What are the symptoms of early herpes in women?

Female genital herpes is a very common sexually transmitted disease. Genital herpes is very easy to be infected. The incidence rate in women is higher than that in men. It can be infected not only through contact in life, but also during sexual intercourse. Pregnant women may also infect the fetus, so the harm of this disease is very large. Next, we will introduce the early symptoms of female genital herpes.

When the female friends around you experience symptoms such as nausea, swollen inguinal lymph nodes, low fever, chills, abdominal pain, etc., they may be infected with genital herpes. They must be discovered and treated in time to avoid missing the best treatment time, otherwise cervicitis and metritis will occur.

When genital herpes develops to the late stage and the virus disseminates the infection to involve the urethra and bladder mucosa, symptoms such as difficulty urinating, painful urination, frequent urination, and in severe cases, urinary retention may occur. There may also be headache, stiff neck, fever, malaise, meningitis, and sacral nervous system dysfunction

When genital herpes spreads to the lips, it can cause herpes simplex labialis. According to sampling tests on patients with positive HSV antibodies, 27% of them carried the virus in their saliva. Females are more susceptible than males, with the former having an incidence rate about six times that of the latter. 80% of women become infected after having sexual contact with male patients. If symptoms of genital herpes appear in a pregnant woman, the herpes virus will be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, causing microcephaly, congenital heart disease, limb defects, microphthalmia and other diseases in the offspring. If the infection is transmitted to the newborn during delivery, the fetus will often develop encephalitis. Therefore, the harm caused by sexually transmitted diseases to women is much more serious than that to men. The sooner genital herpes is eliminated, the better for women. Avoid passing diseases to the next generation.

The above introduces the early symptoms of female genital herpes, which can help everyone fully understand the disease of genital herpes.
