- Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.
- Well, to begin with you may feel a tingling itchy annoyance in your genital area. You will probably start to notice that the itchy areas begin to bump up and fill with a yellowish puss. The soars will form in little clusters and eventually break open and form raw feeling ulcers. The ulcers will then scab over and may even get sticky and rip open again. The full outbreak will last anywhere from 2-6 weeks. If someone has it for a while and takes notice of the symptoms they will notice certain areas other than your genitals will ache and hurt (arms, legs, etc) The aching is because the disease is bread in the nervous system so you feel it in you whole body. If you do find that you or anyone you know has genital herpes, the best form of treatment is Valtrax start treatment as soon as possible because the longer you wait the harder it is to treat. It is not a "cure" but it will prevent future outbreaks.
- well, it sometimes can be hard to determine. There is a thing called prodrone. This is tingling, burning or ichy feeling before the actual blister appear. I will usually get som kind of "weird" feeling down below just before I get an outbreak. When I was first diagnosed with hsv, i found a great web site that really helped. its ww.racoon.com. this is a message board where you can communicate with others.
