Hello. I went to my doctor today for vaginal irritation. She told me I had a yeast infection and a vaginal ulcer which she cultured and now I am waiting for the results on it. She said that it could possibly be herpes, but really didn't think so, but wanted to make sure. I am freaking out because I have been with my husband for 7 years and he is the ONLY one I've been with and he had one other partner before me. She told me that some people are just born carriers of it or that he had a cold sore during oral sex. Either way, I am still scared. I guess my question is what other things can cause the ulcer and should I be worried?
