herpes in colon

Is it possible to have herpes appear in your colon? and if yes would this cause severe lower back pain, bloating, painful air entrapment, diverticulosis and possible severe gi bleeding?  Are Herpe outbreaks in the colon dangerous?
I have not been sexually active for a long time, and never knew I had herpes and it just began occurring. I had horrible GI problems and sever GI bleeding off and on for 8 years, I had surgery and thank God I am healed, but all of a sudden I started having herpes. I never had it before, as far as I know, could this have cause all the GI bleeding, and diverticulitis?

yeah a colonoscopy can show herpes especially in people that seem to be a symptomatic. most people arent (rare) but some have sores on their cervix inside(inside geniatalia etc...) but most people have symptoms on the oustide genital skin.

How did they diagnose you as having herpes?

I'm assuming that they did a colonoscopy at some point with all your ongoing gi issues, the biopsy would've showed herpes if that was the cause behind all your problems.

Sorry to hear that you are having so many troubles in general  :(
