Hi I was wondering if someone could give me advise as I have my head done in looking at Google. Last week I was diagnosed with herpes. I'm still awaiting the lab results back but the doctor was more than positive it's herpes. I was in a bit of pain about two weeks previous to going the doctor but decided to go when pain got too much 'down there' . was pretty s**t timing as I recently started a new relationship. Thank god he was supportive. Thing is I felt like the sores and blisters had gone and decided to have sex with him the other night. The burning sensation afterwards was un human. My question to people is this the way it's going to be for me having sex all the time now or is it possible I wasn't fully over my break out and that's why it hurt so much. I'd hate to think I'll hace this pain everytime I have sex. I wonder if anyone can share their experiences with me I'd be greatful
Not all the time no. Me and my partner dont experience that burn during intercourse and we both have HSV2. Is it possible you may still have the outbreak or a new one from inside you that you dont yet know about? Or maybe the beginning of a yeast infection, which in my experience felt quite unpleasant during intercourse and was not aware until after.
Thank you for ur reply. Glad that its not going to be that way all the time. Maybe I still had a bit of a breakout and that's why it was so painful. As this is NY first outbreak and newly diagnosed it will probably take me a while to know exactly when my body is ready to have sex again after break outs.
You recently started a new relationship when you had your first outbreak? Just fyi, but your new partner could well have given it to you. Most first outbreaks occur within a week of infection. Just saying.
The first outbreak is the worst and things tend to swell up and can be easily irritated again. It's best to wait a little to fully heal and then some before trying again, and use lube to reduce friction. Too many people try to have sex immediately after healing, which nearly always causes pain.
