Women who are positive for herpes simplex virus type 2 may have skin lesions in the genital area, as well as systemic symptoms.
1. Skin lesions in the genital area: the most common areas in women are the labia majora, labia minora, urethra, vaginal opening, cervix, and a few around the anus, groin, buttocks, etc. The blisters will begin to appear as scattered or clustered blisters, and they will break out after 2 to 4 days, resulting in vesiculation and superficial ulcers, accompanied by pain, and then scabs will form.
2. Systemic Symptoms: In the acute stage of inflammation, there may be swelling of the inguinal lymph nodes, pain, increased body temperature, headache, fatigue and other systemic complications.
Female herpes simplex virus type 2 positivity may also be indicative of a previous infection, which is currently manifesting itself as an absence of clinical symptoms.
Women who are positive for herpes simplex virus type 2 should go to the hospital for timely examination and treatment as prescribed by the doctor, and the other party of sexual intercourse should also be examined to clarify whether they are infected.
