In the past year I have continual vaginal burning that lasts for weeks
and sometimes months. How could I control the burning? What
do you suggest I do?
When HSV
becomes active the virus travels through the nerve pathways. Depending
on the pathway the virus travels depends on the location of a
herpes
outbreak. The burning feeling could be caused by HSV coming to the
surface of the skin. When HSV surfaces the skin a visual herpes
outbreak
may not occur. When HSV surfaces the skin we refer to that as shedding.
During shedding herpes is more likely to spread to a partner.
The
burning feeling could be very uncomfortable. Living healthy is really
the best way to help weaken HSV. Don’t eat too many greasy foods, drink
water
rather than sugar drinks, exercising, don’t smoke, avoid stress and
think positive. Doing those things will strengthen the immune system and
decrease the chance of experiencing symptoms. You may also want to ask
your doctor about Acyclovir or Famvir.

I am female, just been diagnose with herpes and I have sores around my
vagina. It's the time of the month for me now, I'm allergic to sanitary
pads and I'm too sore to use a tampon. Please advice on what I should
do.
Herpes
sores could be annoying and painful in some cases. On the positive side
HSV-1 usually doesn't cause as many genital herpes outbreak as genital HSV-2.
A female could use menstrual cup for her period. A menstrual cup is
harder to find than a tampon. That's about all I can think of.
If
see a doctor who has knowledge about STD's I would suggest asking if
there is anything else you can use. Some people may not want to use a
menstrual cup.
