For the past week, I've been experiencing extreme anal pain. The pain is constant and gets way worse when I try to make a bowel movement. For the first couple days I thought it was constipation and I bought some stool softner. This didn't work and the pain became almost unbearable. I went to my university clinic to see a doctor. She wasn't sure what it was but gave me Hemeroid cream. I used it that night and it made the pain worse. I then went to the clinic again the next day and I now had new symptoms. It was burning when I urinated and I had anal bleeding. The bleeing only occured when I was trying to make a bowel movement. It isn't mixed in with the stool. It kind of pours out. The next doctor I saw gave me 2 creams. One to numb the pain (that burns like crazy when I first put it on, but helps the pain for a couple hours when the burning stops), and a second cream that was meant to cure the fungus he thought I had. This doctor also noticed that I had an ulcer around the anal area and took a swab to get tested, but since I didn't have any other ones he didn't guess Herpes was a possible explanation. He also mentioned I should go back if the urine didn't stop burning.
I continued to use this cream for 3 days and nothing improved and my urine was still burning. I went back to the clinic on Monday to tell them my new symptoms and to tell them that the urine was still burning. At this point I now had diarhea that was also extremely painfull and There was still anal bleeding. I also had bumps on my vagina that where sensitive to touch especially after peeing. My doctor looked and immediatly said it looked like Herpes. We have to wait for the tests to be 100% sure but she has given me Valtrex.
The burning sensation when I urinate is gone but I still have anal bleeding and the constant pain is still there. I don't have regular bowel movements but when I go they are extremely painfull and sometimes the toilet fills with blood during my bowel movement. I don't think anal bleeding is a symptom of Herpes but I am new to this and could be wrong.
Should I be worried? Or will this pain and bleeding disapear with my "Herpes"? (the bumps on the vagina that is, I am aware that herpes is not curable, only treatable).
I have been taking the Valtrex for 4 days now, it has cured my burning urine but I'm still siffering from constant anal pain.
Any suggestions, comments, helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
