Vagina Fissures

[worriedmind]

To all of you who have had vigina (vagina) fissures and went to doc and he/she thought it was herpes and did a herpes test and came bk negative:
did you have blisters at the tear? I am in that situation now and the doc said it is herpes and she sent for a culture test and I have to wait a few days for the result to come back. There is nothing worst than waiting for this result. I am so scared. I've read the symptoms of herpes and I did have all of those symptoms. The world crashed then but after I read your posts abt false herpes alarms i felt a little better. Please tell me you guys did experience these symptoms and turned out it was false alarm. Also she noted on my discharge sheet PID as well. And I read symptoms on PID and they are similar to herpes (except the blister part) but the PID has the abscess part that kinda like blister...She didn't give me anything to apply onto the cut area though...

You might want to check out the STD forum. However, in the meantime I can tell you that having herpes is NOT a big deal. If you have frequent outbreaks, or if you want to be especially careful about transmission to your partners, you can go on suppressive therapy. Otherwise, it's really nothing to worry about.

My suggestion for the future would be to always use condoms for vaginal/anal intercourse, and get tested for all STDs at least every year.

okay i got an update...after i spent about half a day on the phone calling my obgyn office to inquire about my last office visit...

They said they said herpes was one of the test they did last time and it was negative but the one they did was on the cervix...so should i be less concerned? more concerned?...

I feel like I am sitting on fire :(

And I just dont understand that if we are relied on the doc then why would they did a herpes test on the cervix (when I had no lesions at the time) and took my blood to do other STDs test????  I felt so let down by my doc as a 3 yrs old kid would have used my damn blood to test for herpes as well if that was what used to test for HIV, chlamydia, ghnorrea, etc...if we have to tell them what to do then we wouldn't be there to see them...

I am so upset!!!
