Could I Have HSV-2 Despite Negative Urine Test?
Patient's Query
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?
Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel
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.
