Aa
Am I ok?
Hi,
I posted last week, worried about my red balls, grace made sure to tell me I was paranoid and that I spend too much time looking at them, and I must say she is damn right. However yesterday and the day before I felt pressure in my lower stomach and it almost felt like my testicles were aching, along with my red srotum could this be a sign that I will have my first breakout? Doctor said my scrotum looked fine 5 days post, they havent changed in look according to my pictures. The bloated pressure feeling has gone away this morning so maybe it was something I ate. My encounter was on the 18th of april at 3 am, so It has been a little over 9 days. Would I know if I had herpes by now? There are no lesions but my testicles have been red since that day (maybe before, I never look this hard!). This would really ruin my life right now, I am only 21 years old. There is no way to know without a lesion according to my doc (who ran tests for stds when i went in not feeling well, even though it was protected). Would I have a fever? or is that an uncommon symptom? I currenty feel fine but I feel like I get a new symptom every so often, but maybe I am just anxious and paying way too much atention to every part of my body right now. Sex was protected so if I do get a breakout will it only be on my balls and not my shaft?? And if so, no matter how lame, would it prevent the spread if I wore my boxers during sex and put my penis through the hole? I know thats super lame but I would never want to transmit to anyone.
Also is the first sign of herpes an itchiness / burning or a dull pain? I have not noticed any itchiness or burning but the stomach pressure did have that slight kicked in the balls feel (not directly kicked but that long time period where ur stomach still feels weird after).

well the jury is still out on the idiot part but certainly the anxiety part is right :)
I thought that as soon as i posted this, sorry grace. The people here have been nothing but helpful. If anything new comes up I will add it on to this one rather than starting a new one, sorry for being difficult, just an anxious idiot.
it's most helpful when you just keep adding to your original post instead of making a new one each time. we ask this specifically in our read before posting post on the forum.
no idea why you keep arguing with us that this has to be herpes.
