Question 3

can you tell me what are symptoms of mild genital herpes?

Accepted Answer

Herpes simplex: Herpes simplex in the genital area may cause no symptoms in some people. In others, a few weeks after being exposed to herpes a person may develop fever, muscle aches ; pains, headache ; swelling of groin lymph nodes. The lesions may be preceded several days by itching ;/or pain. They start as red bumps which then develop into blisters. When the blisters break open they ooze fluid or bleed.

Question 4

are there any such consistent symptoms for "mild" genital herpes, how can i tell?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Herpes simplex blisters can range anywhere on the pain spectrum from being a little irritating to being extremely sensitive and painful.  Sometimes you may not notice any discomfort or the rash may just itch.

Question 5

i have flu like symptoms fever mild throat, do i have herpes from oral?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I think you are asking about oral sex.  When herpes is transmitted in this fashion it usually produces a classic rash with blister-like lesions which break down and form small very painful shallow ulcers.  This may be accompanied by fever, malaise, etc., but it sounds like you may have a cold.  Depending on the type of oral sex HIV can reach the tonsils if ejaculate hits the throat.

Question 6

sex on sun, if 6 days later i got itch in genital area & stomach pain for 3-5 days, wud herpes show with blisters or could i just have mild symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: The typical presentation of Herpes due to sexual contact would present with blisters within about 72 hours after direct genital contact. There are many other STDs that you can contract, however, with unprotected sex, aside from just Herpes. If you are having symptoms, even without the blisters, it is best to get tested. Best wishes.

Question 7

can u have genital herpes symptoms with no active sore. have mild constant burning, gyn said everything looked normal. maybe bubble bath irritated me?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is not uncommon to have a prodrome of burning, itching, pain prior to onset of herpetic lesions.  Often the acute exacerbation stops abruptly before lesions develop. Bubble baths are common causes of genital irritation.

Question 8

do my symptoms sound like herpes ? it all started with 2 bumps on my tongue sometimes white or clear yellow, now im having abnormal vaginal discharge and slight itching inside and outside vagina here and there, does this sound like mild hsv ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to guess: Many women have vaginal discharge, but some types of discharge are not normal. A woman may see normal changes in discharge before or after her period. Changes in discharge that may be an infection: a bad odor; vaginal itching or swelling; a green, yellow, or gray colored discharge; discharge looking foamy or like cottage cheese, etc. A doctor can check, if symptoms persist, recur or are worrisome.

Question 9

i think i have herpes, i went to the dr, he didnt really say if i had them or not, but i dont know if i have the symptoms or if its imaginary ?

Accepted Answer

Recurrent blisters: Happen with herpes in most cases, if no active lesions it is more difficult to say.   Blood tests can show new or previous exposure.
HSV Type 1 lesions are usually less severe, (cold sores), very common. HSV Type 2 lesions are more severe and numerous, particularly with first outbreak.  Anti viral medication can help decrease recurrences.
