Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It primarily affects the genital area, causing painful sores and blisters. The infection can be transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact, including sexual activity, and can occur even when no visible sores are present.

Symptoms of genital herpes include itching, burning sensations, and the appearance of small, painful blisters or sores around the genital region, buttocks, or thighs. These symptoms may recur periodically, as the virus remains dormant in the body’s nerve cells and can reactivate in response to stress, illness, or other factors.

Although there is no cure for genital herpes, antiviral medications can help manage the symptoms, reduce the frequency of outbreaks, and lower the risk of transmission to partners. It is important for individuals with genital herpes to practice safe sex, inform their partners of their condition, and follow medical advice to manage the infection effectively. Regular consultations with a healthcare provider can help in monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment as needed.
