Genital Herpes SymptomsIt’s important to know what genital herpes symptoms are. If a person is experiencing one of more of these symptoms it’s a wise idea to seek medical attention: * Blisters in the pubic area or near the rectum are one of the genital herpes symptoms. These blisters initially appear soon after infection. The blisters will pop and turn into small sores. These sores can linger for upwards of a month. Although many people with genital herpes will experience outbreaks at different times, it’s important to note that the outbreaks do tend to lessen in severity and generally occur less frequently. This is the main symptom of genital herpes and if you are experiencing blisters it’s important to see your doctor. * A fever. Right after infection some people will experience a mild grade fever accompanied by a generally sluggish feeling. When this occurs in tandem with the blisters it can be one of the genital herpes symptoms. It is easy to associate the fever with a cold or the beginnings of the flu, although obviously you’ll consider other options when you notice the blisters. It’s important to note that many people who are infected have very mild genital herpes symptoms. They may notice a blister in their pubic region and explain it away as being the product of an allergic reaction to a new laundry detergent or cleanser. The average number of outbreaks during the first year following infection is three to five. Therefore even though someone may ignore their first outbreak they will most likely become concerned during the second or third occurrence. Being aware of genital herpes symptoms will help you to determine when a visit to the doctor is warranted. Although it can be uncomfortable explaining that you believe you may have genital herpes, it’s important to know. After all naivety is not a method of treatment.
