I have herpes type two, I contracted it 4 months ago. I'm a female. Since my blisters were gone I've been trying to have intercourse with my partner. It hurts bad, I used some lubrication k-y something. It helped but still hurts like my skin inside feels burning or ripping. we used condoms and well our intimacy doesn't last long because I can't really go on. Is it herpes that is causing this?

    Could it be residual nerve pain? Some women report nerve pain in the vagina, even when not having sex. Perhaps you have a milder version of that which is only noticeable during sex. Does it feel like nerve pain?

      Maybe go see a gyno for a check-up to make sure everything's okay. If nothing's wrong, then perhaps it's a kind of superficial nerve issue that will hopefully resolve with a bit of time.

      Probably somehow related. Oddly coincidental otherwise! Still good to get it checked out by a gyno, though.

      I've been getting some kind of pimples, I used to get some before I contracted herpes. But not they're like on my thighs kind off near to my vagina lips . They're full with white liquid but small. My doctor said it want an outbreak and slowly became less but today I poped some on my vagina lips and they were fine because they were probably razor bumps but the one further close to my thighs I poped them and started to bleed is it an outbreak or something else ? Sorry for the long explaining

      It's hard to say, because asyou know, herpes lesions can pass for several things and vice versa. If you had similar pimples before, then perhaps it's the same again. Herpes lesions don't usually bleed if popped, but it also depends on where they are, what stage they're in, and how hard you squeezed. Rule out other possible causes of your pain first, then it can be better assumed that it's somehow related to herpes. The coincidence makes it seem likely it's related, unless you have another issue going on down below.

      Thanks, I will make an appointment with a gyno.

      Also, do you think I should wash my hands everytime I touch my genitals. Like when I'm putting my underwear or putting cream or having intercourse I sometimes touch my genitals but I feel scared that I will spread it in my body.

    I'm no longer in any pain but I was for weeks. We had sex every day for 2 weeks and I kinda just buckled through the pain. It's the same pain you were explaining like burning and ripping. I still have to use lubercation and it hurts less when your really in the mood I've noticed and relaxed completely!
