A member asked:
What effects do genital herpes have on my overall health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally not much: Genital herpes generally has little effect on a patient's physical health, but may impact them psychologically due to the perception of having a sexually transmitted infection. Rare patients with underlying diseases may experience more serious effects from herpes.
