Herpes Or Possible Yeast Infection?
Over a week ago my husband and I had anal intercourse with no condom, and he ejaculated inside me. 2 days later I noticed a burning sensation around my anus. I thought because I had had diarrhea for those two days that it was just an irritation. I also thought it could also be caused by the hemorrhoid I got when I was pregnant so I started applying the creme that I was given in the hospital for it. Two more days passed and the burning and itching was getting worse so I finally took a mirror and looked at the area. It had a bunch of what looked like popped blisters around the anus. I made an appointment with my PCM and she immediately thought it was herpes. I have been married 7 years, I was tested in October of 2013 and again in June 2014 for all STD's and was negative. I do not believe my husband has cheated, and if he contracted the virus before we met wouldn't I have been affected sooner seeing as how we have never used a condom? She did a culture and told me the results can take up to 2 weeks. She prescribed me Valtrex which I have been taking for 2 days and a cream to use. The pain only seems to be getting worse and it doesnt seem to be improving and it is spreading towards my vagina. Is it possible it is something other than herpes?

I am a 21 year old female. Just last month I had unprotected sex with a new sex partner. About a week after doing so I performed oral sex on him, we did not have sex though. The night I performed oral sex on him he was very restless that night like he was becoming sick, and he told me he was not feeling well. The very next day I developed a sore throat and went out with my friends. I was sharing a drink with my one friend (girl) and then very next day she also became sick. All of our symptoms included swollen tonsils with white spits, fevers, ulcers on the inside of the mouth and one ulcer on the lip but it was almost on the inside though you could see half of the ulcer when mouth was closed. At first I thought it was strep so I gotten tested and it came back negative. Then I believed it was herpes and the doctor said if anything maybe the coxsackie virus which isn't oral herpes. Well, the first time I got tested for strep they treated me with amoxicillin anyways. 3x a day for ten days. I had a yeast infection before starting the medication by the 7th day of the antibiotic my yeast infection was very bad I remember itching a lot at night. The next day I got a very hot shower. When I had gotten out of the shower I was wiping away my discharge "down there". Well as I was wiping my vaginal opening there were two white spots that were flat and white almost like two little ulcers but they felt more like a scabs. They did not hurt what so ever even when touched. I started to panic, I called my gyno and got in the very next hour. He said they don't really appear to be herpes if they don't hurt he said they might have been from scratching. Also i did not have swollen glands down there. He cultured them and I went home. The next day I looked down there again and they were completely gone! Like I never had that happened to me no scars or anything! My culture of the "lesions"(2) came back negative along with all of the other tests they also did. Though, I am very worried this might be herpes (herpes) still. I don't understand this happening to me and I wonder if I should get bloodwork done. I heard the first outbreak of herpes is so painful, I didn't have any pain. And I always take a look down there all of the time and I only noticed having those for one day and then they disappeared, what do you think this was doctor? Thank you, and I apologize how long this is.

Okay So On April 7th, I had sex with this guy from my job. We had a condom on and then the condom had gotten stuck inside of me and then it was stuck for a day. After I removed the condom from my body, I took the my way pill to avoid getting pregnant. A week later, April 15th, I had a bad reaction. My vagina was swollen and itchy and very burning. I had little red pimples which instantly turned into white sores about an hour later. It oozing white puss. I get tested and I was negative for Gonn and Chlymida (spelling) and diagnosed as a yeast infection. I was given terconazole the cream and everything went back to normal, My vagina was feeling better, no bumps or nothing. Well now, 2 weeks later, I have no bumps or nothing but my vagina is still burning, itchy, and I have white thick discharge which is sometimes watery. It has no odor, my vagina never smells. I also have bad abdominal pain and I went back to the clinic and was prescribed fluconazole which stopped my stomach ache for a while but It caused my stomach to feel like a burning. Also my anus is very itchy but no bumps. Is this the start of herpes? The burning senstation comes and goes.

This is my question BUT, I already know I have herpes! Have been diagnosed in 2002. There is no question that I have it...now
My question remains. Am I having OBs or yeast infections?
No blisters, I am on Valtrex suppressive therapy. Itchy vagina with cottage cheese like substance way up, not being discharged.
I have always wondered if those with herpes can have OBs that MIMIC yeast infections?
I have yet to have this answered after 5 years.
I'm not going to keep running to the doctor for Monistat and spending money when it's an OB. But is it?
STDs :: Yeast Infection Or Herpes?
I can't get officially tested for 4 more days, and it's clouding my vacation. I'm terrified that I have herpes. I know it's not prudent to ask the internet to try and diagnose me, but hopefully people on this forum are knowledgeable enough to give some advice. I either have a yeast infection or herpes.
Background: On Monday I completed about 10 days of antibiotics (yeast infection?). I also had sex with my new boyfriend for the first time two weeks ago, and again a few days ago (herpes?). We used condoms both times, but I know now that herpes can still spread. I didn't notice any symptoms on him. I should have asked before we had sex if he's been tested for anything, I asked him a couple of days ago and he assured me he's never noticed he had anything & the army tested him for major STDs (not sure if this includes herpes).
Symptoms: On Monday I was feeling nauseous all day and threw up. On Tuesday I had a 100 degree fever and body aches. I know that first HSV infections can lead to flu-like symptoms , but I also had just been in 3 international airports a few days previously and was jet lagged/sleep deprived so my immune system could've been iffy. Tuesday afternoon I notice slight itching around my vaginal opening. Wednesday morning I wake up and my vagina is caked with thick white discharge and the slight itching around my opening stayed the same. Some thick discharge continues. Today (Thursday) the itching isn't too bad. I woke up and checked myself in the mirror and notice a few slight, uncolored bumps around my vaginal opening. I didn't notice them when I checked Tues/Wed but it could have been due to insufficient lighting. I also shaved down there a week ago so they could be razor irritation? But I bet I'm kidding myself and they're herpes blisters. ****.
Does it sound more like herpes or a yeast infection? Should I buy an OTC yeast infection medication today?
Herpes Or Yeast Or Fungal Infection?
Hey everyone i have a sort of red area on inner thigh for second time in 3 mos, not sure if from shaving down there or im thinking i coulda got herpes from a gym sauna i sat on bench naked but had small towel under me but my balls touched the bench when i was sitting tho. Yea its crazy but i got these red bumps like a rash like a day and half later on inner thigh where meets my balls. Then a area above there in the crease where leg and balls touch got real red and tiny open sores or cuts. Doesn't hurt rly just very mild irritation right in crease. I knw this sounds crazy but i never have had anything like that and this is 2nd time since sauna 3 mos ago that its happened but no rash this time just the red area and cuts or watev. Looks like yeast or fungal infections i saw on google but the skin is broken like little cuts or sores in the red area of groin. I got no sores or anything on my penis or by it. Could it be herpes? Has anyone got stuff like that from sauna?

About 7 days ago my clitoris started to become very sore, with some white stuff around it. The next day my throat starts hurting. On Wednesday I went to the doctor and he swabbed and said it was a yeast infection. The next day I go to a clinic for a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and white gunk on tonsils along with white dots. The gyno gave me diflucan, and now on saturday, no help whatsoever, I now have these white sores around the outside on labia, rough skin. Still have thick sticky discharge, kind of off white?

I've been with the same person for 13 years now, we are monogamous. About 2 months ago, I started out what I thought was a yeast infection, truth be told I have never really had one up until this point, they weren't something I got at all. First i'll say i had been taking minocycline for my skin, i didn't take it everyday, just when my acne was flaring up, i had been taking at this time, to get my skin cleared up for the wedding. I went and got some monistat, which didn't help at all, this all occurred right before my brothers wedding. I'm assuming it was from the stress of the wedding, so anyway after dealing with monistat, and it not going away after 3 weeks I went to stat care, and they diagnosed me with BV. I took flagyl and it cleared up. I was normal for probably 2 weeks. UNTIL I got my period. So after the period I had that slight itch again, so 2 days later, i thought it was back. ( I should mention that in those 2 weeks that i was normal, i had a gyno appointment, my pap, and hpv test can back normal at that time) So i go back to stat care (I'm only going to urgent care because it takes 3 freaking weeks to get an appointment with my doc) So he looks at my urine again, and tells me there are no "clue cells" but he did see a bit of yeast. At this point i was also diagnosed with a sinus infection. So basically the doctor told me to leave the yeast go (which i guess is easy to say if you're a man that isn't leaking stuff from a private orifice of his body...( i don't know why he didn't mention to treat with monistat) but basically he told me to live with it for 10 days while on amoxicillin, because he said it would just come back after the antibiotic. So he also prescribed me diflucan. Diflucan, has not helped me one bit. Is this normal for many? I thought it might be weird since i have never taken it before. At this point I've been dealing with this for a month and a half. Also, i started the amoxicillin i went and got some ultimate flora, maximum strength for vaginal health with over 50 billion cultures. Which I've been taking religiously since i put the first amoxicillin in my mouth. (can i double up on these, and take 2 per day?) Anyway, so i take the first diflucan, and 3 days later no help. I did notice the symptoms ease up a bit, but still not gone. So i took a second diflucan and nothing... still the same crap. So i call my doctor who is aware of what's going on and he prescribed me 100mg of diflucan two times a day for 10 days. This seemed to be helping, the symptoms seemed to have eased up but never went away fully. I want to mention, I'm also on weight watchers so i have been eating basically lean protein and veggies for the past month or so. Lost 10 lbs, but anyway, I'm on my 7th day of the smaller does of diflucan, I'd say things were going okay up until last week when i got my period again. Things were okay during that time, my period ended just Saturday, and wow it's like an explosion down there now. I used pads which i normally never do, but didn't want to mess up the good that i was seeing. So Saturday was pretty bad, yesterday i notice things were back in full swing. I don't have much itching or irritation, just this annoying discharge that wont stop. I feel like I've been on my period for 2 months straight now. I wonder if maybe my yeast cleared up, and now im back to bv? Can leaving the yeast untreated cause bv? Can you have both at the same time? I can't figure out why this diflucan isn't working. I've never even taken it before this last episode. So last night i woke up and had this hard lump, it almost felt like a swollen vein, right to the upper left of my clitoris, it's not on the lip, but on the soft part of the skin between the clitoris and the outer lip, it really does almost feel like a long vein that is swollen, it's not so hard today, but it's definitely causing swelling, not enough to make me in pain, I'm just confused as to why it's there. I'm finally coming up on my obgyn appointment i made which is a week from today, and I'm getting to the point where i can't take it anymore and might just go back again to the stat care doctor because I'm sick of wearing these stupid pads, i feel like i have a wet diaper all day long. (also wearing the pads is causing boils on the inside of my butt cheeks, and thighs, from where the pads are rubbing. I'm one big bunch of miserable here. I have tried everything, except douching, i don't want to mess up the "flora" anymore than it is. Last Thursday, at my wits end i also went back to the health food store and picked up (from my research on the internet) cranberry, rephresh pro-b, folic acid, garlic, magnesium, evening primrose oil, Echinacea, I also was already currently taking vitamins, D, C, B, and a multi, i just added these other things to my routine, in hopes something would help. I'm lost, i don't get why out of nowhere i would have issues with this, first of all, and 2, i just don't know what to do with it anymore. Ever since the beginning of this I've been wearing 100% cotton undies, i have always wiped from front to back, i just don't get it. So currently this is what i take first thing in the am, I'm taking ultimate flora (1 capsule, and rephresh pro-b 1 capsule) can i take 2 of each of these per day, until it's cleared up? Can you overdose on probiotics?
Then i take my diflucan about an hour to an hour and half after. At lunch i take my multi, b, c, d, garlic, folic acid, and evening primrose. At dinner i take evening primrose, d, Echinacea, cranberry, and magnesium. I take my birth control at least an hour after that, and my diflucan in the evening. I try to leave at least an hour between everything so that i don't get interactions. I read about drinking baking soda water, but don't know how to do this, and not sure if i want to throw something else in the mix. I'm just very confused. I'm going on a vacation this year in 2 month, the first vacation I've had in 8 years, and i don't want this mess ruining it.
Vaginal Health :: Yeast Infection Or HPV? Discharge And Itching
I female, 29 years old. For the past three years I’ve been only sexually active with my boyfriend, we are living together and are probably going to get married next year. So, it’s a pretty serious relationship. I’ve stopped using birth control about a month ago because the new doctor prescribed me generic which had horrible effects on my mood. For the last week I’ve been experiencing extreme itching in my vaginal area, and it’s accompanied with the white discharge. Over the last three days I’ve noticed 3 small pimples appear and that’s when I started to worry this might be HPV infection. I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it was negative, but we’re a bit low on money now so I can’t get to ob-gyn for at least 3 weeks. Do the symptoms I’m experiencing sound more like I have yeast infection or HPV?

I have a yeast infection. I've had it for a month. It itched and burned so much and I told my mom maybe 3 days ago. She gave me Canesten which I put on. She also gave me some pills which I take. I get so much discharge that is like cottage cheese (I know this is normal for yeast infections) and I get a lot. I've never had my period, I'm 13 and a virgin and today I looked at my underwear and near the front (like near my vulva or labia or wherever the pee comes out) there was blood! I was shocked and started thinking it was my period, but I looked on beside my pee hole (I sound like an id**t, gah) (I think it's my labia?) an there was a huge cut! I mean, I get cuts a lot on my butt but this was horrible! I had to wear a pantyliner and it was fine, but I went to pee and it BURNED so badly! I told my mom about the blood when I first saw it an i told her about the cut on the phone cause she was at work and she said it was fine but I'm scared! I also have little white bumps on my labia and I've had them for a very long time! They've never bothered me I always thought they were normal, but I just want to clarify it. Also, I hate yogurt and I know it really helps your PHD level but I think it's disgusting!

I've been tested for: chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. And the results came back negative. But I only did a urine test and blood test, no swab. I don't have any green or yellow or smelly discharge but I recently have been getting thicker whiter discharge, it could be a yeast infection? If it helps, I am on the contraceptive pill Diane 35, have been on it a year and a half, I recently used it to skip a period to go on a holiday, I have also recently started seeing someone new and been having more sex than used to but it has been protected. Do you think I have an std that wasn't picked up in the urine tests? A yeast infection? Or could it be due to hormones skipping a period (I am now almost due for my period again next week too) or from having more frequent sex lately?

I have had a yeast infection for three weeks which was confirmed through a culture. I have been on monistat 3, terazol 7 (prescription), gynolotrim, and diflucan. I have also tried garlic, yogurt, and have eliminated all sugar and simple carbs. I am losing my mind as I have severe internal itching, throbbing and external irritation. Infections and STDs have been ruled out. My gynecologist is at a loss and tells me they've done everything. Though I tested positive for candida albicans I wonder if I also have a less common strain that is resistant to the azoles. I can't take it anymore. I am so uncomfortable. By the way, this is the first time in 20 years I've had a yeast infection and I'm 44.
