Genital herpes outbreaks can happen as an initial attack or as a recurrent condition. Here are the common symptoms associated with first genital herpes outbreaks.

First genital herpes outbreaks happen in people who have never shown previous exposure to the herpes simplex virus. The symptoms during a first attack are usually the most fatal because the body does not have any defense against the herpes virus.

In initial genital herpes outbreaks, the human body responds to an attack by sending antibodies to fight the virus. Specific immune cells and antibodies that are currently in the body are capable of pinpointing and regulating the virus. Sadly, the antibodies do not totally eliminate the virus from the immune system, which explains why the virus remains permanently in the body once infected.

After the production of antibodies, genital herpes outbreaks are usually milder. As years go by, you would most likely experience fewer or no outbreaks.

After initial exposure, the symptoms of genital herpes outbreaks may manifest itself within 2 to 12 days. However, it may take days, weeks, months, or years for any symptom to manifest itself.

Because the extent and severity of genital herpes outbreaks may differ from one person to another, it can be challenging to predict when and who transmitted the virus. In some people, the manifestations of this STD may be mild. In others, they may experience severe or no manifestations at all.

During initial genital herpes outbreaks, you may be experiencing any of the following manifestations:

* Flu like symptoms, pain in the muscles, fever

* For a first time exposure, blisters are more likely to show, particularly in women. They can be manifested in different sizes and can show in various locations like the genitals, thighs, buttocks, and around the anus.

* There is also tenderness, itchiness, and pain in the affected part.

* Swelling in the affected region that is normal due to bodily reactions to the virus.

* Swollen lymph nodes in the groin region that is also a normal bodily reaction to the virus.

* In women, there is cervical infection in 80% to 90% of initial outbreaks and there is likewise a vaginal discharge.

Without undergoing any treatment, initial genital herpes outbreaks can last up to 3 to 4 weeks but in many instances, the symptoms completely disappear in a span of 2 to 12 days. If you suspect that there are symptoms of genital herpes outbreaks, consult your doctor right away.

The good thing is that new advances in assessing genital herpes outbreaks are quite accessible. It is quite notable that the efficiency of favor in the treatment of initial genital herpes outbreaks has not been proven as of this time.
