Tingling...anyone else? - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Since Saturday I have had a tingling sensation down there. It is not when I urinate. The feelin is down in my genitle area, but only on one side. I am not sure what else this could be other than an STD? Has this happened to anyone else? I made an apt. to get this checked out, but now the tingling is starting to subside. Should I still go in and get tested, or do you think it is nothing. I don't have any bumps down there, that is why I am not sure if it is an std or not. Please, any advice would be helpful!!
Thank you!

ummmm this just the tingling.. it really sounds like herpes... u should go post this message under the herpes msg board..... because if u had received oral sex and he had a coldsore on one side... you will only tingle on that side... if he already had genital herpes it could have just infected one side... the only std that is tingling is herpes...go get a blood test done as soon as u can and cross your fingers. goodluck, xox

Since you ONLY have some "tingling" please don't automatically assume that's it herpes okay? If you have had unprotected sex that may cause room for some concern, but I wouldn't put off your Dr. Appointment even if the sensation is subsiding. Go get it checked out as soon as possible. The sooner you know the better you'll feel. Good luck!

I ddint mean to scazre her, but that is the only thing that I have heard of having a tingling effect.

I understand. But she never explained her sexual activity...whether she was a virgin or was in fact sexually active. Now if she has never been intimate with anyone I doubt it could be herpes. However, if she has been intimate with someone -unprotected- then there may be cause for concern. Just didn't want to jump to conclusions and scare her. However, I believe going to the Dr. is to her best benefit.
