Understanding Genital Herpes: Causes and Treatment Options
Overview
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), while type 1 (HSV-1) is generally responsible for cold sores. This condition spreads through any form of sexual contact, including oral sex, from an infected partner. Once contracted, the virus remains in the body permanently, although it stays dormant between flare-ups. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms during these episodes.
Initial Flare-Ups and Symptoms
After contracting the virus, symptoms might not appear immediately. Initial flare-ups can be mild and easily overlooked, with more severe symptoms potentially occurring later. Signs include ulcerating sores on the genitals, fever, muscle aches, and in women, sores may also appear inside the genitalia and cervix. Diagnosing herpes solely based on visible symptoms can be challenging, necessitating a proper blood test for confirmation.
Recurrence and Patterns
Flare-ups vary between individuals; some people experience them frequently, while others might have only one or two episodes. The intervals between flare-ups may span from months to years, and predicting them is challenging. During severe flare-ups, symptoms can be highly uncomfortable, with painful sores around the genitals and anal area.
Preventing Transmission
During a flare-up, it's crucial to refrain from sexual activity to prevent transmitting the virus to a partner. If a partner is experiencing symptoms, it's advisable to avoid contact until they have fully healed, as the infection is highly contagious during this time.
Treatment Options
Doctors typically prescribe antiviral medications to alleviate symptoms and shorten the duration of outbreaks. While these medications don't eliminate the virus, they help manage and suppress its activity, allowing the virus to return to a dormant state post-treatment.
