Aa
could anyone please offer advice
For the past year and a half I have been experienceing extreme vaginal burning and soreness..it comes and goes can be perfect for months then will start again..and generally after I have sex which has put me off so ive had it very little. Ive been to the gum clinic numerous times and they say its not herpes..ive never had sores to culture. Ive also had 3 igg blood tests at different times which show poz for type 1 and negative type 2. Ive had coldsore since childhood so type 1 would show positive. My own doctor can not explain what it is or any other doctors ive seen.they just all say its not herpes. 10 days after protected sex this has started again..burning all over and irritation and this time ive noticed the skin is peeling off the clitoral area. Could anyone please advise what could be causing this? Does it sound like herpes but all blood tests have missed it? They were all done 3_4 months after sex to be safe. Could it be type 1 genitally? And how will I ever know if there is nothing to fulture. Today it is so bad I cant wear underwear. Is there any other sti or disease which cause such symptoms? Thank you
Can I also rule out genital type 2 since 3 igg tests have been negative past 16 weeks each time and also because I have only had protected sex and there has never been sores? ..I did get a throat infection this time too and swollen glands in my neck..im waiting for swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea
It has been 3 different times and ,3 different men over the last year and a half so I doubt they have all used same soap etc. I am thinking maybe the latex condoms but if that was the case woudlnt it start the next day. Can I safely rule out herpes as this keeps happening and ive had the igg tests and not had unprotected since and no sores? The man from ten days ago swears he is tested regularly and has no issues
Hi, since your have cold sores would indicate that you have oral hsv1 so you cant contract it in the vaginal area a are basicly immune by having it oral. Since this happens after sex it would appear either fungal in nature as your skins pH is changed from contact with him or hes using some type of genital cream or soap thats your allergic to.
