Yes there is a blood test – not sure why your NP didn't suggest it already – the health department will do it…but I doubt it's necessary – I've never heard of those 2 things being symptoms of herpes at all!

It's also possible you're having more sex than you've had in the past – yes, that causes infections and soreness

Are you having anal sex? You could be bringing bacteria back to your vagina after anal sex?

Your doctor may diagnose genital herpes by examining you. he or she may ask you questions about your symptoms and your risk factors, which are things that make you more likely to get a disease.

If this is your first outbreak, your doctor may take a sample of tissue from the sore for testing. Testing can help the doctor be sure that you have herpes. You may also have a blood test.

you could try visiting your doctor again explaining the case the after which you will get some good advise.

STD’s or Sexually Transmitted Diseases are those highly contagious diseases which are spread via sexual contact i.e. oral sex, vaginal sex or anal sex.

It is also known as Venereal Diseases. Nowadays, you even find people using the term STI which stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection. it is important to note that STI only denotes an infection caused by the germs or virus where as STD stands for those infections which have grown to become diseases.

It is found that most individuals affected by STD’s are not the older individuals but the teenagers and young adults. An early diagnosis of an STD can help in curing it successfully. However, there are still a few types of diseases for which there has been no cure found like AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) where only the symptoms shown are treated but treatment for the disease as whole is not available. Another one is a type of gonococci, which becomes resistant to the medicines prescribed to cure it and the medicines have to be changed every time.

The symptoms to any STD are often asymptomatic for the initial weeks i.e. it does not show any visible signs of infection. in the later weeks the symptoms exhibited by men due to STD’s are different but, here is a list of certain common signals to look for.

In case if you experience excruciating pain while urinating, an abnormal discharge from the penis, cloudy urine often accompanied by fever or even crusting of the tip of the penis consult your doctor.

At times those infected by an STD even show symptoms like blisters, sores, warts, rashes etc around the genital areas. Consult your doctor as soon as possible in cases if you experience abnormal itching sensation, burning, swelling and pain in the genital area. You may even experience tenderness, pain and swelling in the scrotum.

The symptoms often come and go. do not mistake the ‘gone period’ as the disappearance of disease. It is essential that when you visit the doctor you give him a detailed description of the disease. This in turn would help him in diagnosing the disease properly.

Timely check-ups for STD’s would also prove beneficial. Never let the symptoms persist as they may turn even more serious as days pass.

Can an std take 12 years to show symptoms?

Syphillis, has an initial infection of a sore that goes away, and then is
asymptomatic for a number of years. But during this time it is slowly destroying the body. Al Capone went crazy and died from end stage syphillis. And everyone has heard of AIDS. Someone can be HIV positive and have no symptoms untill they get the AIDS.

I had a friend that was in a relationship 10 years prior to receiving the news that she had HIV. She thought that she just had pneumonia, she died within the year. it can happen but please take precautions to make sure that it doesn't happen to you.

Absolutely.
STD's like AIDS and Herpies can be hidden for years.
Get tested.

It could. best thing to do is just get checked if you are worried you have something.

Yea…it can pass through breast milk ya know?? That's how I got it.

Wondering if anyone wants to share their story of having a uterine fibroid bad enough to warrent surgery. what were your symptoms. Did you have mucus discharge and bleeding?

My fibroids aren't that bad (largest 6.5cm, 2 smaller ones at approx 2.5cm), and they're completely asymptomatic. having said that, the largest one is growing a little too fast, and in a little too many directions, and it's very close to the main artery. My doctor has said that if it grows much more it'll put pressure on the artery which may restrict the blood flow to and from the pelvis and legs, so while i've got no symptoms at the moment, i'll be having the uterine artery embolisation procedure pretty soon.
It's a little scary, especially because there are complications that can arise, and i'm only 25, and yet to have a family, but i think, the way you have to look at it is "is this condition sacrificing my way of life?" you need to weigh up the risks involved with surgery (taking into account the percentage of people who actually experience these) and the effect your fibroids are having or could have in everyday life.
Also, find a really good specialist. one whose opinion you truly value. Mine flatly said to me "i think we should deal with this now" and i trust him whole heartedly.

Good luck with whichever path you chose!
