I was diagnosed with genital HSV1 in April this year as well. And I’m also having my second OB. Like the previous person said, HSV1 reoccurring OB aren’t as often as HSV2 but you still can get them. I did not have an OB for 6months after my initial OB. The reason I had this one is because I was insanely stressed out this month. I definitely understand this sucks. Mine is not 100% as bad the second time around either but it’s annoying. I’m still mentally coping but since stress can trigger this, what works for me is taking deep breaths when I’m feeling overwhelmed. Also taking baths in epsom salt works ( relaxing and helps the sores ). Remembering the OB will heal but it feeds on stress. So try you best ( I know it’s hard) to calm down. Your body is doing the best it can to fight the virus off but you have to help it. Hope you have a speedy recovery 😊

Sex is ridiculously scary. I mean and having a vagina... goodness 🙄. Any small thing can irritate it and when you’re having, you already think the worst. THEN when you already have STI, you’re like great am I having an OB? 🙄 What are you feeling like ?? I’m sorry you’re sick 😞. This shit truly sucks. I’m currently icing my lesions. 😒 I am trying my best to accept what’s going on, do what I can and push forward. It’s hard though, especially with you being sick everyday. For myself, I keep looking to see if they’re gone and trying not to stress in the meantime. Smh. Thank you for explaining HPV

I was told the same thing, my OB look like skin tags but they gave me the tropical cream. Said it’s because my OB is so minor the chemical burn would be too much. For when your ex would get them, what did he use to get rid of them ? To your side note: so I had my last pap in April and it came back normal, but I had my first warts OB at the end of May. I was with the same guy. So I’m just slightly confused as to why my doctor said it was normal. Unless he was with someone else during that time and I got HPV that way. Its so much trying to grasp everything. I have been so stressed, I now have a herpes OB and my warts have increased. So I am trying to relax completely now 🙄😂 Thank you for helping me and answering my questions !

Lol those were my exact thoughts when the nurse was speaking. So thank you for not making me feel ridiculous. Question, do you happen to know if there at “ triggers “ to genital warts ? I am still having my OB from August, it’s not as bad as it was then but goodness can I have my vagina back please and thank you lol When you said you experienced mild discomfort during sex and after, this was while you had your warts OB right ? My pap came back negative in April, but I’m not sure if they were looking for the low risk strains. I’ll go back. How long did you have genital warts ? I hope I’m lucky like you and it goes away. I mean we’re already dealing with HSV 😩😞.

Hi everyone. I felt I should follow up from my “ 2 month OB” post. I have genital HSV1 & believed to having 5 OB since my initial one in April. So found out it’s not a herpes OB but I have HPV- genital warts as well. I always take pics of my “ OB” showed my doctor and she explained those were genital warts besides my initial OB in April. Now I’m trying to cope with this new diagnosis and man this shit ( excuse my language) is hard. Like can I catch a break seriously?? 2 months of itching, taking valtrex when it’s been genital warts. I just want my body to feel “ normal” again. OH ! Side note .. I have a horrible UTI ( more pain smh) - went to urgent care today. Was asked about previous issues and explained what I have. The nurse argued and was extremely rude saying there’s no way I have genital HSV1 and said she was putting HSV2 on my chart. It was extremely frustrating and it hurt my feelings to have been spoken to in the manner that she did. But I just let it go.

I have genital hsv1 and hpv - genital warts. Found out about the HSV in April of this year. Thought I was having 4 OB but last week found out it’s hpv genital warts edition. As you all know it’s pretty freaking hard to swallow this pill. I’m thinking the same thing about kids etc. But as someone said earlier and I’ve been doing research - disclose all info to your doctor and they’ll handle accordingly. I’ve had the “ I’m dirty” mindset too. Honestly sometimes I still do. I cried a lot last week. I was celibate for 3 years, now boom have all this to cope with It all completely sucks and it’s going to be a challenge but I keep reading it gets better😊

@beBravebeBOLD Wow really ?? That’s great and hopefully your next biopsy and blood work come back negative as well. Question, did you have all of the symptoms of an outbreak? What test did the other doctors perform when they advised you were positive? My blood work came back negative but she took a swap of the lesion and said to be positive.

Ive been changing my sleeping pattern. Have to work on adding the other two. But you’re so right, I’ve read so many articles stating anything can trigger it. I’m taking 3 a day 1500mg. I’m hoping there’s improvement after my cycle. Now for the oils.. my obs are usually on the inside of my labia, do you think I can still use the oils? Thank you for the reply !

Yes it sucks. Like awesome something else to look forward to monthly lol.. have to try and laugh through it. But thank you, that’s a good idea. We’re going to get through this

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with gential HSV-1 in April. Of course completely distraught. I had my first OB + bacterial vag and was on my cycle. It was the worst. Became depressed .. some days I still just cry. But I am trying to be strong. I’ve read so many stories and honestly this forum has helped me so much. I truly appreciate everyone. So getting to my title lol .. I got a Brazilian wax 8/11 and had sex that night as well. Maybe on the 13th I had those first symptoms. Began to take my medication Valacyclovir 1000mg until the 26th. That same week my cycle began. On 8/31 I noticed I was still itching. I’ve noticed I am itching even after the first 24-48 hrs but I read that means I’m healing. Anyways, I have been taking my medication since 8/31. It’s 9/19 and my OB is still healing. I’m not sure if my cycle triggered another OB since I was just healing from the initial one on 8/13. But this is incredibly frustrating. I came on here looking for other solutions and I saw Lysine is a good supplement. I purchased the Super Lysine + (quantum ) and started taking it on 9/17. My cycle is about to begin again and I am trying not to stress but I want this OB to go away ! Help, suggestions anything please !
