Bowel movements after HSV2

[Frasier 18]

Hey peeps with HSV-2, have noticed since getting it that your bowel movements have changed?

I had regular movements every day with 1 or 2 pieces but since this infection I now have constipation and only little niblets that come out.

I also notice that I seem to have difficultly holding in gas, it just passes and there’s nothing I can do about it. Never had that issue before this.

These are small issues compared to the rest of course. My entire body has changed from this.

I have never had a suicidal thought in my life but this has put me over the edge and thinking about it every day.

Dear Lord, will you please stop! Does everything that happens to you after you get hsv, attributable to hsv? If you have suicidal thoughts, you need to seek a counselor.

 The bowel movement changes are definitely due to my infection. I have been regular my entire life until after this infection, suddenly I always constipated and have pains internally.

Looks like others have the same so:

I have a whole slew of other things I just don’t mention. Constipation is the least of it.

Having never had any health issues to now have the virus I’ve always dreaded the most (after AiDS) is too much. I have been seeing a counselor but nothing will help my mindset.

Says who? What's the medical basis for saying that your constipation problems are due to hsv? Has a doctor confirmed that your constipation issues are directly from hsv2?

I’m in my 40’s and never had constipation in my life. Now I’m suddenly always constipated but I’m sure it’s a coincidence /s.

I am not here to debate with you bud. If you aren’t affected that way, great for you.

just googling “constipation hsv 2” shows quite a few hits so.

Just to chime in a little here lol your digestive issues are probably stress related due to your having hsv 2. Vitamin d is great for that

Thanks for the advice but in my case I can definitely feel i this not, that’s why I mentioned about my passing gas involuntarily. I just comes like I have no control over it and certainly never had that before.

[Taintedgirl 236]

Those are all digestive issues lol especially the uncontrollable gas try to drink more water for that. Your body will go back to normal don’t worry the stress has taken over right now but you will be okay 

[Frasier 18]

Thanks again for your advice but I know my body and googling elsewhere and in this forum has confirmed my suspicion.

i will drink more water as you suggest for sure.

The issue is not whether it's possible, it's whether it's true in your case. Bowel movement issues can be caused by hsv if the virus gets into the nerves of the intestines. Until that's verified in your case, your constipation could be a coincidence or indirectly related to hsv.

Did you pay the consultation fees.there are a lot of doctors here in this forum. Some of them very professional and fully aware of the science background they are mostly finding us the cure very soon. If anyone who has little brain won’t argue on what HSV could cause since it’s affecting everybody deferently they say 80% don’t show symptoms what about the other 20% again 80% of the 20% have mild symptoms and the unlucky ones facing a lot of issues with daily symptoms.anyways some doctors in here know more than me. Try could ask you also about your test result / if you have done type specific test and a lot of other stupid question. Many thanks ( this is a free comment ) we may start charging like the other doctors

Me too. Have very strange bowel movement since I got h2. Im not constipated but have very tony pellets.    Was always super regular. I use to eat oatmeal every day but heard when I got this people said oatmeal promotes outbreaks. I drink alot of water and eat veggies. Dont kill yourself over this try to adapt. @Frasier

I eat oatmeal everyday I don't get ob.. listen to your body. Maybe oatmeal does not sit with some .Don't b quick to change ur healthy eating habits

Magnesium or vitaminC to bowel tollerance then back off 500mg. That's what I use. 

I am sorry you are going through this! What did you go over with your therapist? Maybe I can learn something. 

Get one thing at a time under control! (((Tight hugs)))
