Herpes :: Huge Results Increase In Short Time/PCR Urine?
Jul 3, 2014
I first tested hsv2+ at 2.23/hsv1+ at 3.93. Asymptomatic. I got tested again on ELISA test one week later and it was ........ hsv2+ at 3.39/hsv1+ at 4.18. That's a huge increase in only a week. If I do have hsv2, and it looks increasingly likely to be the case, I probably did not contract it from what brought me to the clinic in the first place, but rather have had it for some indeterminate time. Has anyone else seen such a big increase in such a short time? Is such a big swing indicative of problems with the test?
Also, the clinic said they do offer a PCR for hsv2, but that it was a urine test. Is that possible? All PCR tests I've read about require swab samples from a lesion, or use spinal fluid. Has anyone had a PCR urine test, or know about their accuracy?

After Prostate scraping and kidney stone removal 2 months ago, I am self cathing. Now 2 months, and I can only output 100-150ml on my own before cathing. Any remedies or advice on how to increase own flow in order to eliminate cathing? Note, I am 69 and problem started 5 months ago with retention that expanded bladder greatly.

I'm in the menopausal stage of my life and it sucks. Suppose I just want to know i'm not crazy by hearing from others in the same boat.
I just can't believe how much i've changed in such a short period of time. I use to be so social and always having visitors. Now I never want to go out, just getting to work is a mission. My friends rarely visit as I just don't encourage it anymore. They all think Its because I have a new man in my life but it's not even that as I just need to be on my own a lot of the time. Lucky for me my new man is so understanding and gives me the space I need. How long is this going to go on for. Would really like to be me again and will I turn back into the old me or is this it. Omg Im starting to realise why its called "The change of Life".

If you are having an acid issue (let's say a flare up) is it possible to get chills with that for a short time period?

At the end of December my blood work came back positive for hsv2. I haven't had symptoms or outbreaks. After doing research I found that result index levels above 1.1 are considered positive but below 3.0 are low risk and could be false. Mine was 1.2. I had a flu shot the same day as my blood work. Could this have given a false result?

I was recently tested negative for all STDs except herpes type 2 which I have had for years and so wasn't tested. I forgot to tell the doctor I am on Valtrex 500mg daily for suppressive antiviral treatment. Can this have an effect on the results of the tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, or hepatitis (hepatitis)?
Can I reply on the negative results or do I need retesting after coming off the herpes antiviral medication?

A month ago I was fine, no pain, no aches, nothing.
Then a small burning ache started in a precise spot on my right thigh.....then my breasts started to hurt.....then my elbow on my right arm..... Both sides of my ribs under my armpits.....my shin on my left leg and my inner thigh......then my whole left arm from wrist to armpit.
I feel like I've just been punched all over!
Blood Tests - normal
Urine test - normal
Stool sample - normal
ECG - normal
The pain isn't all the time, but in short sharp or short burning aches, it's stopping me from sleeping properly and its sometimes really scary when I get a sharp pain in my chest and left arm. It takes my breath away sometimes
I also get these strange "rushing" feelings in my chest/head when I lay down to sleep at night. Its almost like the rush you get when something makes you jump, but it lasts only a few seconds then it's gone. But I can have 3 or 4 of them in a row. But of course it's quite scary when you've no idea what they are.
Been in and out of doctors for weeks now and spent nearly £100 on prescriptions that haven't helped.
Been put on Amitriptyline 10mg for the pains but no change yet after a week, will keep taking for now though.
Im not convinced it's Fibromyalgia, but my doctor isn't the easiest to talk to.....
If anyone has any insight and can help me understand this all or maybe has any ideas please comment.
I'm 28, only other issue is PCOS but that doesn't give me much hassle.

Hello have posted on here a couple of days ago about waiting for results on my ct scan which I had on Thursday morning and was told about a week for results , but rang my doctors on Friday morning because I wanted to ask them about the best pain killers to take while waiting for results because I was having stinging pains which were coming and going but still needing to urinate a lot , but was told my ct scan was back and yes it's a kidney stone that near my kidney and bladder join but she said the symptoms that I was having on Friday sounds like it may have moved to my bladder now , but since then no more movement on same symptoms as needing to pass urine all the time. What I want to know from anyone on here that been through this can trying to pass the stone go on like this for a long time stopping and starting again.

went for std checks .I'm married but work away from home and I have been doubtful even though my relationship with my husband is fine . I guess I can't trust men especially that I spend long times away for work . pcr blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 were negative . but the urine test was positive for hsv 2 . is pcr more accurate or the urine in this case ? I have no symptoms . i recall having one spot years ago that was tiny and went away in few days . do I have hsv2 bases on these findings ?

On a doctor's visit back in December, it was discovered that i had microscopic blood in my urine. This went on for a few months, and increased with every doctor's check up. A urologist did an ultrasound of the kidney/bladder back in February, and all was normal. He also did cystoscopy which was normal too. He also did a test which shows my bladder holds sufficient amount of urine. The problem is, we never really figured out what the cause was, and recently i have had a new symptom (mucus tissue looking things in my urine). I am considering going back to a different urologist, but has anyone experienced something similar, or know what tissue looking bits in urine is?

I'm a 26 yr old male, I've been peeing cloudy for months now, not every time I pee, usually just once a day, and the rest seem normal. Lately it seems like it's more cloudy than before. Also at night i have to get up alot to pee, but its usually just a few drops each time. Just recently two things happened, on two different occasions. First, I was peeing and it seemed to be normal color, but at the last end it turned white/cloudy and right at the last drop or two it looked like white flaky particles in it. Since then I've been noticing the particles more often. Second thing, almost two weeks after noticing the particles I was peeing one night and it seemed to burn quite bad at the last few drops, and when I was done it didn't feel like a finished, felt like I still had more. I went to outpatients the other night, did a urine sample and the test come back negative for UTI, so they sent it to a lab, next morning they did blood work and another urine sample. Waiting for the results now. Dr thinks it could be a prostate infection (prostatitis) caused from chlamydia so he put me on Ciprofloxacin. I dont think its from chlamydia because the two girls I've had unprotected sex with both been tested recently and come back clean. He also said its possible it could be stones.

Not long ago, my baby and i had our first intercourse, him and me as virgins. Without any help of the magic c and lub, we tried. I am very tiny and he is huge and not to mention blessed as long, first time he went in was painful as anything he went halfway in, and then we stopped. The next day we agreed to try again with the same position, him being on top but still we cant go in. So, i helped him by sitting on it. First try, he went all in and hit something in there. I bled almost 300ml. Continuous blood flowing out of my vag down to my legs, this continued for 2 hours and lessened after a week. The bleeding stopped and we tried again. The finger trick worked, but after a while i started to bleed again, he still tried to go in me, then i had a massive bleeding again which lasted about 2 minutes. Bleeding stopped the same day, I am really worried and scared to try again.

About a week ago or more i had two spots on my penis that have continued to grow and seem to have converged into one massive red lump on the side of my penis, it hurts to touch and seem pretty hard. I am sure its not an std because i've only had safe sex with condoms but i am worried it wont go or will get worse. Do i need medical help or is there any ointment i can get to help it go away?

Today me and my bf were doing things, and he was fingering me pretty hard, and his hand slipped and scratched me pretty bad on accident, so we stopped. i ignored it for the rest of the day till earlier when i had to use the restroom and it hurt, so i wanted to see how bad it was so I grabbed a handheld mirror and looked, and saw a huge lump..
I have large inner labia, they're not TOO large, but they're large enough, and around the right side of my hood, there's a HUGE lump. It's about the size of..a pretty large pea.. or a small marble...maybe a centimeter diameter? and it's almost like.. rolling a nut around in a sack.. :$ but more limited movement, a lot smaller, and not a sack..
it's not like a zit or a pimple, it's like a knot, like.. a ball inside my inner labia. it doesn't hurt, and i don't know if it will hurt later. it wasn't there earlier today, so it grew within about 6-7 hours..
For the past year or so every once in awhile i've gotten a single little pimple on my inner labia, but they could be popped, and weren't on the inside, and i think they were from shaving or ingrown hairs.
i don't know what it is, and i'm quite terrified. I can't go to the gynecologist, even though i want to..
Do any of you have any idea what it might be..? i'm so terrified and disgusted right now.. i'm in tears, nothing like this has ever happened to me before. it actually hurts now, and even more when i touch on it.. and it's been about 5 minutes since i originally posted this. it's not an extreme pain, or enough to make me squirm, but it does hurt.

Hi. I’m a 43 years old, diagnosed with three small fibroids over a year ago. I had very little clotting at the time and my gyno placed me on Rx and Anemagen to decrease my flow. It worked so well that I missed a period. That was alarming to me and I went back to my doctor who changed my Rx to Necon. Now, my periods returned but I am experiencing extremely huge blood clots! After I went back to the gyno he prescribed me Feogen but in this menstrual cycle, the clot was about 3-4 inches in length and about 3 inches wide and very thick! What is wrong with me? Is this normal? I’m really concerned! Is there anybody who can help me?
