Vaginal Issues! (need help!)

My name is Michelle. I'm 20 years old and I just had my son 3 months ago. I waited the whole six weeks to have sex, but when I did it felt like I had a paper cut inside of me. So we stopped having sex. Well last week I noticed a zit like bump on my vagina and as I was looking I saw a bubble that looked like a bruise right on the inside of my vagina on the left. On top of all this I started bleeding on the first and I'm not supposed to get my period until next week and I have been having horrible hot flashes for about two weeks. I went to my gynecologist on Monday and she scraped the bubble looking thing off and told me that I do have a cut inside. She also told me that I could have Herpes. She gave me Valtrex and Premarin to take until this coming Monday. Okay, Valtrex is for Herpes but Premarin is for women after they go through menopause. The reason I need help is I want to know how I could have all of a sudden gotten Herpes( if I have it) and why it didn't show up when I was tested for all of those things when I got pregnant. I also want to know why Premarin? I'm only 20 I can't be going through menopause. Can I? I know your probably thinking that I need to call my doctor and ask her but she has been out of town for two weeks and she is over booked and every time I call I am on hold for 30 min or more. I have an appointment next week but I need answers now.. I'm freaking out about this. Another question your probably wondering is why I don't talk to my mother about this.. well lets face it my mother and my fiance's mother can't keep anything to themselves. So please.. if you have any advice or any answers to my questions feel free to reply.


Thank You,


Michelle

Welcome to the board Michelle and congrats on your little one!


I am guessing that your doctor gave you the Premarin to increase your estrogen level until you begin ovulating again.
