What Are Some Signs That I Might Have Genital Herpes?

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Often it’s hard to tell if you have genital herpes by looking. The textbook symptom of genital herpes is a cluster of small fluid-filled blisters that break, forming painful sores that crust and heal during several days. Affected areas include the penis, scrotum, vagina, vulva, urethra, anus, thighs, and buttocks.

But many people with genital herpes don’t get these sores. Some people have no symptoms at all, while others get symptoms that can be easily mistaken for razor burn, pimples, bug bites, jock itch, hemorrhoids, an ingrown hair, or a vaginal yeast infection.

After you’re infected with genital herpes, the symptoms go away, but can flare up from time to time. Luckily, the first outbreak usually is the worst. And some people may have just one or two outbreaks in their lifetime.

How Is Oral Herpes Transmitted?

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Oral herpes- such as cold sores can also be transmitted by direct skin to skin contact. For example a person with a cold sore or blisters can transmit the virus by kissing a person without herpes. Babies are more vulnerable to this transmission as people just want to kiss and hug them all the times. Another form of transmission, is if a herpes sufferer touches the infected area and then touches another person.

People with oral herpes should avoid touching their infected area as you do not always wash your hands with soap. When you have Oral herpes you should avoid performing oral sex as you will transmit the virus to the other party.

What Is Herpes Simplex?

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common, contagious infection of the skin which occurs on any part of the body, especially the genital and lip area. It can also affect the nervous system and the brain. Research shows that 1 in 5 Americans suffer from Herpes Simplex Virus. Most people confuse herpes simplex with herpes zoster which causes shingles and chicken pox. The term “herpes” comes from the Greek word “herpein,” which means “to creep” or “to spread”. They are two types of Herpes simplex viruses which are discussed below.

Types of herpes simplex

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) - which occurs above the hip mostly on the lips and it can be represented by cold sores and blisters. It cannot be transmitted sexually although kissing and oral sex can transmit HSV-1.  Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) - which can be found below the hip mostly on the genital area. It can be transmitted sexually and most people suffer from this type of HSV.

When you’re infected by the virus this is what happens as soon as it enters your body (symptoms)?

* Skin outbreaks may show in 2 to 12 days after the virus enters you body
* Then you start to see small blisters or sores.
* Yours skin then becomes inflamed (red and sensitive)
* The blisters start to dry out this happens because they are healing which can take longer if skin is moist. It can cause the lesions to itch and be painful
* The crusts form and the dry areas start to fall off, at this stage the lesions is no longer contagious and the virus can be considered inactive.
* Swelling around the infected area may occur
* You might experience headaches, muscle aches and fever.
* Latency - During this time (latency) the HSV shows no symptoms and it is not transmittable.
* Shedding- The virus is powerful at this stage (shedding), it starts to multiply in your body and it become transmittable even though you show no symptoms.

Symptoms of Genital Herpes

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Have you experienced any of these symptoms? Do the symptoms go away after a week or more, and then return just when you thought you had gotten rid of them once and for all? If you have any of the following symptoms you may have genital herpes (HSV-2):

* Itching
* Burning
* Bumps
* Tingling in or around the genital area
* Blisters
* Sores
* Pain
* Flu-like symptoms such as headache, fever, and swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the groin

When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. These blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that can take between two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years.

Genital herpes outbreaks can sometimes be triggered by the following:

* Being run-down
* Suffering from other genital infections (affecting the local skin area)
* Menstruation Cycle
* Pregnancy
* Drinking a lot of alcohol
* Sun
* Stress and anxiety
* Fatigue
* Ultraviolet light
* Friction or damage to the skin, caused by, for example, sexual intercourse, may also lead to a recurrence
* Diet and certain foods
* Fever
* Temperature extremes

Facts About Genital Herpes

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

* Transmission is caused by oral, anal, or genital contact including - intercourse, kissing, or any direct skin-to-skin contact which allows for the transfer of bodily fluids.
* A person is considered contagious when these symptoms are present - active sores, and healing lesions.
* Herpes is still contagious when no symptoms are present. A person who has genital herpes is potentially always shedding the active virus.
* Some people do not get typical blister-like sores but they harbor active virus in their saliva, vaginal, or penile secretions, and can shed the virus without knowing they have herpes.
* Lesions can occur deep inside the vagina where they cannot be seen or felt, but can transmit the virus.
* Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar.
* Auto-inoculation - An infected individual can spread the virus to other parts of there body by touching an area shedding virus and then touching, scratching, or rubbing another susceptible part of the body.
* Towels are especially conducive for herpes transmission.

What is HSV-1?

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Cold sores are caused by a virus called herpes (pronounced hur-peez). Herpes is one of the most common viral infections in the world. The medical name for the specific virus that causes cold sores is herpes simplex.

Herpes simplex (HSV-1) is also commonly referred to as cold sores, fever blisters, oral herpes or herpes labialis. It is a viral infection of the skin that may occur once or return again and again. This happens when’s the virus is cleared from the skin by the immune system it hides in the nerves and is never completely removed from the body. Herpes infections are very common. It is estimated that nine out of ten people have been exposed to herpes and many of these don’t even know it. Those who carry herpes can spread the disease without even knowing it.

Herpes simplex begins as a group of small red bumps that blister that is sometimes preceded by itching and burning of the area. The blisters begin to dry up after a few days and form a yellow crust. The crust then falls off and the redness slowly goes away. The whole process takes about 10-14 days. Scars rarely form.

Herpes Zoster

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

What is Herpes Zoster?

Herpes Zoster, also called herpes zoster or zoster, is a painful skin rash caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). VZV is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body. Usually the virus does not cause any problems; however, the virus can reappear years later, causing Herpes Zoster. Herpes zoster is not caused by the same virus that causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease.

What does Herpes Zoster look like?

Herpes Zoster usually starts as a rash on one side of the face or body. The rash starts as blisters that scab after 3 to 5 days. The rash usually clears within 2 to 4 weeks.

Before the rash develops, there is often pain, itching, or tingling in the area where the rash will develop. Other symptoms of Herpes Zoster can include fever, headache, chills, and upset stomach.

Are there any long-term effects from Herpes Zoster?

Very rarely, Herpes Zoster can lead to pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, brain inflammation (encephalitis) or death. For about 1 person in 5, severe pain can continue even after the rash clears up. This pain is called post-herpetic neuralgia. As people get older, they are more likely to develop post-herpetic neuralgia, and it is more likely to be severe.

How common is Herpes Zoster in the United States?

In the United States, there are an estimated 1 million cases of Herpes Zoster each year.

Who gets Herpes Zoster?

Anyone who has recovered from chickenpox may develop Herpes Zoster, including children. However, Herpes Zoster most commonly occurs in people 50 years old and older. The risk of getting Herpes Zoster increases as a person gets older. People who have medical conditions that keep the immune system from working properly, like cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or people who receive immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids and drugs given after organ transplantation are also at greater risk to get Herpes Zoster.

How often can a person get Herpes Zoster?

Most commonly, a person has only one episode of Herpes Zoster in his/her lifetime. Although rare, a second or even third case of Herpes Zoster can occur.

Can Herpes Zoster be spread to others?

Herpes Zoster cannot be passed from one person to another. However, the virus that causes Herpes Zoster, VZV, can be spread from a person with active Herpes Zoster to a person who has never had chickenpox through direct contact with the rash. The person exposed would develop chickenpox, not Herpes Zoster. The virus is not spread through sneezing, coughing or casual contact. A person with Herpes Zoster can spread the disease when the rash is in the blister-phase. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious. A person is not infectious before blisters appear or with post-herpetic neuralgia (pain after the rash is gone).

What can be done to prevent the spread of Herpes Zoster?

The risk of spreading Herpes Zoster is low if the rash is covered. People with Herpes Zoster should keep the rash covered, not touch or scratch the rash, and wash their hands often to prevent the spread of VZV. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.

Is there a treatment for Herpes Zoster?

Several medicines, acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex), and famciclovir (Famvir), are available to treat Herpes Zoster. These medications should be started as soon as possible after the rash appears and will help shorten how long the illness lasts and how severe the illness is. Pain medicine may also help with pain caused by Herpes Zoster. Call your doctor as soon as possible to discuss treatment options.

Signs And Symptoms of Shingles

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Before a rash is visible, the patient may notice several days to a week of burning pain and sensitive skin. Shingles start as small blisters on a red base, with new blisters continuing to form for 3-5 days. The blisters follow the path of individual nerves that comes out of the spinal cord (called dermatomal pattern). The entire path of the nerve may be involved or there may be areas with blisters and areas without blisters

What is the prognosis?

For most healthy people, the lesions heal, the pain subsides within 3 to 5 weeks, and the blisters leave no scars. However, shingles is a serious threat in immunosuppressed individuals for example, those with HIV infection or who are receiving cancer treatments that can weaken their immune systems. People who receive organ transplants are also vulnerable to shingles because they are given drugs that suppress the immune system.
