Treatment for Herpes - By: John Bogut

Many people are confused which form of herpes that genital herpes is. That's right; there are two forms, HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 is known from the symptom of cold sores. The cold sores, which are blisters, are found around the mouth. HSV2 is the sexually transmitted disease known as genital herpes.

The symptoms of genital herpes usually start when the infected notices pain in genital area. The infected will soon notice an itchy sensation, and it can then give the body a fever and headache. Small blisters may appear on the male genital, or in the surrounding area of the vagina and in cervix. These blisters usually last from about 1 to 3 weeks, and unfortunately if the sores should break, the blisters will be painful.

Another major telltale sign of herpes is pain while urinating, usually a burning sensation. In the situation of female, there is a discharge from the vagina the moment of urination. It is usually in a mucus form. This can also happen with males as well. The glands will be swollen in groin area, which will lead to pain.

A recent study claimed that up to 79 per cent of households might encounter a version of the herpes virus, with the cases of genital herpes on the rise. It is a very contagious sexually transmitted disease, and one that will be with the infected the rest of their life. In other words, there is no cure for genital herpes.

With such a common sexually transmitted disease, it is unfortunate that many people do not realize that they are infected with this disease. It is yet another STD that may show no symptoms in a person, or if there is an outbreak, it may clear up and there will not be another outbreak for months or years. This causes the infected to think that they are STD free, when in fact; they are still carrying the infection within their body. They only way to be completely sure is to visit an STD clinic and to be tested.
