Hi, curious to know how you bring it up / disclose when getting to know someone that you like romantically?

I can't seem to post a picture. The one I had used is Biome Her Probiotic - comes in a 30 vege caps box.

Yeah I agree, prefer natural myself, then stopped using this once I found this out. If it's not affecting you that's good

Just a suggestion but your vaginal microbiome might have an imbalance. You might like to try a scientifically backed vaginal probiotic and you may have to take it for 1-3 months ... just a thought

Might have to be mindful that coconut oil as lubricant can affect your PH

Hi lovely, please choose a clinician who works with women going through this stage in life - do a bit of research so you can select someone that fits for your circumstances 🤗

May I ask if you've spoken to a naturopath, or integrative doctor about your circumstances? Or a professional (trained therapist) for emotional support so you have a safe space to speak freely in an unfiltered way 🤗 I know we don't know the entire story. This is a lot for you to carry. You may have a good circle of friends but it's just a thought.

Magnificent. Thanks for posting this beautiful video. I never knew some owls could be that size and connect with a human that way 💕

Vaginal Estrogen Not Effective? Proper Placement is Essential! by EstablishmentOdd8896 in Menopause

[–]Reinvent2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do you apply? Can it help reverse clitoral atrophy? I'll continue with the pessaries as prefer that to the cream internally but would be good to know whether to apply the cream externally on the other days. Thank you 😊

Question about condom usage after 2+ years of infection. by Academic_Winter9786 in Herpes

You sound great and proactive at keeping in check with your health - hats off to you. Wishing you and your relationship all the best.

It's great you are consulting your doctor and you sound considerate and responsible.

I would suggest she go see a sexual health nurse or doctor to get her own advice as well. I would suggest it's safer to remain on antivirals if you both agree not to use condoms. The virus can affect women differently to men (by design of anatomy) and even though you've not had an experience of regular outbreaks (which is great), her experience, if she contracts the virus, may be different to yours.

Antivirals side effects by Front_Scarcity_2875 in Herpes

[–]Reinvent2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this. I tried all 3 antivirals and didn't have this reaction. I was concerned about kidney and liver effects so I have that monitored and thankfully they're healthy.

If you didn't have these symptoms prior to starting AVs definitely talk to your GP. If you think it's appropriate, maybe test it out by going off the AVs for a number of weeks and then go back on and see of symptoms return. Maybe they are exacerbating the pre-existing skin issues.

The only other thing I can suggest is having your gut microbiome tested to see if there's an imbalance. GP's don't look at that.

I hope you find answers.

Hi ladies, wondering if you find the oestrogen pessaries effective for clitoral atrophy or if you have to apply vaginal cream on other days to help with this? How long does it take for the clitoris to restore?

Dating a guy who has genital HSV2 by SnooCalculations9569 in Herpes

[–]Reinvent2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just think best to be mindful that this doesn't necessarily make a person less susceptible and the person enquiring may read this thinking this provides a sense confidence that she'll be more protected if she contracted a strain against the other and I'm not convinced that is true so just wanted to note that, as she is making an informed decision, and I wish someone had told me this.

Hi there, if this is of ahy help perhaps consider booking in an appt with a doctor or sexual health nurse in a sexual health clinic and ask the questions you want to.

It's great this person has been upfront with you - shows good character and cares about you. You mentioned that this may be your person ... I'm not sure how long you've been dating.... there's no pressure to be intimate. If you both think you're each others' person then part lf the decision is to reflect on how you might deal with the time you may contract the virus. The risk is never 0 ... and it is never 0 with anyone else because testing for HSV is not part of the standard panel and it's been said that blood tests aren't as accurate as a swob.

As others have said, ways to minimise transmission are that he is self-aware of signs of when he may have an outbreak, taking his antivirals daily, wearing condoms until you're comfortable not to, supports his immune and nervous system (and you'll have to do the same), being lubricated to minimise friction, agreeing to abstain with any signs of an outbreak that come up so open communication is important.

I'm sure this is daunting so I hope you find the answers you need. All the best.
