What else does it effect?

Will it make the entrance of your vagina hurt during intercourse? It feels kinda closed up and hurts a lot in the begginning

Hi @Sunflowergirl!

(FYI, I always feel a bit out of place responding to these specific questions that involve vaginas since I don't have one, but I'll do my best!) 🙂  

I've heard that especially toward the beginning of getting herpes (within the first 6 months or so), you can be a whole lot more tender down there. Any other women reading this have a similar experience?

How long have you had herpes? And do you get outbreaks around the entrance to your vagina or do you get them in a different area from where it hurts during intercourse?

Its okay you've seen lots of post so its possible you couldve seen someone else with the problem. No I don't get them towards the entrance more closer to beside but not close enought to where it would effect it like this. Its not uncomfortable its almost unbearable. I just got diagnosed Monday but I think I had a small out break 2 months ago I started dating my boyfriend and having sex with him the end of march and this out break started 2 and half weeks ago and it has been absolute hell I'm still in so much pain
