Genital Herpes Symptoms

Genital Herpes can come in varying degrees. Minor herpes may cause very few symptoms, while more serious cases case consistent and regular outbreaks of gentile warts. The warts will be targeted in the area where you were infected. During an outbreak, the area will get very itchy and irritated. It will turn red and swell. Small fluid-filled blisters will appear through out the infected area. The blisters will eventually break open becoming open sores. The sores will then scab over and heal without leaving a scar.

During this time, you may run a fever or display flu-like symptoms. You may get a headache, muscle-pain, or pain with going to the bathroom. These symptoms may begin two to three days prior to the actual outbreak. The total outbreak should not last more than two weeks, unless you immediately go into a secondary outbreak. Herpes can be spread regardless of whether or not you are having an outbreak. Depending on the location of the infection, it may not be protected by a condom. For this reason, it is vitally important to be completely honest with all new sexual partners about your condition.

People with Herpes generally have multiple outbreaks during a twelve-month period. Outbreaks can come at random or be triggered by something going on in your life. For example, an increased amount of stress, illness or friction. Outbreaks can also happen after surgery, chemotherapy, menstruation or simply by exhaustion. There are drugs available that can decrease the likelihood of an outbreak, but there is no cure for Herpes. You can only treat the symptoms. Taking care of your overall health will help reduce your stress and exhaustion, and subsequently reduce your potential outbreaks.

Because herpes is spread through skin to skin contact, it is possible to get a herpes infection on or around your penis, vagina, anus, or mouth. It is very important to not only have protected sex every time, regardless of the form of sex, it is important to know your partner.
