Symptoms of herpes? Common symptoms of genital herpes are a cluster of about 3-4 to 5-6 small blisters on the genitals, with some redness at the base. Clinically, it was found in the STD Hospital that the blisters usually rupture into small numb surfaces or shallow ulcers after a few days, causing pain and discomfort. They heal quickly without treatment and leave no scars. If herpes occurs at the urethral opening, the erosion of the blisters can cause the patient to feel pain when urinating, increase the frequency of urination, and have secretions at the urethral opening. If it occurs in the vagina or cervix, vaginal discharge will increase. The blister fluid and erosion secretions contain a large number of herpes viruses, and sexual intercourse at this time is highly contagious.

Genital herpes is transmitted through sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the friction between the genital skin and mucous membranes causes slight injuries, which can give the herpes simplex virus an opportunity to invade the human body. The incubation period from when the virus enters the body to when the disease develops is generally one week, but can be as long as three weeks. The most common sites of disease in men are the penis, glans and foreskin, and in women are the vulva, vagina and cervix. In homosexuals, it is more common around the anus. A small number of patients with genital herpes have never been infected with the herpes simplex virus before. The first occurrence of genital herpes is medically called primary infection, and the symptoms are more obvious. Patients may feel general discomfort, fever, headache, muscle aches, etc. Groups of blisters appear on the vulva, which develop into erosion ulcers after rupture. The inflammation is more obvious, with redness, swelling, and pain. The inguinal lymph nodes at the base of the thigh may also swell and be painful when pressed. The rash usually lasts for 1-2 weeks, which is a longer time.

In life, we must develop good living habits, reduce the occurrence of diseases, exercise on time, enhance the body's resistance, and better fight against diseases.
