Genital Herpes
from:Genital herpes is transmitted sexually by the HSV-2 virus. The
primary symptoms of the disease are the blisters or sores that
appear on the genital area. Other symptoms of the disease
include a constant pain in the legs, buttocks or the genital
area. Women have to put up with the discomfort of a vaginal
discharge. Infected people get a feeling of pressure or fullness
in the abdominal area.
Genital Herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus, (HSV).
There are two strains of this virus--the HSV-1 and HSV-2. While
HSV-1 causes oral herpes, genital herpes is caused by the HSV-2
virus. Generally, people do not have the symptoms of the disease
or even if they do, they are minimal. As a result, most people
do not realize that they have herpes.
The common symptoms of this disease include blisters around the
genitals or the rectum. When blisters break, sores or ulcers
remain. These sores contain the HSV-2 virus, and when these
sores burst, people become infected with genital herpes. The
virus is also released from skin that does not appear to have
been broken
As said, most infected people don't realize they have herpes,
but if the signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak,
then they can be very severe. The first outbreak generally
occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted and is
called the primary episode. It usually takes about three to four
weeks for the sores to heal. People affected for the first time,
can further expect around another 4 to 5 outbreaks in a year.
With each outbreak, the severity decreases.
Genital herpes can also be transmitted from affected pregnant
woman to her baby, especially during the primary attack. If the
virus is transmitted through the placenta, it can cause fatal
diseases in the baby. Also herpes can prove extremely painful to
people with suppressed immune systems.
As such, there is no cure for genital herpes, but antiviral
medications cab help relieve pain and also prevent further
outbreaks as long as the person takes the preventive medicines.
