i've known i have herpes for about 4 months now. i don't have any exterior outbreak now. can herpes cause urgency, frequency, burning with urination?

Question

Burning with urination from herpes outbreak?

Answer 1

Usually not: If there are active herpes lesions around the urethra (where urine comes out) then that might cause urinary urgency. But that's unusual. Herpes lesions in the vagina will sting if urine passes over them, but they will also hurt when wiping, etc. A more likely explanation of these symptoms is a bacterial bladder infection.

Answer 2

UTI: This could be a urinary tract infection. See your doctor right away.

Answer 3

UTI: See your doctor or a walk-in clinic. A simple urinalysis will give you the answer almost immediately. If urine tests don't show any signs of infection, see your doctor, this may be a sign of an overactive bladder.

Answer 4

Antiviral medicine: If you have frequent herpes outbreaks, you may be started on antiviral medication early in pregnancy to suppress them. If you don't get outbreaks often, make sure to tell your doctor you have a history of herpes. You will be placed on treatment at 36 weeks to prevent an outbreak around the time of labor. Active herpes during labor requires a c-section to avoid giving the baby an infection.

Answer 5

Antiviral medication: No treatment is needed unless you have an outbreak. During an outbreak your doctor can prescribe Acyclovir or valacyclovir (valtrex). At 36 weeks most doctors will start you on prophylactic treatment with daily medication to prevent an outbreak or viral shedding during delivery. If you have an outbreak at the time of a delivery a C-section will be needed.

Answer 6

Anti-herpes medicati: An outbreak in pregnancy will usually be treated the same as in the non-pregnant patient. Your doctor may also decide to put you on daily treatment beginning one month before delivery to prevent an outbreak. Your doctor will also decide the best delivery route for you.

Answer 7

Anti-herpes meds: During the last month of your pregnancy your obstetrician will place you on anti-herpes medication to reduce the risk of a herpes outbreak that could infect your baby during birth. They will do weekly herpes cultures of the vagina to insure that herpes is not being shed. Should you have an outbreak or your culture is positive, then you will probably undergo a cesarean section.

Answer 8

Anti-herpes medicati: If you have a herpes outbreak while pregnant you can take an anti herpes medication. If you have an active outbreak while in labor you will need a c-section. Women who have had recent herpes outbreaks are given anti herpes medication after 36 weeks to try to prevent an outbreak in labor.

Answer 9

Anti-herpes meds: We usually start medications to suppress herpes at about 36 weeks. This decreases the chance you have an outbreak around the time of delivery. Be sure to watch for signs or symptoms of an outbreak during pregnancy. If you have active herpes when you go into labor, you may need a cesarean to make sure your baby doesn't get herpes.

Answer 10

Antiviral medication: Treatment during pregnancy is the same as in non pregnant. Most doctors prescribe antiviral medication prophylactically for patients with a history of herpes or if their sexual partner has a history of herpes. This treatment has decreased the number of cesareans for herpes.

Answer 11

Type 1 more common: Cold sores on or near the lips are due to recurrence of herpes type 1 or 2. Herpes viruses, after the initial infection, live in a person's nerves and travel down the nerves to the surface to form blisters that break open, spreading more virus. Type 1 is more common on the lips, and type 2 more common on the genitals. With people engaging in oral sex, either type can be in one or both locations.

Answer 12

Hsv-1. Usually: Fever blisters are usually caused by hsv-1, but they can be caused by hsv-2.

Answer 13

Infection: You should see a doctor as it sounds like you have an infection and should be treated before you spread it. Get checked.

Answer 14

Get checked: Get checked. If you're 21 year old male, this is more likely to be due to a sexually transmitted disease (gonorrhea or chlamydia) than a uti.

Answer 15

Deep sleeper: 1% of adults may do this, you may have some pelvic muscle damage after childbirth, try keegle exercises and see a female urologist.
