I was recently diagnosed with herpes complex 2, I have severe vaginal irritation that will not go away its like an open wound. I have been taking Valacyclovir for 2 and a half months. Is an outbreak known to last this long? I m beginning to think this is something else. What are the symptons for uterus cancer?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Cancer is the last thing to think of and these are not sign of any female cancer. This is probably herpes and herpes infections are usually refracted and bothering and easily treatable in some people. You should continue with val acyclovir. Outbreaks can last even longer, and it is hard to predict how long. Uterine cancer is usually seen in postmenopausal women, it goes with pelvic pain, prolonged and excessive vaginal bleeding. You should do testing for other STDs. Wish you good health. Regards
