Thank you fleetwood. I have read that herpes doesnt cause the scrotum to burn and maybe that is true but my scrotum was on fire and I took valacyclovir 2 hours ago and it is already starting to dissipate.
I am already HSV2 seropositive with no outbreaks, diagnosed end of April with IgG type select at 8.46.
The day after the diagnoses is when all the symptoms started and have stopped since. I had no symptoms or problems the 6 months prior that I had to have had HSV2.
I will be getting a corticosteroid shot for my sports hernia and I will see if it helps.
I'm sure you realize that my view would be that if you do not have a herpes diagnosis do not take antivirals. How do you know this isn't a placebo effect?
HSV does not cause scrotums to burn. There are far fewer nerve endings there and the skin is so thick.
Go with the hernia issue and the appropriate treatment.
