Hi everyone!

I had my first genital HSV-1 outbreak roughly two weeks ago, as of yesterday I had no visible bumps down there and this morning I got my period. Will my period trigger another outbreak? And what can I do to prevent this from happening? Does it make a difference if I use tampons or pads?

Some women do find they have outbreaks timed with their periods, but most women do not. If you do find you have this problem you might want to ask your doctor to prescribe daily antivirals for you. That is the best way to help stop future outbreaks.

Good luck!

I usually have my obs around the time i'm ovulating and menstruating. Now i'm at the end of my period...then boom! Blisters! At least i'm not wearing pads now. It's harder if you have ob and period at the same time.

Before HSV2 came into my life, my skin always got really irritated, or got a yeast infection b4 my period. I have diabetes. Since HSV2, I still get irritated down below, but idk if it's an outbreak or just how it always was b4. Went to my doctor, she looked and said that wasn't an outbreak. It really sucks because I feel like I will never know for sure.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Zrozpaczona9 that looks like folliculitis to me, that’s independent of the question of herpes. The doctor is wrong in the sense that a negative IgG test is beyond reasonable doubt that you do not have herpes. It is a small percentage of people for which a false negative occurs. The doctor is right to take a swab to increase your confidence that there’s no herpes present. I’m sure you’ll have your result soon.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By Zrozpaczona9 · Posted

      Hey @WilsoInAus miałam dzisiaj wizytę u dermatologa, gdyż dostałam zmian w pachwinie, w trakcie wakacji nad morzem. Udałam sie tam ze zmianami w postaci strupów. Powiedział ze nie można wykluczyć opryszczki mimo negatywnego wyniku Hsv igg i zalecił wymaz z pochwy na Hsv i inne choroby. Wytłumaczyłam mu że zmiany zamieniają się w strup, ale nie ma w nich płynu, więc zalecił badanie śluzu pochwy na hsv PCR, zastanawiam się czy ma to sens, i czy wirusa można wykryć na podstawie tego badania w wydzielin z szyjki macicy. Z góry dziekuje za pomoc
