I am confused about possible signs of infection. Does herpes cause centralized or general itching in the genital region? Also, does herpes cause pain in the prostate? Please could someone help me out with these questions
If you are going to notice the symptoms of a newly acquired herpes infection they will occur within 2-20 days after infection. Most folks don't notice symptoms.
If you have any pain in the genital area you should be seeing your provider. Prostate type pain is not usual and shouldn't be ignored.
