I started noticing symptoms a week ago when my what I thought was my clitoris seemed sensitive. Three days ago, the sensation became discomfort and I took a detailed look in the mirror at my vulva. Nothing seemed wrong except maybe some slight redness around my clitoral and urethra area. The day after, I discovered that I got a burning sensation when urinating. Upon further inspection, I discovered what looked like a small pimple on my inner labia, parallel to my urethra opening. It was very sensitive to the touch (this was what i was feeling earlier in the week). However, the 'pimple' didnt look like it was filled with fluid, just raised and tender. By the next day, I woke up in pain, and found that the pimple had multiplied! I now have 6-8 small blisters along my inner labia. They hurt like hell, and I just noticed I have a few on my outer labia as well!!! They look like they have burst (though I have not noticed Any discharge or pus at all) and are open and I now have small circles of exposed tissue on my inner labia where these blisters are.
I have only had one partner in the past 2 years. I just got checked for a full STD panel a month ago, and it all came back negative. However, i have never had symptoms like this before, and am very, very scared I may have herpes or HPV (though i got the gardisil shots). It is so uncomfortable now that I have resorted to putting Vaseline on my labia to calm the painfullness! Does anyone know what this may be?? I have an appointment to see my doctor in two days, but im starting to wonder if I can wait that long. I am petrified and have no idea what this could be!! Please someone respond with thoughts!
Last night, i noticed a marble sized bump protruding from my groin area along my bikini line. My friend who is a nurse said it looked like a swollen lynphnode. I also started getting an unusual, very liquid discharge from my vagina. The blisters are now all open, exposed and some are even mildly bleeding....This is SO scary!!!!!
I went to see my doctor this morning. She thinks its either genital herpes, or some type of bacterial infection. She wrote me a perscription for both, along with a numbing ointment for the blisters. I wont get the test results back intil early next week. The suspence is driving me crazy though!! I dont understand how this could have happened to me. I got a full STD panel done in march, and it all came back negative. Since, ive only slept with my boyfriend, and we use condoms every time.
Does this still sound like Herpes to everyone?? i know im grasping at straws, but I am completly petrified, in a ton of pain, confused, and worried about the results. Any thoughts from anyone concerning what this could be??
My BF did not get tested (hes a New BF, weve only been seeing each other for about 3-4 months). I have not had any other sexual exposure to potential STDs. We have however, used condoms every single time with intercourse. It is possible that he has been infected with something, and has passed it along to me.
Im praying this is some type of bacterial infection, rather than herpes. But can a 'bacterial' infection give you such similar sypmtoms to herpes?
blisters on labia
swollen gland on groin area
very painful urination
discharge
as a side note....the reason i got tested in march is beacuse I had unprotected sex with the 'new boyfriend' once. I immediatly made an appointment with my doctor for 12 days later. This is when I gte the bloodworkup done. Despite the fact that it all came back negative, is it possible that there was a latency period where I may have been infected/exposed to herpes or something else....and that it didnt immediatly come up in the STD panel because it was too close together? Could what I have now be due to that one time unprotected sex prior to the negative STD results??
These symptoms keep getting worse! Now I am getting alot of very fluid yellow/white clowdy discharge. Ive taken 2 doses of the perscriptions my Doc wrote me:
1. IC Flamciclovir
2. IC Cedfadroxil
Is this much fluid discharge normal? Is it more indicative of a bacterial infection perhaps?
Day 2 of being on antibiotics and herpes treatment. The sores seem better, and I havent noticed any new ones. I am however getting a bloody discharge now, which is pretty scary. I cant tell if it coming from my vagina, or from the sores on the inside of my labia (which are now pretty swollen and smushed together). Is this a normal?? How long until I should call my doctor?
