Vaginal Sores, Burning Sensation When Touched. Had Intercourse. Recurring Yeast Infection. Herpes?
What can cause vaginal sores other than herpes?
The sores don't bother me but when the doctor pokes at them with a q tip, they create an intense burning sensation- they don't hurt per say but is very bothersome.
Some background info:
About a month and a half ago, my partner and I engaged in pretty rough/dry intercourse
Soon after I has a UTI (I took a test to confirm)
When I peed, I felt a very uncomfortable vague/burning sensation but only after I already urinated (not during)
The UTI seemed to go away on its own as well as urination problems.
I also have had a reoccurring yeast infection- but I always have them- ever since I was little
A month and a half later, I went to to PP and she said she saw little sores that looked like they were healing.
She said she can't tell if they are herpes or an infected cut.
I know it could possibly b herpes and I am waiting for results, but I am wondering if there is merit to her saying its possibly a cut?
Could a vaginal fissure turn into a sore over time if untreated and in combination with yeast infection and UTI??

Hello.
Yes, the doctor could be suspecting herpes due to the presence of sores. Genital sores are usually related to herpes or HPV (human papillomavirus).
Rough sexual intercourse could lead to abrasions and cuts which are unhealthy but can at times during the healing process resemble the presentation of other sexually transmitted infections, but this is rarely confused with other infections.
It is thus best to get tested and accordingly get treated. The scenario put forward by you is extremely rare, although it is possible.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
