Why is it important for you to know how herpes symptoms show up? The CDC says that 1 in 6 people between the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes. That is why you should know about herpes symptoms and treatments. One of the most commonly contracted STDs for men and women is herpes. You cannot get rid of herpes. Herpes doesn't have a cure. Herpes stays with you for life. Therefore, it's vital to know what the signs are and what you should do if you feel you might be infected.
There is no way to look at someone and determine whether or not they have herpes. Some people will never have any herpes symptoms or signs. And because you can get infected with herpes from only a single episode of unprotected sex, it's recommended that you always put on a condom while having sex. STD testing is essential if there is any possibility that you could be infected, so that you can start treatment right away.
Herpes Symptoms
During the first occurrence, signs start to show within 2-20 days of the first contact and can remain up to two weeks. At times, the signs are so minimal that the herpes infection could go undiagnosed, so whenever you have unprotected sex, it is recommended you get tested. On occasion, individuals who have had cold sores or facial herpes in the past might have more moderate symptoms due to partial immunity.
For the majority of people, the initial episode of herpes is the worst, particularly if their bodies haven't been exposed to any kind of the virus previously. When the virus gets into the cells of the skin, it starts multiplying right away, which brings about inflammation, redness and sensitivity. Most often, small bumps or blisters will occur in the genital region. Outbreaks are normally itchy, painful, and they might tingle or burn.
For females, blisters may break out in the outer genitals, vaginal region, buttocks, cervix, or anus. Men might see blisters on their scrotum, penis, buttocks, thighs, anus, or in the urethra.
It is vital to know that herpes has many more symptoms than just the obvious sores. If you've been exposed to the herpes virus, you might have "flu-like symptoms", enlarged lymph nodes, headache, muscle ache, fever, penile or vaginal discharge, burning when urinating, and lower back pain.
Remember, though, that over 60% of those infected have no symptoms and are unaware that they are infected. That makes having safe sex and frequent STD testing all the more crucial.
Herpes Treatment
Future occurrences of herpes outbreaks are generally not as long or sever as the first, but do occur, typically around 4 times per year. However, they might lessen in occurrence as time goes on and are typically preceded by warning signs. Because a complete cure is impossible for sufferers right now, many people endure herpes their whole life, treating only the outbreaks when they show up.
Herpes outbreaks can be treated with medications. At times, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are given, along with prescription antiviral drugs like Valtrex or Zovirax.
