Herpes
from:Herpes is a sexually transmitted viral disease caused by the
Herpes Simplex Virus. Two strains of this virus have been
identified - HSV I and HSV2.
The HSV-I virus is known to cause oral herpes. Oral herpes is a
disease that affects the mouth. Cold sores appear on the lips
and on and in the mouth. It is a communicable disease that is
prevalent among children, though it is not uncommon among adults
as well. The outbreak of the disease results in painful sores,
swollen and bleeding gums and sometimes a white coating on the
tongue.
The symptoms of herpes are not easily identifiable .The result
is that most people don't even realize they are suffering from
the disease and unintentionally spread it to non-infected
persons through physical contact.
It is easier to prevent Herpes than it is to cure it. It is
important that infected parents do not kiss their children, for
this could spread the virus. Also, it is better not to send the
infected children to school till the attack subsides. It is also
essential to keep the utensils of the patient separate from
those of the other family members. Once the disease sets in,
people should take antiviral drugs such as acyclovir.
Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease usually caused
by the HSV-2 virus. The blisters appear on the genital area,
vaginal area, penis, anal opening, and on the buttocks or
thighs. The symptoms of genital herpes include a feeling of
itching or burning in the genital area, pain in the legs or
buttocks. In case of women, there is a fluid discharge from the
vagina.
The first attack of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 virus is called the
primary episode. The symptoms set in within two to ten days of
the infection and last for about two to three weeks. After the
attack, the virus remains dormant for some time in the nerve
cells and then gets reactivated, and another attack results. The
frequency and severity of the attacks diminish with the passage
of time.
