Just over a week ago, it became extremely painful for me to go to the bathroom, almost as if my stools were just extrememly hard and cutting me on the way out. There wasn't any blood, but then by the next day it had progressed to a horrible burn as I peed also. I would try to not eat or drink, just because it was so painful to go through the after effect! My boyfriend took a look and we then found a bump just to the right of my vagina, as well as two just inside my butt cheeks..like a bite of some sort. We went to the doctor, where she diagnosed genital herpes.

I have now been on the medication for 5 days, and since the bumps are now gone as wel as the majority of the pain, we tried to have intercourse again. I kid you not, it felt almost as though I had never had sex before. I was so tense, and it felt like he was breaking through and I finally had to have him stop. It makes it worse that he has a prince Albert piercing, and I told myself that I am just dry from the meds and his ring is scraping the wall. Then I went to the bathroom, and wiped some light traces of blood away. This morning, everything is back to normal. Could I have the outbreak on the inside? Am I just dry? Are we hurting me by forcing him in? I just need to know that having intercourse again isn't going to be of physical harm to me, as silly as it may sound.
