What are the early symptoms of herpes in women?

Herpes is a relatively common reproductive disease. Generally speaking, if men do not pay enough attention to personal hygiene in their daily lives, they are likely to develop this disease. However, due to the openness of people's sexual concepts, many women are now also prone to this disease, and the symptoms shown by women are more severe than those of men. So what are the clinical characteristics of herpes in women? Let’s take a look together below!

Symptoms of herpes in women:

1. Many women have no symptoms when they are infected with herpes, or only feel slight discomfort in the genital area.

Some patients develop herpes (small blisters) or ulcers around the vagina, which may even extend into the vagina. These ulcers are often painful and itchy, and are often accompanied by redness and swelling of the genital area (vulva).

2. Many women experience pain when urinating and may mistake it for a bladder infection before discovering an ulcer. In the early stages of the disease, ulcers last for as little as a week, but usually last for 2-3 weeks. When the old ulcers begin to heal, new ulcers appear again. The lymph nodes in the groin may also become painful and swollen. During the first week of the illness, flu-like symptoms may appear, such as fever, headache, or body aches. After the first infection, it usually recurs several times within a year, but the pain is less than the first time, the contagiousness is reduced, and the duration is reduced by half. The disease process is that before the ulcer appears, the skin around the genitals will feel itchy, tingling or burning, which lasts for about two days.

3. Some women experience frequent attacks, while others may have an attack once a month.
