Primary genital herpes develops after 2 to 20 days of infection, and recurrent genital herpes develops after the primary infection has subsided and under the triggers of low immunity such as upper respiratory tract infections and overexertion. 1. Primary genital herpes: the incubation period is 2~20 days, the course of the disease is 2~3 weeks, manifested as small blisters, which can be scattered or concentrated distribution, accompanied by pain, after which the blisters break, forming shallow ulcers or vesicles, and finally scabbing. It is often accompanied by fever, fatigue, headache, inguinal lymph node swelling and pain and other systemic symptoms. 2. Recurrent genital herpes: generally after the primary infection subsides, it develops under the triggers of low immunity such as upper respiratory tract infections, overwork, etc. The lesions are similar to those of primary genital herpes, occurring at the primary site, but the condition is milder and the systemic symptoms are rare. Patients with genital herpes should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
