What is Genital Herpes?
Genital herpes is an infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). It typically presents as small, painful blisters or sores in the genital area. After the initial outbreak, the virus remains inactive in the body and may reactivate periodically.
- Symptoms: Pain, itching, small red bumps, or blisters.
- Outbreaks: Can be triggered by stress, illness, or fatigue.
- Management: Focuses on healing sores and preventing recurrence.

Dr. Manali's Advice
The first outbreak is usually the most severe. Starting antiviral medication early during the "tingling" stage (before blisters appear) can often stop the outbreak from developing fully. Don't let the condition affect your quality of life—modern medicine allows for very effective control.
