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.

It is like a cold sore on the mouth, sort of a watery sore that takes days to heal only it's in the private area. With Herpes you have outbreaks over and over. there are meds to help reduce the number of outbreaks but no cure. Antibiotics are not used for herpes. Antibiotics are for bacterial infection. Herpes is spread by sexual contact. that shiz is gross. As above - clearly explained. Is something she'll need to tell her gaenocologist if she's ever going to have a kid as it can potentially cause complications at birth. Otherwise, something she'll just continue to get from time to time. A google search should provide you with more info. sounds like your not the only dude hitting that hole!! Genital herpes: A common infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 or type 1. Type 1 is commonly acquired through oral sex, while type 2 is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Symptoms include small blisters in the genital area which rapidly break down to leave painful ulcers. Other symptoms include pain or difficulty in passing urine. Some patients may develop headache and fever. Herpes infection during late pregnancy is potentially dangerous to the baby during labour. Herpes is a life-long chronic condition which cannot be cured. However, there are antiviral drugs available which can reduce the severity of symptoms. Please see the web pages for more details and images on Genital Herpes. |
