I think I have a coldsore (aka Herpes in mouth)

[Doc Holliday]

Do you think these type of "medical" threads/posts should be banned?

Yes 

[Xtro]

You appear to be referring to genital herpes (a condition) as HSV2 (a virus name)?

HSV1 shedding from cold sores does not produce HSV2 related genital herpes it produces HSV1 genital herpes?

Can I catch herpes again on another part of my body? Can my partner catch herpes back off me – on another place?

It is rare for people to re-catch a virus that they already have for a second time – even on a different part of the body. Their immune system defends them against this.........

They refer to this study - External Link/Members Only

I'm not exactly a "virus geek" but I love to learn about such things. The whole business of this virus residing in the nerves and remaining dorment, as you mentioned earlier, is fascinating. I wonder too about the interaction of this virus with our body's fascia. Not much mention on fascia in the medical stuff I read.

No not at all, if people want to seek medical advice on a punting forum that's their choice. I am just giving my opinion.

Your words of warning are appreciated dm.   

FYI, everytime I have an ache or pain, I end up looking things up online and the results are normally everything from, "Don't worry, it's only a muscle ache" to "Go straight to A&E, you have a flesh-eating virus!" and everything in between.   

Yes 

Stick around Doc, we might educate you...

Apologies just seen this thread has been active. Each to their own with regards to medical advice but in my experience, qualified as a doctor in 1999, including a 6 month stint during my training at the Royal London Hospital GUM clinic, it is not possible to pass cold sores HSV-1 to your own genitals HSV-2. The main reason for this is because your body builds antibodies and reinfection at another site just doesn't happen. Theoretically if you had 1 million people do this there may be some outliers, but I have never seen it occur. The virus itself is incredibly weak, hence it is only spread on direct contact. Think about how many millions of people have cold sores, if this method of transmission was possible then HSV-2 would be far more prevalent. Feel free to check with the a Dr on your next visit to a clinic but that is my opinion for what its worth. Also as far as "purporting to be a doctor" I was just offering some advice on a topic I know a lot about.

Thanks for the clarification  .

I didn't mean to necessarily doubt you (and be careful you don't give so much away so as to out yourself  ) but we did have a chap on here a while ago who often spoke utter bollocks on medical matters, but assured us all he was a doctor. He ended up pretty well self destructing on here, which was quite amusing to watch 

[winkywanky]

...not really, no religion, no politics, no race, what the fuck is left to talk about for a bunch of old fuckers who aren't back punting yet?

Yes 

...and don't you start Doc! 

[asiansurfer]

The issue I have, as with all medical related post, is for one you are offering advice on an undiagnosed condition, the OP THINKS he has a coldsore when in fact it may not be. Surely for any doctor the first thing would be to establish exactly what the patient is suffering from before making comments.

Secondly you may well be a fully qualified doctor, however you could just as easily not be. If I want medical advice I go to someone I know is qualified to give that advice, that would also be someone who I know the name of should the advice be wrong.

Totally understand. I was responding to another post further down the line about how Cold Sores / Herpes are passed on. Il leave any  medical stuff out of my posts from here on in! Was just trying to be helpful. Will stick to the mainstream stuff from here on in!

Before you do refrain any chance you could shed light on my query?

You appear to be referring to genital herpes (a condition) as HSV2 (a virus name)?

HSV1 shedding from cold sores does not produce HSV2 related genital herpes it produces HSV1 genital herpes?

Also you describe HSV1 as a weak virus? Can you clarify how a highly contagious virus which infects the majority of the world's population (mostly as children) is weak?

Perhaps they should be put in their own folder with a banner saying 'seek professional medical advice instead of the totally unqualified opinions of anonymous posters'

I work in health care and have seen the results of people ignoring serious conditions too many times - men with testicular cancer, women with fungating breast cancer, the list is extensive.

I'm not suggesting a visit to the GP for every minor ailment like a cold sore, but if you're worried enough to ask on here then a bit of reassurance won't go amiss.

The OP doesn't necessarily have access to free health care but most of us on here do. It's crazy not to use it.

[Cceon]

cold sores and genital herpes are basically the same thing. It's disgusting and gross.

And I totally don't buy this crap that 70% of the adult pop have it, I've only known of 3 people in my whole life who had it (coldsores) and I'm no spring chicken, so don't buy into this " oh we all have it so just bang away as normal".

NO, BS to that, take extreme care guys. No point in complicating your life even more , is it?

Disgusting and gross? What are you, a bloody teenager? 

Why don't you spend a few minutes Googling and you'll find the majority of adults do indeed carry the herpes virus. In some people it never rears its head their whole lives, in others it can recur and be troublesome.

And who said 'bang away as normal'? Duh.

This is actually a very good point.   

At the moment, I can view a medical type topic on UKP and probably end up poisoning myself because I wanted to maintain an erection when I visit an SP, yet I get a WARNING when I'm about to read about a punter sucking a tranny off!

Genital herpes? It’s not what you think.  It is misunderstood. But having it is normal.  We help people to get the facts straight.

Genital herpes: caused by a herpes simplex virus (type 1 or type 2) – nearly everyone (70%) will catch at least one type, sooner or later.
Most don’t know they have it: 1 in 3 will have symptoms and get diagnosed. The others have mild symptoms and so they are unlikely to be diagnosed – or they have no symptoms at all.

Your turn...   

[winkywanky]

As opposed to you, you just speak utter bollocks!

And so what? 

How about if seeing a Tranny is what maintains your erection, does that means she's poisonous? Discuss.

As the thread went on it seemed to be accepted that the OP did have a coldsore, however, don't let me put you off posting, some may value your input, like I said before I am only stating my opinion.

As yandex said some serious medical conditions can go unnoticed until it is too late and incorrect advice can be worthless. A heart attack is a classic example, due to the variety and severity of symptoms, they can go totally unrecognised, then before you know it a cardiac arrest and bye bye.

You have a very simple choice on this forum, if you don't like the subject matter then don't open and read the thread, that goes for any medical or TV threads. You should also be aware that homophobic post will lead to a ban.

[Xtro]

And so what? 

That's the best part.... I look forward to your next TS review.   

How about if seeing a Tranny is what maintains your erection, does that means she's poisonous? Discuss.

Start a new thread; but in the meantime, I'm off to the TS porn thread...... I just can't help myself!

Please accept my apologies regarding my previous comments.
I am only guilty of indulging in the act mentioned when I met Ladyboy Lisa as I mentioned on a previous review.

Re-reading my "extreme" example could be taken as offensive if someone reading it didn't know me and my previous ventures.

Once again, I apologise.

Apart from the utter nonsense quoted above, as Davie says you have no idea as to the credentials of who is giving advice. These threads should in themselves carry a health warning. I would be happy to see the back of them. There are plenty of excellent online and reputable resources to read. Why then come on here and ask a question?

[scutty brown]

Started get a weird itch next to my nose above my mouth. It escalated quickly to a large red mark which doesn’t feel like a normal acne spot.

Would you restrict your punting if you had such a thing?

Could I have picked it up from a Thai girl I saw back in March ?

This is incredibly bad timing as punting has just opened up again in my country and I was bursting to go see my regular.

Sounds to me like friction burns due to too much clit licking on a stubbly cunt

[daviemac]

Please accept my apologies regarding my previous comments.

No probs.

The same reason we might as individuals ask a friend or 2 before we "commit" to taking on the possible seriounessness of the situation.
Call it a transition of the mind where one might psych themselves up to the reality of the situation.

True, but it's fun shooting those posts down in flames, and if we didn't have any medical threads at all, what are a bunch of cantankerous old gits going to talk about? Ceratinly not religion, race or poltics any more. Oh, did I mention that before?   

Also, how are you going to occupy yourself, if not being on here and entertaining us?

I always think of Off-Topic as being like a chat down the pub.

Most of it's bollocks, but owing to the nature of the internet, it's actually a really big pub, and there's normally someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about.

From the NHS website:

You can get genital herpes:

- from skin-to-skin contact with the infected area (including vaginal, anal and oral sex)
when there are no visible sores or blisters
- if a cold sore touches your genitals
- by transferring the infection on fingers from someone else to your genitals
- by sharing sex toys with someone who has herpes

I am comforted by Asiansurfer’s advice about giving oneself genital herpes, from your own oral herpes, thanks.  However, there does seem to be  still a risk of passing it to someone else via hands. So I’m going to respectfully say I think the comment that it can only be transmitted membrane to membrane isn’t backed up by other, informed sources.

If there is one thing we have learned from CV-19, it’s how much we touch our faces, and how far particles spread from this method. If I feel the tingle of a coldsore (I’ve had them most of my life I think, although not had a flare-up for many years now), it’s definitely no licky pokey sucky fuck until things are long gone.

I agree and like having a few beers with the lads,  serious conversations can often develop into just having a laugh.

These chats can be helpful learning about other peoples experiences, and could actually encourage you to seek proper medical advice.....Hopefully anyone with common sense would do that,  and that always ends up as the best advice on here.

Having said that...... Where else but on this site or having a laugh down the pub, would the conversation go from cold sores to anal sex with your grannie

And in any case,  rightly or wrongly, we all wait with anticipation for the next learned offering from Doc Holiday, who has successfully morphed from being an inebriated Wild West hero into a UKpunting icon.

You can put your trousers back on now. I have never in 40 years seen anyone with such a degree of atrophy. Surgery will not resolve your problem.

You may though wish to consult Dr Asiansurfer for a second opinion? Let's hope he knows more about penile implants than he does Herpes.

That's not what I heard...

[aronteo]

I am not a doctor (well, actually I am, but a PhD not an MD), so the caveat here is that the following is not intended as medical advice, but just a suggestion to the OP:

I have been suffering from cold sores since I was a teenager; provided that you have a cold sore, in my personal experience the following are the most effective remedies:

a) Get cold sore patches from the pharmacy: in my experience more effective than acyclovir creams;

b) When I get a cold sore I usually take lysine: lysine is an amino acid capable of starving the herpes simplex virus. There are some studies which seem to corroborate its effectiveness in treating herpes simplex. I can attest that it does work, but it could also be a placebo effect of course...

You don't quote a source and you're spouting off " facts ", so thanks but no thanks, I don't take people like you seriously and You can still get herpes even if your partner is not showing symptoms so I still don't buy this crap that 70% of the adult pop have it,.
