Herpes Symptoms causes and effects

Let's have a look at what Herpes is before looking at its symptoms. 'Herpes' is frequently used as a shorthand reference for the occurrence that appear in the genital area – which is caused by a virus which is identified as "Herpes Simplex Virus".

The Herpes Simplex Virus is of two categories, these are 1) (HSV 1) Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 and 2) (HSV 2) Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2. HSV 1 is more common of the two varieties of the Herpes Simplex Virus and is found in many cases: the researches have shown that almost 90% of adults are infected with HSV 1. The symptoms of HSV 1 are most often appearing about the mouth; well they might also appear on other parts of the upper body too. There are more chances that symptoms of HSV 1 will appear more around the mouth, the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 is also designated as "Oral Herpes". Herpes Simplex Virus 2 is consider happening in 1 out of 5 adults, or by estimation in nearly 20% of the adults.

The symptoms of HSV 2 are most often appearing in the genital area, the symptoms can also appear on the other body areas as well: they might appear just below the waist as well. Due to the tendency for the HSV 2 symptoms to appear in the Genital Area, Herpes Simplex Virus 2 infection is commonly known as genital Herpes. The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 virus can infect the genitals, and Herpes Simplex Virus 2 can infect the area around the mouth. Whereas the two strains of the Herpes Simplex Virus show symptoms mostly in one particular area of the body or another, and can be most effective within that particular area, they are not absolutely confined. HSV 1 and HSV 2 viruses represent different types of virus strains, when any of the two shows symptoms the symptoms are usually very similar to each other.

The most common symptom of HSV shows no symptoms at all. The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection usually does not produce any recognizable physical symptoms. HSV infection is usually a "silent" condition; you won't even know that you are suffering from Herpes Simplex Virus but you maybe. These signs can diverge from individual to individual, but these symptoms are cyclic: The symptoms can be a burning sensation in the affected area or even discomfort or tingling in that area, which shows the symptoms, followed by the appearance of a blister that are filled with fluid and then they burst, then scab over and heal. Without proper treatment, HSV symptoms will run their course within two weeks or so. Symptoms usually clear considerably faster than when the effective treatment is used for HSV.
