.But I had said to lady doctor it is herpes had read up. She said think you right. I was putting sudacream felt wet obviously blisters bursting sorry tmi. But then could not wee. I even screamed going wee but had baths with salts. Or shower is better I think.

After that did not have much Information so felt disgusted with myself. Went to clinic again asked to speak to health advisor. After that felt much better. You boyfriend could have not knowing he got it. Some people have and don't have symptom of it. Infact I was told many people have it but unaware of it. It is like cold sore but down there. It should not affect your life. Many people have this. Theres dating sites with people that have it. Positive singles u can chat to other people too. Each guy u meet you will have to tell but be safe with sex. Although u need to wait until blisters etc cleared up. At the moment think I am getting my second outbreak hope not just feeling normal.

Theres lots people with this you not alone. It hard at first. I also split with my boyfriend.

2-3 weeks. Think depends though. Last week felt back to normal. As was still feeling itchy and tingling.

A week I had of meds. I also thought I have to tell my doctors. But you don't unless u pregnant.

I suppose new year started thinking about this and then once I spoke to several people felt better but the pain of losing my bf hit me bad. Hope u ok?

In time you will better. A lot of people have said it is not a death sentence.

I decided that taken a break from guys. Concentrate on myself. Think the pain of losing hit hard as wish he supported me through this. He didn't showed he no good.

I feel better as have spoken to many people online. If u feel that no guy will want u in future don't think that way.

Concentrate on getting. They a lot of other stuff to help with u feel better cannot remember and I am sure other people will come you.

I'm really sorry about your diag, it always is devastating to hear. I can tell you that this will get better, although it doesn't feel like it now.

To help ease your itching, take as many warm baths as possible w Epsom salt. It alleviates all my itching while I soak and for some time after, buy if sores are still trying to come out, the itching will continue.

There's no one size fits all for now long your first ob will last. Mine last for about 3 weeks before all healed, but I had severe neuropathy my second week in and for a few more weeks after.

You need to tell your bf that he may have given it to you. He coukd have passed it through oral sex, so if you test positive for hsv1, that is likely what happened. If your blood test comes back negative, it means it was a new infection and he passed it to you. The vast majority of people w herpes, over 80% that is are asymptomatic, so he may not realize he has it. There is a chance that you just now caught it from him. There is also a chance you've had it for awhile and am just now having an ob due to some trigger, but I don't that's the case. Wait for your blood results to come back and that will help you pinpoint it.

I am so sorry you have to go through this and a breakup at the same time.
