Herpes in women is characterized by periods of exacerbation of clinical symptoms and subsided, while the person remains a carrier of this type of virus for life.

What affects the appearance of the symptoms of herpes

Once the herpes virus got into the human body, clinical manifestations are not immediate. It is proved that there are even sex differences affecting the duration of the incubation period of the disease. In men, the symptoms appear earlier than in women. Herpes incubation period can range from one, two days to twenty days or more. If we talk about the average duration of this period, it is determined in twelve days.

Herpes symptoms in women often coincide with the beginning of the menstrual cycle. This fact may explain why episodes of herpes infections are more common in women. For a woman, the physiological changes that occur during menstruation, compared with the natural state of provocation. Herpes in the month appears in the form of an exacerbation. Within a few days before the start of the period, when to begin menstruation, it appears discomfort, itching, burning sensation in the mucous membranes.

Manifestations of herpes in women in case of defeat genitals may affect not only the outside of the genitals and the vaginal wall, outer thighs, buttocks. The main symptom of herpes infection is a rash with blisters that affects the mucous membranes and the skin surface. First, the bubbles can be single, but they subsequently fuse. Within a few days the content of bubbles is transparent, then it becomes cloudy, which is observed in the period before the bubbles burst.

Herpes in women can occur without rash. In this case, the characteristic will be complaints of severe pruritus, discomfort in the genital area. Only helps to confirm the diagnosis laboratory diagnostics, to detect the presence of viral diseases. These forms of herpes become more severe, since a woman often takes multiple treatments for other infectious diseases, and the disease becomes complicated course.
