A member asked:

Can genitalherpes cause frequent urination and a strong urge to urinate? or could it maybe be mental anxiety causing it from fear of herpes infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety: Genital herpes doesn't typically cause any underlying urinary problems or pain with urination and could possibly be related to anxiety but if the lesions are not resolving I would suggest consultation with an infectious disease doctor
