Genital herpes can be caused by the herpes simplex viruses (HSV) type 1 or 2. Generally, a person can only get HSV type 2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV type 2 infection. On the other hand, HSV type 1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips (fever blisters). HSV type 1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV type 1 infection. Initial symptoms of genital herpes may include itching or pain, followed by sores that appear a few hours to a few days later. The sores, which may appear on the vagina, start out as red bumps that soon turn into red, watery blisters. The sores may open up, ooze fluid or bleed, and then heal within the next 2 to 4 weeks. Flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, and swollen lymph nodes may also be observed. Definite diagnosis is through direct clinical examination and blood test for the herpes antibodies. Have this examined by your gynecologist for proper diagnosis.
