I’ve been in pain for about a week and a half. Particularly around my anus area. It hurts when I tried to poop, it felt like I was pushing glass out. I had this anus problem about 3 months ago but it went away. It came back and a few days later I discovered a bump in a rectal area. Sort of pimple like. And a few more formed. Mainly around the anus but there is 1 or 2 outside of my vagina towards the back.
My mom was convinced it was hemmoroids. It hurts me when I walk because my cheeks would grind on eachother. It hurts when I sit, especially when I try to poop. I don’t go half of the time because the pain is excruciating.
I went to the ER and they looked at the area and told me straight off the bat that I had genital herpes. No tests had been done, but I guess it’s that common that they can diagnose it without any lab tests. They put me on an antiviral medication to get rid of the “sores”, and I been on it for 4 days now. I take the pills 3 times a day. Sores haven’t gone away and my anus is still very painful.
Now I’m not sure who I got it from because I’ve had 2 sex partners in the past 2 weeks. My boyfriend now, & my ex (whom I only slept with once before this happened, & 2 days before sleeping with my boyfriend again) But I slept w my boyfriend 2 days after my ex. I’ve had a hard time pooping a few months ago, but these bumps are just appearing.
So I’m real confused as to what to do, whom to tell. I don’t want to accuse my ex, or accuse my boyfriend. I feel this information is personal and I should just keep it too myself. This information made me depressed and I feel like I can’t have sex anymore at all, because I’m so worried about passing it on to somebody else.
If I stay on the anti-viral medication, will a partner still catch it? I’m just confused and this whole thing is taking a toll on me. Any advice for my particular situation would be great thank you.
