I just got told i got herpes n im so scared ive been on meds for a week now n its slowly workin but everytime i go pee n wipe it hurts so much... Even when i wash. Idk what to do or how to relieve the pain
ask your doctor for lidocaine cream works like a peach! no seriously though it's amazing and numbs it and doesn't burn. I was in your same situation, even a warm bath was painful so my dr gave me lidocaine cream it's awesome
Been there done that .
You will soon heal over .
I had the same issues , my ex would wash down there for me & I would use a&D ointment which helps a lot of you keep the area lubricated it doesn't hurt as bad..
How long have you had it ? Type one or 2 ?
Do you know who gave it to you?
My outbreak was only about 5-6 days I'm fully healed from it from what I can tell no scars or nothing down there
It does get easier as the days go on
How are you feeling ?
Lidocaine helps! It will be like that about a week. Next week will be better for you :-(
N yes i know who gave it to me ;(
And ive had it for almost 2 weeks the 15th is when i seen the bumps n stuff not very good feeling at all. I just wanna cry n cry i want it to be over with. How long does it take to heal n stuff? I go to the doc today to really test me. I went to the er n she just gave me a shot n meds to take 5 times a day so idk what i am think 2 gential
Where do i get that? Do they dry out on therr own? N i read to use a blow dryer to idk what to use or anythin i go to the doc today
I didn't know anything girl ..
I just slowly learned over time and I got diagnosed with mine on the 15th too , it's been two months for me so far ...
I don't know how to feel about it ..
Still in shock,I feel worthless used and damaged goods . Like I will never ever be able to have a complete life anymore . Not like before .
You should definitely get a swab test done so you can have the results in your hand ..
How old are you ?
Did you talk to the person that infected you ?
Fill a bath of warm water, not too hot. Waist high level, pour in half a cup of table salt. Sit for a while until you are comfortable and then move about and find a comfortable position, for me I sat side ways so my legs where spread apart, like a meditation position, if you can, depending where your sores are you can use your hand to spread your labia etc apart a little so the skin isn't touching your pee as it comes out, then pee. Sorry it's a bit detailed but it really worked for me, I cried in pain when going to the toilet even in the bath until I repositioned myself and tried this. Worked a treat. The salt water also helps clean and dry out the blisters and heal them faster, using a hairdryer on cool setting to dry the area after this and bathing means you don't need to touch your sores too.(My doctor told me to do this, the salt bath and peeing in the bath). I did this twice a day for three days X
Feel the same way. Awaiting my results that am pretty sure going to be positive for hsv 2
No he ignores me ;(
N i feel the same worthless n disgusted in my self i really do. N im gonns see if she can do one today while i go to the doc. And u take meds everyday still? Are yours gone
How long did it take for u to heal? I even have soreness in my colen area ;(
I go to the doc today so ill ask her plenty of questions.. This isnt fun n its so much pain cant even wash my self right. I use baby soap n lil towel to clean down there. Ive been using a hair dryer so i use it on cool or heat
Did u just find out? N are u still hurting alot? N is the bumps by your pee hole n around it? Mine are n its so painful ;(
Im 24
I went to the doctor on the Friday, by Tuesday I was healing well. I took antivirals for 5 days, the baths were the best thing ever, sitting in the salty water will clean the area too. I used a cool setting on hair dryer to dry off afterwards and I would rub some nice shower gel everywhere else avoiding sores and rinse off after peeing in the bath water to keep fresh. Treat yourself to a nice soap to use elsewhere and keep the sores clean with salty baths, chemicals can make the sting worse or use something pH balanced. Be good to yourself and treat yourself with love and lots of compassion, you are so much more than this experience. (My tests came back negative.)X
So u dont have it or u do? Im just so scared n dont know what to do just want this pain to be over with n get back to my normal life n not feel so nasty n stuff i dont like it one bit
N im gonna try bath water tonight. N just use regular salt n how much? Thank u for talkn with me.
Can i use that ointment bactrum
Could i ask what your symptoms were and with the negative test results what your doctor thinks it was then? I have one quarter sized sore on the inside of my labia that just itched slightly. I went in got it swabbed THEN the sore somewhat hurt sometimes when i peed. I did have flu like symptoms but then again everyone in my house hold had the same symptoms in the same week.so im waiting for the results and i am looking for the slightest hope that its not herpes...... time will tell of course
When I first went to the clinic I had small sores and was in a lot of pain, at that point I could pee ok. That was the Friday. I was told after a visual examination that it looked like herpes 1 genitally. My sexual partner it turned out had suffered from cold sores in the past but he had not had on in over 16 years. He had performed oral sex on me 2-3 weeks prior to me getting symptoms, I also had fever and flu like symptoms. At the clinic I had a swab test and herpes specific blood test along side all sti tests. Everything came back negative, but, because it takes your body a while to build antibodies against the virus if you have never had it before it can sometimes fail to show up in a blood test so I'm getting retested in a few weeks to be sure. You will feel better soon, ask for the numbing gel, that helps too, and try not to touch your sores unless you really have too. I was told to fill a bath waist high, warm but not too hot and pour in half a cup of regular salt (I don't know what size a cup he meant but because of the pain I probably poured in more than he suggested). X
They gave me one called instillagel.... I don't know about the one you mentioned
Okay thanks u so much symptoms were itchy burning n i noticed bumbs around inside lip area where u pee n i got scared so i went to er . they told me it was that. Now there open kinda bleeding now. Not use to this
