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.
