Dear all, hope to find you well. I just wanted to ask you if some of you also experienced swollen lymph nodes in the groin area that kept being inflamed after 2 months from the first outbreak. I already checked them with ultrasounds twice + my primary doctor visited me yesterday telling me they have the average size, but they were not like that before my first OB. How long will it take for the glands to become normal again? Also with the outbreak I had my low abdomen swollen and very hard (since I have Herpes in the anal area) Thank you for your responses

Dear all, First thank you for this web page that really helps understand more. I've been diagnosed with HSV 2 two months ago. Unfortunately, the outbreak was really hard because of no treatment (sympthoms were misunderstood by my primary doc), and so they took almost 2 weeks to completely heal. The think that concerns me the most are my swollen lymph glands in the groin area. They swelled up together with the bumps in my bum, and were a little painful at the beginning. Now almost two months have passed, no second outbreaks but the glands are still swollen (even tho not as much as at the beginning), but just enough for me to feel them and drive me crazy. They don't hurt, the biggest one is 1.8cm wide (I've already been checked with ultrasounds and the ecographist said it was all ok), but I'm just so concerned and obsessed my major deseases that really cannot live normally. What should I do? Should I just wait for the lymph nodes to come back normal or make extra visits? My infecivologist already told me Herpes infection is pretty tough and it can take months for them do go back normal. But I wanna double check and ask for other opinions, there's such few informations about this topic on the internet. Thank you for your patiente and I really hope to get an answer from you Joe
