Vaginal ulcers

[Alex211714]

Long story short, I was on vacation last week and went horseback riding for the first time Friday. I noticed after, I was so sore and uncomfortable. We flew home Saturday and Sunday i saw small ulcers on my vagina. One on my outer 'lip' and a couple on my perineum. No blisters, just sores. They aren't red or anything. Then I started to feel like I was getting a fever and I noticed my throat had white spots on my tonsils and it's hard to swallow. My Lymph nodes are swollen as well. I woke up today and I had more of the ulcers and i have a pain underneath my ribcage on my right side. I'm freaking out that its herpes, but I don't have any blisters and they aren't 'crusting ' over. They also aren't clustered together. I've been in one relationship for years and also had a baby 2 years ago where they did a full std screen and it was all negative. Could I possibly have strep or mono and that is causing the ulcers?

I would go to urgent care to get it cultured today. My outbreaks doesn’t present itself as the classic normal outbreak. I get one small spot. Doesn’t itch, hurt, no tingling, it doesn’t scab over or have any fluid. Just one single spot. Even two doctors didn’t think it was herpes. I’ve only had it twice. It’s occurred in the same spot both times. No other symptoms. My lymph node wasn’t swollen by the looks of it, but was sensitive when I pressed on the lymph node, but you couldn’t see by just looking. If I hadn’t got it tested, I would’ve never known since it doesn’t resemble herpes and I had no other classic symptoms. I realized I had mine by just wiping when I went to the bathroom. Took a magnifying mirror to even see it. The sooner you go the better chances you have of get a reliable result. The first time I had it tested, they couldn’t get a result since I waited too long and they didn’t get an aquedate sample (because there’s no fluid). The second time I made sure they really scraped it and dig in there good since I still didn’t have any fluid or blister like substance to make sure they had enough to test.
