Genital herpes are caused by the herpes simplex virus or HSV 2. Almost 20% of population in the USA suffer from this condition and is more prevalent in women than in men. With over 500,000 cases coming to light annually, it is a relief that the number of cases overall is reducing annually.Signs of genital herpes caused by the HSV 2 virus vary from person to person and appear within two to ten days of being infected. They can last up to 3 weeks and they area. Burning or itching sensation in the genitalsb. Vaginal dischargec. Bloated abdomen and a feeling of pressure andd. An accompanying pain in the genitals, buttocks and the backAfter these symptoms are discovered, the infected area is earmarked by lesions or sores and they can also occur over the cervix or inside the vagina in women. However the common signs of genital herpes in both men and women are the lesions or sores occurring inside the urinary tract. At first, the sores and lesions seem to red bumps, about a pea pod in size. These lesions develop into blisters and can become quite painful sores. After a few days, these sores dry out, become crusted and disappear without a sign or a scar.The above signs of genital herpes are also accompanied by other symptoms like muscle aches, headache, fever, swollen groin glands and pain while urinating. Genital herpes does not stop here. After infecting the mucous membranes and the skin in the genital area, the virus travels further to the end of the spinal cord (sensory nerves) and parks itself inside the nerve cells inactively. Once infected with genital herpes, it is highly probable that it remains for the rest of your life. Many people also experience monthly recurrence of the herpes symptoms. During such recurrence, the HSV 2 virus travels to the last lesions or sores it caused and causes havoc in the same area. New sores appear and normally do not stay for long. A person infected with genital herpes needs to be careful during these recurrences lest he or she may infect the sexual partner.
