Could I Have HSV-2 Despite Negative Urine Test?

Here’s a draft for your query: In November, I experienced an episode of oral herpes. On December 4, I developed vaginal itching, a thick white discharge, and sores resembling vestibular papillomatosis. I consulted a doctor who diagnosed me with a yeast infection. After taking the prescribed treatment, my symptoms improved. However, I started experiencing vaginal burning and frequent urination. A urine test was conducted, but the results came back negative. I then consulted a gynecologist, who advised me to take a herpes test on December 28. The test results showed HSV IgG positive and IgM negative. Despite treatment, I still have sores that appear pearly, along with a burning sensation. Do I have HSV-2?

Your positive IgG test for herpes, suggests an encounter with the virus in the past, often related to HSV-2, which can pathogenize genitals. The symptoms you’re dealing with, like sores and burning sensations, could come from this infection or some other illness. You should talk to a gynecologist, who may have custom suggestions and point you toward prodrug therapy. Readings and more examinations could offer a better view of your case.

I am 26 years female and I'm having prolactation for 1 year now, I'm not pregnant nor breastfeeding a child and I experience pain during sex

Female | 26

You might have hyperprolactinemia. What happens is this condition leads to the body producing too much of a hormone called prolactin, causing lactation and pain during sex. There are several possible causes, including some medicines you could be on; thyroid problems, or even a little tumor in your brain somewhere. I would advise that you see a doctor as soon as possible.

I am a 40 year old woman who has strange smelling urine and is worried she may be pregnant, have an STD, UTI or other.

Female | 40

Strange-smelling urine can be caused by dehydration, consuming certain foods or drinks, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). If you are sexually active, it is also recommended to get regular screenings for STIs to prevent and detect infections early.

Did BHCG 35 days after intercourse and the result is 2. I have irregular menstrual cycle and never know when it will come. 25 days after last intercourse, I had 3-4 days light bleeding with brown discharge. Yesterday did Clearblue test (almost 2 months after sex), not first urine, and it came back negative. Is pregnancy definitely ruled out? I don't feel any symptoms except gingivitis.

Female | 28

A blood hCG test is a sensitive test that can detect pregnancy earlier than most urine pregnancy tests. A result of 2 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are still concerned.

Hello, I'm 29 years trying to conceive and currently on my first cycle of letrozol 5mg per day. I started taking it on day 3 -7 of my cycle.I'm told to have sex on day 12,14 and 16. My period usually 10-14 days long. I'm currently still on my menstrual cycle, how does this work? How am I to have sex on day 12?

Female | 29

Letrozole is a drug that can cause your body to ovulate. Therefore, it is going to be easier for you to become pregnant. It is common practice to start taking it on days 3-7 of your period. You may still have sex on the 12th day of your cycle even if your period is usually regular for a long time.

The day my period was due I did foreplay on that day, now my period is not coming after that.

Female | 18

Stress, alterations in routine, or hormonal imbalances can affect your cycle. At times, periods can be delayed for a few days. In the case of still not having a period for a week, then take a pregnancy test to make sure that it is not a pregnancy. However, the most important is to take care of yourself and be calm.

Having unprotected sex on 27 th January after 14 days of unprotected sex i got no period. Then taking the pregnancy kit test and found negative then 14 th February taking the norethindrone pill got period on 15 th February is there any chance of pregnancy?period flow is too heavy. Possibility of pregnancy after this.

Female | 19

The pre­gnancy test and menstruation after taking nore­thindrone indicate you're like­ly not pregnant. Heavy blee­ding occurs frequently with this pill due to hormone­s. Though unlikely, pregnancy remains possible­ if periods persist irregularly. Monitor upcoming cycle­s closely, as flow intensity varies case­-by-case following medication.

Gaining weight during periods

Female | 20

Your period brings a bit of we­ight gain. That's normal. You retain extra water. You fe­el bloated and heavie­r. Drink lots of water. Avoid salty foods. That helps reduce­ water retention. Do light e­xercises. Eat a balanced die­t. These steps can manage­ the temporary weight gain.
