writes:I went to the ER twice because i was having a burning sensation around what felt like my clitoris area. It was worse when i urinated,i had a frequent urge to urinate even when i didn't have to. I even didnt make it to the toilet once. Now im incontinent. The first time/ doctor told me my urine was clean and they found no UTI. She asked if i played sports and was there any discharge once i insinuated maybe it was something like a STI. After i pressed her for an answer she yelled yeast infection and asked if i wanted creme and ended up giving me a antibiotic anyway also saying i needed a family Dr. That didnt help so i went back and got tested for STIs but they gave me what they could without the results and that didnt help either. They never told me the results but i didnt get tested for herpes. This lasted for maybe several months. Could it be herpes? Does it sound like herpes? I didnt have any sores that i saw or that they saw.I used yeast infection creme and it didnt help either.

Wash the area with soap and water regularly and dry well. Why are you suspecting an STI? Have you had casual sex lately? If all fail see a dermatologist. Maybe your urine is too acidic.
TBH I don't think it is herpes because you don't seem to have the symptoms. Take care. I hope you get well soon.

And I agree with HoneyPie. We can't diagnose you here. And the ER is not the right place to have it treated. You need to go to a family doctor where you can have proper follow up to discuss test results and treatment options, especially if initial treatment was ineffective.

We can not diagnose, you need a doctor for this. We can hopefully guide you a little bit.
Herpes? gynaecology symptoms are not always down to STD's and can be caused by a number of issues. Some health issues mimic STD'S and need investigating properly.
You obviously need to be checked by a Gynaecologist Doctor, don't ignore your symptoms. Some symptoms mimic other problems. I think I responded to your first post some time ago. If you have now started with incontinence, it is very important that you have to be thoroughly checked out.
Go see a GYNOLOGICAL DOCTOR they will decide if you have herpes or something else that can be treated or nothing.
Good Luck, go see the Doctor at least to put your mind at rest.

 Go see your family doctor, the ER is NOT for things like STDs. A sexually transmitted disease is NOT - I will repeat NOT an emergency! Stop wasting their time.
If you can not afford a family doctor visit or don't HAVE a family doctor find the nearest Planned Parenthood or google "where to get std tested for free" in your state, city.
We CAN NOT diagnose you.
"The early stages of herpes infection are associated with lower urinary tract symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. "
So it IS a possibility, but you NEED to get tested properly and NOT at the ER.
