Should I Undergo Herpes Test When Having Yeast Infection And Ulcer?
hi , I went to my baby doctors today due to a bad yeast infection . But when they started looking they found ulsers . They tested me for a yeast infection and it said I had one but stil tested me for herpies . Does this mean I have herpies if I have a yeast infection but still have ulsers on virginia ?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Both herpes and yeast can cause vaginitis with ulcers. Herpes ulcers are shallow, small ulcers present in groups and oozing with serous discharge. Yeast causes ulcers which are usually covered with a thick curdy white precipitate which when removed leads to a bleeding surface. They have tested you for all the possibilities of genital ulcerative diseases.
Thanks.
