Q: Herpes? Uti?

asked by: Y24 on March 24th, 2007

I'm 24 amd about more than a month ago I had sex with my boyfriend,,we didn't use protection the first time and it was extremely painful and I was bleeding like if it was my first time though it wasn't. About two days later I developed what i thought was a yeast infection but due to the bleeding that wouldn't stop I decided to go see a doctor who diagnosed me with a UTI and put me on antibiotics. The problem is two days later I got a painful blister like sore on my left butt cheek and the UTI symptoms were not going away, so I went back to the doctor and he simply changed my anit biotics and said I had a bladder infection. I had really bad pelvic and leg pain on my left side and the symptoms just fully went away now after like six weeks. I am worried what I have is Herpes because of the blister and the pelvic pain. Is it def that or can it be a UTI?? please help

I'm sorry, but we just can't diagnose people over the internet. Some people may be able to lend you some advice, but I think most of us are going to keep advising you go to doctors until they know what happened to you.

Agreed. Your best bet is to just keep seeing the doctor. If you want a second opinion, see another doctor. They would be able to tell you what is going on far better than we would.

Yeah, going to the doctor it's definately the best solution. But what you're describing really doesn't sound like herpes. I'm no doctor so please don't take try to diagnose yourself with what i'm telling you. But awhile back I thought I had herpes so I went to planned parenthood to get checked and they just looked at me and could tell it was just a yeast infection. The doctors told me that any medical professional could look at you and tell if it was any sort of STD unless the symptoms are very strange, which is rare. I'm no professional or doctor or anything and I do recommend you keep going to the doctor but what you're describing doesn't sound at all like herpes. Especially since if it was herpes, it usually goes away in 4-10 days. 6 weeks is a pretty long time, I think you just had a uti.
