Genital Herpes Prodromal Question

Genital Herpes Prodromal Question

Can it feel like Prostatitis?

And if so, can it last through the entire episode?

I have had to interesting ulcers on the inside tip of my Urethra and then one on my scrotum.  Both at different times.  Each time they seemed like I nicked them doing something, and then healed in literally 2days.  Can this be herpes.

The prodromal question is because I do have chronic prostatitis and have since I was 22.  In both cases I felt like I had some UTI or infection before these specifc ulcers appeared.

To be clear, I did feel one of them and thought I had injured it because sometimes the semen will attach to my underwear and at one point I went to walk in a direction and felt it, but not sure if it was an ulcer at that point or ripped skin from my underwear adhesion.

Thanks for whatever advice I can get for this wierd situation.

I have been sexually active, and have made some questionable decisions.  But the girls I have been with seem healthy and would have been honest with me, I believe.

Thank you

to add.  they were 1mm in the Urethra and 2mm on the scrotum.  They were not painful, and they healed a little everyday until walking or urinating peeled off the layer within 24hrs of finding it.

Thanks

meant to say, they would heal a little each day, even within the first 24hrs.

no, because I keep hearing from ALL of my doctors that are top doctors that the tests are not consistent and that you could get a false positive and affect your self esteem forever.

I dont want to feel that if it ain't so.

By the time I get back in town these will have both gone, as they happened while I was out of town, so I haven't been seen with them yet.  After the first time I mentioned it and showed the doctor where it was, and he was uncertain.

the tests are not perfect and we have ways of ruling out false positives. for the vast majority of people, the tests do return with accurate results. no test is ever 100% accurate.

no other opinion without testing?

The reason why I ask is because the two incidents were no where near each other.  One being on the scrotum and the other being inside the urethra.

both healed in three days, but tried to heal everyday but got peeled off.

Lastly, both were related to possibly injury, but looked like an ulcer more than a cut.  They reminded me of the chancre sores I get in my mouth after I bite my lip, but healed faster.
