Diagnosed With Herpes Complex 2, Severe Vaginal Irritation, Taking Valacyclovir. What Are The Symptoms For Uterus Cancer?
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 HCM. 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 refracter and bothering and easily treatable in some people. You should continue with valacyclovir.Outbreaks can alst even longer and it is hard to predict how long. Uterine cancer is usually seen in postmenopausal women, it goues with pelvic pain,prolonged and excessive vaginal bleeding. YOu should do testing for other STDs.
Wish you good health. Regards
