Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / October 2006Do I have Herpes
Any advice much appreciated....as you can guess am worried. I have have a tingling in the end of my penis....it started the day after. At the same time I have had bad gut ache. This has gone on for 6 days. No blisters yet, but have a couple of small red marks of the end of shaft. The feeling is not constant, it comes and goes. Its like an acid type of feeling. No pain when passing water. Does this sound like a typical outbreak? rob, Make an appointment to see your doctor pronto. It may or may not be herpes, and a healthcare professional will determine that. I do have some simple questions though: is this the first time you experienced this? Have you been intimate prior to these symptoms? Have you ever been tested for herpes type 1 or 2? Again, make seeing a doctor top priority. > Any advice much appreciated....as you can guess am worried. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Does this sound like a typical outbreak?

Hi Rob, There really are no typical first outbreaks with herpes. Some people have awful outbreaks. Some don't have any outbreaks. And then there are others who experience a full range of variences. The only way to determine if you have herpes is to see a doctor. There is not a single one of us here who can tell you if you have it or not. See a doctor pronto. Decide about running blood work. It may be best to wait about three or four months to run the blood work. But if you get in to see a doctor quickly, he can run a culture on the red marks, if there is anything to culture. But it has to be done as soon as possible. If you wait too long, the culture won't be viable. ar > First time....does this sound like a typical first outbreak? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>> >>> Does this sound like a typical outbreak? Rob, Just like everyone else has said....go see your doctor. Not knowing what you have is tough...and you definitely want to get help and support, so go make an appt. Like AR said, no outbreak is typical...so no one could know what you have. If you find out that you do have herpes, it's not the end of the world. There are lots of nice people here that can be a great source of support and information for you. :) Keep your chin up, Michelle > First time....does this sound like a typical first outbreak? > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >> > >> Does this sound like a typical outbreak? rob767 ~ It's Monday morning. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment to see your doctor. Tell he/she that you'd like to have some type specific herpes antibody testing done so that you can find out once and for all what your status is. Obviously you are concerned or you would not have posted this in the alt.support.herpes newsgroup.

Thank you to everyone for your advice. I have a Doctors appointment tommorrow and will let you know how it goes. On my side things haven't got any worse, infact things are getting better. I dont have the same amount of tingling, though my guts still hurt. I have general redness in the penis area , but no blisters, Its a week tonight since my encounter.... Is it likely if i had Herpes that things could appear to be imroving so quickly, or is it normal for the pain to go away just before the blisters appear? How big are typical blisters, are they pin prick size or generally bigger? Thanks again guys....talking about this is a huge help. >rob767 ~ > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> Does this sound like a typical outbreak? Hi Rob, I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment. But again, there is nothing typical about herpes. I cannot tell you if it is typical for the pain to go away so quickly without blisters. I cannot tell you what the typical size of a blister is. We all experience our herpes differently. Sorry we can't be of more help. ar > Thank you to everyone for your advice.
