HSV-1

[Dlink]

After about 4 days of a slight burning sensation from prostate area to the tip of my penis, I went to a doctors care.  I was tested for an infection(which was neg)  The doctor gave me some antibiotics and said it may be urethritis.  After another couple of weeks of discomfort I returned to the doctor.  I explained to the doctor I noticed an increase in discomfort especially after 2 cups of coffee one morning.  He decided to test for HSV-1 and HSV-2.  A lady called a week later and said I tested positive for HSV-1 and don't share a glass or kiss if I get a cold sore.  Having said that I know that I have and do get cold sores every couple of years especially when I get lots of sun exposure.  I am still having mild discomfort that has not seemed to go away.  My girlfriend was also tested and she was Neg. for HSV-1 and 2.  Could this be HSV-1 in my urethra? If so why does it seem different from a so called "outbreak" ?   Thank you....

My symptoms were similar.

When my Urologist diagnosed me with non-bacterial prostatitis he suggested the two things I should stay away from were caffiene and alcohol.

I have had real good success with herbal prostate treatments (saw-palmetto)

no it's not hsv1 genitally. you have a well established hsv1 oral infection so odds of it being transmitted to your genital area are too low to worry about.

Continue to follow up with your doctor and/or consult an urologist. also limit caffeine intake - sometimes that's an issue too.
