What are the symptoms of herpes?
From two to twenty days after exposure to the virus, one begins to see the first signs of infection. The first signals which indicate that one may have herpes include burning and itching of the genitals. This is quickly followed by the emergence of blisters. The blisters begin as a group of tiny, red, painful spots which will develop into yellowish blisters which burst. What remains is a collection of ulcers which are painful to touch but will heal in about 10 days. While the blisters are active, it is common to suffer from a fever, loss of appetite and/or swelling in the genital area.
Herpes symptoms and women
women's experience with herpes is distinctly different from that of men. Due to the different genital structures, women have a larger area (the vulva) which may become infected. Consequently, women may experience more pain than men when urinating. Furthermore, the virus can often be carried into the vagina to infect the cervix. If this occurs, your physician may ask you to have a pap test done. This is done to protect you because the incidence of cervical cancer is higher in the presence of herpes. Pregnant women should inform their physician immediately.
