What are the symtoms of genital herpes?
The symptoms of genital herpes are typically non-specific and quite mild. In the classic case, individuals have grouped blisters or genital ulcers. These burn and can be painful. Often–prior to the development of the lesions–patients describe a prodrome. A prodrome is a burning sensation in the area where the lesions will develop. This can be accompanied by a burning sensation during urination, itching or discomfort in the genital area.
