First ob hell

Recommended Posts

I started to have moderate back and pelvic floor pains early last week I seriously thought I had a hernia at first.  I’d wake up with morning wood and that was very painful.  Anyways a few days later I started to notice a rash of bumps on my ass that would drain fluid if you touched or rubbed them then it got worse the next day the bumps had engulfed my scrotum, dick and where my ass connects?  It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced it’s pure hell I can’t sleep or get comfortable because the sores on my ass.  I take aspirin and baths in epsom salt and that gets me a little relief but I’m literally losing it.  I’ve kicked opiates multiple times and this is right up there.  I’ve read on here a bit after coming to the conclusion I may have h.  I’m a little confused on what to do next I’m not going to my dr i know the nurses there just not an option where can I get the Valtrex subscription seems like that’s my only hope.  I’ve read with the blood test I should wait 12 weeks?  Also should I be resting or is it best to get up and stay busy and just fight through the immense pain? Thx in advance

Went to urgent care earlier they visually confirmed the herpes but the swab test will be back tomorrow.  They gave me valtrax and sent me on my way.  I put the fan pointing at my ob and it feels so good I’m definitely sleeping like this plus it keeps it dry in my crotch any ideas how fast this valtax works? I was prescribed 2 1000mg pills daily

I doubt the Valtrex is the causing all the issues you describe but yes you can certainly cease using it once through this episode.

Is the swab result due back today? 

What sexual partners have you had in the week leading into these sores appearing?

I mean when is your swab result due?

Based on what you describe, it would be best that you also immediately obtain a blood test, IgG antibodies type specific for HSV-1 and HSV-2.

why do you say that please explain I thought the swan test would reveal what I have

Because 3 weeks is a long time between sex and an initial outbreak. The starting location on your butt is suggestive of a recurrent outbreak such that if it is herpes, it may be an older infection. A blood test now will tell you if this is a recent infection (in which case it will be negative or low positive) or a longer term infection (a strong positive result).

I called urgent care today they said my herpes test was negative as well as the other std tests they administered??

Then it’s not looking like herpes is a culprit here.

Return to your doc to discuss and get an IgG test.

      Good morning. My name is Marlena and I come from Poland. Sorry, my English is average. For two years I have been in a relationship with a man, for a year and a half I have been struggling with intimate problems. On average, my intimate condition is getting worse every month. Then I feel itching, redness, swelling around the entrance to the vagina, small blisters (not always). Most often it is only red and swollen, itches and then disappears. This state lasts 3-4 days. I come from a small town, doctors don't know what it is. They say it's 'skin irritation'. They prescribe moisturizing creams with lactic acid, probiotics. It doesn't help. I did a blood test for HSV on my own, which is very expensive in Poland, but it does not separate HSV1 from HSV2. The doctor, when he shows these results, says that it's not herpes, but irritation. I would like to add that in the past I suffered from herpes on the lips, then it was a 'scab'. There has never been a scab in an intimate area. Sometimes there are blisters that last 1-2 days, but not always. So what do high blood test results mean? I would like to add that in Poland people do not talk about the HSV virus. It's just that sometimes someone has it on their lips and that's it. Results translation: IgM HSV 1/2: questionable IgG HSV 1/2: result above the measuring range https://files.fm/f/4cpu7uee4

      This is my first time posting here. Im generally pretty anxious when it comes to anything to do with health conditions etc. For context I have had jock itch and fungal infections previously on my buttcrack. I have had 0 new sexual partners and I am not concerned about my girlfriend cheating at all. 4 days ago my balls began itching and red pretty much all over, as you can see some general flakeyness and what looks to be a lesion I noticed on Monday when I checked them out. My partner and I do get cold sores from time to time so the anxious part of me is concerned this could be herpes, but at the same time could be some sort of fungal infection. My doctor cant see me until tomorrow so I just have to worry until then. There is no pain and nothing on the penis or anywhere else, just general itchiness. Any ideas if this is herpes or not?

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.
