How Often Do Outbreaks Occur?

February 1st, 2010

Half of the people who have herpes don’t have any more outbreaks or flare-ups after the first occurrence of symptoms. This is especially true if the infecting herpes was HSV-1. Some people only get a few outbreaks, while others get many. People can have many outbreaks in a row and then go months or years without one. People with illnesses that weaken the immune system, such as leukemia and HIV, are more likely to get more outbreaks and have symptoms that are more painful and last longer.

What is an Outbreak or “Flare-Up” of Herpes?

January 29th, 2010

After you have primary herpes (first occurrence of herpes symptoms), symptoms go away but the virus stays in your body. The virus can “flare-up” at anytime and cause an outbreak of new symptoms. During an outbreak, new sores break out in the same places. Symptoms are less severe and last for less time (a few days to a week) than those that occurred during the first occurrence of symptoms. Symptoms that occur during outbreaks can include: blisters, sores, itching and pain.

You may have some early warning signs that an outbreak is going to occur. These include tingling, burning, and itching where you had sores before. These signs could start a few hours or days before the outbreak.

Herpes Help Relieve Tips

January 27th, 2010

You can do several things to help relieve your discomfort or pain:

* Keep sores clean and dry.
* Wear loose, cotton underwear and clothes to keep your clothes from chafing against the sores.
* Take warm or cool baths.
* Try holding cool compresses or ice packs to the sores for a few minutes several times a day.
* Drink plenty of water.
* Get plenty of rest.
* Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with pain and fever.
* If urination is painful, girls can urinate sitting backwards on the toilet so the urine doesn’t touch the lesions or they can urinate in a warm bath. Girls can also use both hands to separate the lips of the vulva, so that urine won’t touch the sores. They should make sure to wash their hands right after touching the vulva so the virus isn’t spread to the fingers or face.

Relieve Symptoms For Genital Herpes

January 25th, 2010

Is there anything I can do to relieve my symptoms for genital herpes?

Your health care provider will likely prescribe an anti-herpes medication to help your sores heal faster. If you are having frequent outbreaks, your health care provider may also suggest medication to lessen the number of episodes of herpes or to start treatment as soon as tingling or other symptoms start.

Does Treatment Cure Herpes?

January 20th, 2010

No. Although herpes cannot be cured, it can be treated! For oral herpes, using a sunblock around the borders of the lips and a hat can lessen the chance of cold sores from sun exposure. Medications can be used to treat herpes infections and to prevent genital herpes recurrences.

Is There Treatment For Herpes?

January 13th, 2010

Yes. Your health care provider can prescribe medications that quicken healing, make symptoms less painful, and lower the risk of getting outbreaks while you are taking the medications. These medications don’t kill the virus and don’t prevent you from getting outbreaks in the future. Once you catch the herpes virus, you always have it. Even when you don’t have any symptoms, the virus is in the body and can “flare up.” However, outbreaks usually become fewer and less severe as time goes on. Outbreaks can be prevented or treated early with anti-viral medication to lessen symptoms.

How Is Herpes Diagnosed?

January 11th, 2010

Your health care provider can diagnose herpes by looking at the sores during a physical exam and by testing fluid taken from the sores to see if you have HSV-1 or HSV-2. There are also type specific blood tests which can be helpful in some patients to figure out which virus type caused the symptoms or to figure out if one partner has been infected by herpes. If you think you have herpes sores, see your health care provider right away to see if you need testing and treatment.

What Are The Symptoms of Genital Herpes?

January 6th, 2010

Genital herpes may be caused by HSV-1 from oral sex or from HSV-2 from genital sexual exposure. Infection with herpes may not cause any symptoms and the person may not know they have the virus until they pass it on to another person or get symptoms when the virus is “reactivated.” If you do have symptoms, they can begin from 2 to 20 days (usually within 2 weeks)after the virus enters the body. The first occurrence of symptoms during the first infection of genital herpes is called “primary herpes.” You may have a tingling or itching in the genital area at first. You could have pain or soreness in the buttocks, legs, and groin area. Small, painful red bumps appear on the area near where the virus entered the body- on the labia, clitoris, vagina, vulva, cervix, anus, thighs, or buttocks in girls and penis, scrotum, anus, or buttocks in boys. These bumps turn into blisters or open sores. Between 24-72 hours after the small blisters show up, they can burst and leave painful sores.

Other symptoms of primary herpes infection can include:

* Itching
* Burning, painful feeling if urine passes over the sores
* Inability to urinate if swollen from many sores
* Swollen, tender lymph glands in the groin, throat, and under the arms (can remain swollen for up to 6 weeks)
* Muscle aches
* Headache
* Fever
* Nausea
* Headache
* “Run-down” feeling
* Achy, flu-like feeling

Symptoms usually go away within 3 weeks; even faster if you are treated with medication. The sores usually scab over and heal without scars. But after going away, the virus stays in the body. It can “flare up” and cause sores again from a few days to years later. Symptoms are usually worst during primary herpes, and are milder with flares. However, the flares may come frequently enough or be painful enough that you may choose treatment for that too.

What Are The Symptoms of Oral Herpes?

January 4th, 2010

The first infection with HSV-1 or oral herpes often causes no symptoms but it may cause sores in the mouth around the teeth and gums (“gingivostomatitis”). Typically the infection shows up as small blisters on the lips (“cold sores” or “fever blisters”), a flare-up of an earlier infection. The flare-ups are more common during colds, fevers, and sun exposure.. Oral herpes can be spread through contact such as kissing, or though oral sex. Direct contact for a short amount of time is enough to spread the virus. Cold sores are annoying, can be dangerous to a newborn, and can cause genital herpes through oral sex.
