Dr. Tony Ho answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Uncommonly: Herpes in a woman with an otherwise intact immune system is pretty much restricted to the classic locations, mouth vs. Superficial genitalia. However, it can uncommonly spread above the cervix to involve the uterus/fallopian tubes, causing scarring.
