Could it be false positive??
I have been in pain for a week. i used nair a week ago and it started stinging when i urinated the same day. I assumed it was a reaction. I went to dr's two days later and she said it was hair folical infections. Ended up in Urgent care same night with flu like symptoms.. they said they think its herpes.they did a culture and told me results be back in 2 days After no answer and the pain meds not helping. I couldn't walk, couldnt pee without it hurting, and missed work for three days, went back to dr. He said he didnt think it was herpes. By the seventh day i was unable to pee, i think it was anxiety about the pain. I went to ER and while i was there the urgent care called and said test was positive. I told ER and they treated me for it.
Anyway it could be a false positive???

could be any number of things going on. if it gets worse, be seen earlier than monday.
So i noticed a bulge right outside my vagina opening. I do go to the doctor monday but its making me nervous and want to know if its normal. I'm still on meds for BV. I'm not sure if its the BV causing it, the meds, or the herpes. Anyone know anything about this??? It's not painful.
yes it's fairly normal to feel "weird" down there with bv. I hate bv far more than I'd could ever hate my herpes!
With BV is it normal for it to feel weird down there. Not to be gross or anything but when i feel down there it's like closed. Not like an opening like it usually is. Is this normal. I dont hurt and i bearly itch anymore. I just ocasionally feel the infection coming out of me just like when i have my period. I'm kinda freaking out about it, i just noticed it when i went to the bathroom because i usually wipe really good to get the infection away from the outside.
sometimes getting rid of bv isn't all that easy :( hopefully once you treat this episode of bv, things will start feeling better for you.
do you know what type you have yet? we only recommend daily suppressive therapy for hsv2.
did they test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally when you were seen today?

went to the doctors. She did an external and internal exam. She says lesions are gone. I'm still a little inflamed. I'm still itchy. She also did an internal swab and said she would call with the results. waiting for the phone call. She gave me meds in case i feel a breakout coming on. I go back in 2 weeks to discuss suppression therapy. Anyone have any thought on suppression therapy? should i go with it or not? Still trying to find something to relieve itching, it has gotten better but i definitely have some type of infection internally becasue i can feel the infection coming out. Well i'll let you know what the results are.
When i go back in 2 weeks to discuss therapy is there anything else i should be asking her about??
thanks

I am not knowledable much on the female challenges. LOL. I believe BV is kind of hard to beat from what I have seen here. Let us know what the doctor states though.
I already had the lesions swabbed and then i called and had them test the type. Will get the results from that tuesday when I go. I am going to tell my doctor that I think it is BV and have her test for it. I was on medicine for BV when the outbreak started. Could it be back or not gone away? I am glad to be seeing a doctor finally, the last dr i saw was in the ER two weeks ago. And this is my doctor so she will take the time and figure everything out for me.
Having them test for the issues of yeast and bv is the best course of action. If he feels herpes is a cause he can swab the lesions though the culutre may not be accurate due to the time of the symptoms have been going.
It was just a phone call. I have an appointment on tuesday. I'll let everyone knows how it goes. They should have the type then as well.
Is there anything i should be telling/ asking my doctor? Anything I should have her give me?

were you seen and properly tested for yeast or was this just a phone call in? if it was just a phone call, I suggest going to be seen and getting a proper exam and testing done to see if indeed it is yeast or not. bv is usually more of the issue than yeast.
dermoplast spray ( the blue can for the genital area, not the red can ) is helpful to spray on the itching areas. also soaking in the bathtub with epsom salts, aveeno bath or even baking soda is also helpful for itching issues too.

Called the dr today becasue the itch has been keeping me awake at night. It's been awful. The dr gave me meds for a yest infection, i really dont think its a yeast infection but whatever. Really Really hoping this is the end of this outbreak.
I was on antibiotics for vaginits already, i took the entire script. Hoping it's healing. Is there anything to do to stop the itching or its just a sit and wait kind of deal??
Disregard william's questions he really has no idea about what he is talking about and trying to cause fear in people.
No actually i haven't had any pain in my legs, or lower back in a few days. No pain in the vaginal area either. Just itching now. Annoying itching.
sometimes the itch is healing, sometimes it's vagintis. if it lasts more than a few days, follow up with testing for yeast and bacterial infections.
so now the pain is gone and im very itchy....how do i get the itch to stop? I took an epsom salt bath and that didnt do anything. I have Lidocaine gel and I have nystatin. Should I be using one of them or do i need something different???
I read some of it. I guess tonight i'll read all of it. I think when this outbreak is over i'm gonna have a party! LOL.
The arms don't sound herpes related. You may need to seek out your provider to work with you on those pains as well.
There is a lot to learn here. You won't get it in a day I can promise you that. Did you read that handbook we gave you? It's got a lot of information.
