Genital herpes is a common genital infection type of sexually transmitted disease, which is extremely recurrent and infectious and is generally classified as primary genital herpes, recurrent genital herpes, rectal-anal herpes virus infection, pregnant women, and neonatal herpes virus infection. Primary genital herpes has a duration of 2 to 13 weeks and an incubation period of 3 to 14 days. At the beginning of the disease, there is a burning sensation on the affected area, followed by the appearance of one or more red papules on the affected area, which rapidly turn into blisters with itching. 3 to 5 days later, the blisters turn into vesicles or ulcers and crusts with pain. At the onset of the disease, the patient will have swollen inguinal lymph nodes on the affected side, which are painful on pressure, and accompanied by fever, headache, and physical weakness. Recurrent genital herpes occurs within 1 to 4 months after the primary and has a duration of 7 to 10 days, with less severe symptoms and a shorter duration than primary genital herpes. The onset of the disease is preceded by a local itching and burning sensation, followed by clusters of small red papules around the external genitalia or anus, which quickly break down to form vesicles or shallow ulcers. Although genital herpes has a high recurrence rate, it has a certain degree of self-healing. When patients are first infected, the virus is still in the primary infection and has not entered the nervous system, and should be treated early to reduce the recurrence rate and pain.
