Symptoms of STD's/Vaginal infection

[paranoidspouse]

Has any female who has had an STD or vaginal infection experienced the following symptoms: Thick white discharge, thin yellow/green discharge, pain while urinating.   How long has it lasted for before being treated?

Just when I'm ready to put this to rest, my husband brings up another symptom..ugh!! LOL
I just want to forget about it for the next few days. But I guess we're both extra aware of our bodies right now, that ANY little change seems like a bigger deal than it probably is.


hope you had/having a nice day, Aj!

Those other symptoms would typically happen either just prior to the primary, and probably during it.

It wouldn't happen after.

primary outbreak in particular

Ok, it's not next week yet, and I said no more questions, But just want to try and understand the whole symptom thing a little more. I know the signs and symptoms are vague and vary from person to person. But when they say other symptoms that MAY accompany outbreaks, i.e fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen glands, etc...is there an approximate time when this can happen (before outbreak, during, or when they are healing?) Or does this vary as well?  Before an outbreak or few days after make sense, but is it possible still when they are healing?

Thanks for everything Aj.  It's been helpful to have someone to talk to and can offer some insight.
Will get back next week with results.

Unfortunately, things are vague with herpes, as there can be differences from person to person.

If someone has a brand new herpes infection, and hasn't had either type 1 or type 2 before, their first outbreaks are called a primary.  These are typically moderate to severe, and can involve a lot of pain.

If someone has a previous hsv1 infection, and get a new hsv2 infection, the antibodies from type 1 can help keep the initial hsv2 outbreak mild.

I'm sorry its so vague, but you just need to wait.  The results will give you more info than any speculation will.
