What are the after-effects of genital herpes

Most of the patients with genital herpes can mostly disappear their symptoms without obvious sequelae after treatment. However, if patients do not take timely treatment measures, complications may occur, such as decreased muscle strength, sacrococcygeal swelling and pain, and in severe cases, infertility. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus infection of urogenital and perianal skin mucosa. After standardized treatment, the patient’s systemic symptoms and skin damage subside, and clinical recovery can be achieved, usually without obvious sequelae, no need to worry. However, it should be noted that because genital herpes is prone to recurrence and the frequency of recurrence is relatively high, if no active treatment measures are taken, it may cause complications, such as loss of muscle strength, sacrococcygeal distension, genital pain and other symptoms, and in serious cases, it may affect the reproductive function, resulting in infertility. Therefore, once diagnosed with genital herpes, patients need to actively cooperate with doctors to take relevant treatment measures.
