Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Happy to know that the frequency of recurrence had come down.
Some of the symptoms like smell in urine and even bloated stomach not appeared to be due to Prodromal symptoms of Herpes.
Anyhow you can take course of suppressive therapy either with Aciclovir or valciclovir in low dose as per your physician's guidance for 6-12 months. That will reduce the frequency of recurrence and prodromes.
Get well soon.
