What Is Genital Herpes?
Genital herpes is a viral infection that is transmitted through sexual contact. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is of two types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. While both types can cause genital herpes, HSV-2 is more commonly associated with this condition. Genital herpes can cause painful blisters or sores on or around the genitals, anus, and thighs. Other symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes. Antiviral medications can help to reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks, as can many natural treatments, as detailed below.
