Herpes
is brought by two types of viruses: herpes simplex type 1 and 2. The most
unique thing with the virus is that only one in five people show signs of
infection. Due to this many people don't know that they have been infected.
Signs of Herpes Infection It's good to note that the signs of infection usually
show during the first outbreak. This is a period between 2 days and 2 weeks. If
you are infected you will have tingling and itchy sensations on your genitalia.
The
glands in the groin may become swollen and sensitive and if you aren't
knowledgeable enough you may think that you are having flu. You can also have
pains in your nerves near the developing blisters. It's also common for
blisters and small blisters to appear in genital areas. The blisters last for
24-48 hours, after which they burst leaving you with small, red and painful
sores. The sores usually heal after 3-10 days. Other signs include painful
urination. Women may have vaginal discharge and they may occasionally be unable
to empty their bladders.
