Just had an inquiry!
Had anyone every gotten one of those cuts on the top of your vagina?? I've gotten them before I was diagnosed with HSV 1. I just had sex with my bf so I though maybe it was from that, but then I noticed there was a spot on the inside so I called my doctor and he gave me 3 days of valtrex just in case. I'm just curious if this would even be an outbreak because of what they say about HSV 1 genitally coming back again. My first outbreak was about 3 weeks ago and lasted about a week and a half. I also find that i'm more sensitive when we have sex. It almost feels like burning now as before it didnt feel like that so much. Unless it did and i'm just noticing it!
Did anyone else feel this way?? or have gotten the cut, but not necisarrily(sp?) because of HSV????

The cut may well be an HSV1 outbreak, or it could be from rough sex. I have read of a couple of people having problems with genital HSV1 for a couple of months before it settles down. If it is an OB, it could be a continuation or a hangover from your first OB - if it was only three weeks ago, this is quite possible. Keep an eye on your genital symptoms, they may persist for the next couple of months but if genital HSV1 follows its usual pattern in you, you should notice improvement after that time.

How were you diagnosed with HSV1, by the way? Do you ever suffer from thrush?

I got it from asymptomatic shedding. I got it from him orally. I dont think I suffer from thrush because I dont know what that is!!

Ok I meant, how did you find out you had herpes? What kind of test was carried out?

By thrush I mean a vaginal yeast infection which causes irritation, itchiness, pain and thick white discharge on the vagina. In extreme cases, it can cause cuts and lesions - although this would be rare.
