What are the complications of genital herpes?

1. Cause other systemic diseases

Genital herpes can cause central nervous system complications, such as herpetic meningitis, spinal nerve root disease, and myelitis; after disseminated HSV infection, the virus spreads through the bloodstream to multiple organs, and interstitial pneumonia and hepatitis may occur; a small number of genital herpes patients will develop symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease and proctitis, manifested as lower abdominal pain and tenderness in the uterine adnexa; some genital herpes viruses can remain latent in nerve cells for a long time, and when they relapse, they will be complicated by lumbar neuritis, with symptoms such as radiating pain in the buttocks and lower limbs, and bladder paralysis.

2. It is easy to be combined with other sexually transmitted diseases

In areas where AIDS is prevalent, genital herpes can increase the risk of HIV infection; if it is mixed with gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, syphilis, genital warts, etc., it will increase the difficulty of treating the above diseases.

3. Induce cervical cancer

Herpes virus is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. According to research, the positive rate of HSV-2 antibodies in cervical cancer patients is significantly higher than that in the normal population.

4. Inducing habitual abortion and male infertility

Genital herpes may also be an important factor leading to habitual miscarriage in women and infertility in men, so attention should be paid.
