Recently diagnosed with hsv 2 and wonder if anyone's had the same experience
So I was recently diagnosed but my first outbreak was around 5 months ago, I didnt get a blister i just had minor pain peeing and the flow was really off and it was hard to completely empty my bladder. It went away almost completely a little after a month
Now 4 months later last month I get a blister on my shaft and it tests for herpes 2. And the urinary symptoms are back as well but not as bad as the first time. The blister took maybe 3 weeks to heal but my doctor was giving me different steroid creams before diagnosis which definitely didn't help.
Has any men in here with herpes 2 been through this, where the biggest problem was peeing problems. I started taking valacyclovir but I feel its not helping much because thats more helpful at the beginning. But I do plan on taking a dose daily from now on I just need to tell my doctor
Currently its been over a month with peeing being annoying and though its not terrible im hoping this will just go away again and the daily valacyclovir will help it from being bad again or taking so long to go away in the future
