Running Scared

[apron]

Hi I had unprotected sex with my husband who has hsv2. He is not on any medication for it.  He did not have an outbreak at the time.  The sex was a little painful and my vagina was irritated after but that happens alot with me. 5 days later I felt a little uncomfortable down there slight itch but for just a moment or two that day.  I thought I was getting yeast infection so I got some monistat. I went to the dr. She said I did not have a yeast infection she thought it was bacteria. She gave me a script for it.  All the while I kept feeling this pressure type of pain but no itching, no burning or any other symptons for hsv2.  I went back to the doctor she said she did see bump on the inside of the vagina lips.  When she touch it was irritated.  She said It did not look like herpes because herpes is usually associated with blisters.  She put me on another script and told me if it did not go down they would have to cut it and let the blood out.  I told her about my husband but she never did the Hsv test.  I am just afraid it is not what she said and it is Hsv.  Can the single bump be Hsv even though it is not a blister? Can it be Hsv without most of the signs?  I have been feeling this pain for 3 weeks did not know if I should go get a second opinion.  I am just scared.

UPDATE I just wanted to say thank you so much for replying to me.  At the time I was freakin out and your words were encouraging.  It ended up being a cist that had to be drained.  My husband has chosen not to take any medication.  I will continue to talk to him about it.  Thanks sooooooo much for taking your time to volunteer on the forum. It really meant a lot to me.

It doesn't sound like Herpes to me, a Herpes lesion would not be blood filled it would present as more of a clusters of fluid filled blisters,and not straight away either,your symptoms are not typical of Herpes at all,it does seem something of a bacterial infection,wait and see if the meds the Doctor gave you help with this,the fact that you felt uncomfortable straight after sex would suggest to me that whatever is going on was already there and the sex irritated it more,I would be surprised if it turned out to be Herpes.
It might be an idea for your husband to be on Suppressive Therapy to reduce the risk of his HSV2 being transmitted to you.
