Resolved question:
This has been going on for 10 months...
It hurts so bad to have sex the two times I've had it in 10 months
I get sores like small ulcers
I have been tested for STDs three times and I'm STD free
The ulcers hurt so bad and itch
I keep getting diagnosed with BV but no where does it say BV causes sores
The BV creams have not been working
This is making me so insecure and I don't know what to do. I'm going to a third gynecologist in November.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
WIth such sores, herpes should be definitely ruled out.
Please have the sores swabbed at the earliest for herpes, it is best to have this done while the sores are active.
Do not self medicate until you know for sure that this is not herpes.
Get a vaginal swab done to rule out other infections like BV or candida.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards.
Did you read my question or just look at the picture? As I stated in te 10 months this has been happening I have been tested 3 times for STDs including a blood test.
I also stated that I have been diagnosed several times with BV but the creams prescribed weren't working. Sorry if my question confused you but I thought I addressed it.
I wish to clarify that I read your question thoroughly and also went through all the pictures.
They clearly show sores.
BV does NOT cause sores.
While you are having active sores, is the best time to get tested for herpes.
It might not show up on routine STD testing. I have seen such cases before, hence i am advising you tesing as soon as possible. A vaginal swab is also required.
Once you have the reports, you can get back to me and i will guide you further.
Feel free to discuss further,
Take care.
Wish you good health.
