What are the early symptoms of male genital herpes?

I believe everyone knows that genital herpes is a relatively serious sexually transmitted disease. If a male friend suffers from this disease and cannot receive timely treatment, it will cause great harm to our body. Due to the openness of sexual concepts nowadays, many male friends will suffer from genital herpes if they are not careful at this time. So what are the early symptoms of genital herpes in men?

First point: HSV-2 infection mainly occurs in the genital area. The affected area first has a burning sensation, and soon groups of small blisters will develop on the basis of erythema, which are often seen on the foreskin, glans penis, and penis of men. Blisters can gradually turn into abscesses, which will rupture in about six days to form erosions or shallow ulcers, and feel pain. Patients may develop urethritis and have difficulty urinating. Most people have enlarged and painful inguinal lymph nodes, and some patients may have fever, muscle pain, and symptoms of meningitis.

Second point: Primary infection is mostly latent, most of them have no clinical symptoms or present subclinical manifestations, and only a few can show clinical symptoms. After the primary infection subsides, the virus can continue to reside latently in the body. About half of normal people are carriers of this virus, which can become a source of infection through oral and nasal secretions. Since HSV does not produce permanent immunity in the human body, whenever the body's disease resistance decreases. For example, when suffering from a certain febrile infectious disease, gastrointestinal dysfunction, lesion infection, menstruation, pregnancy, excessive fatigue, and emotional environment changes, the latent HSV in the body will be stimulated and the disease will occur.

Third point: The incubation period of HSV infection is 1-45 days, with an average of six days. HSV-1 infection mainly occurs at the junction of skin and mucous membranes such as the corners of the mouth and nostrils, and can also be seen on the face or lips. At first, there is a burning sensation and mild tension, occasionally accompanied by neuralgia. Erythema then appears, and clustered small papules occur on the basis of the erythema, which quickly turn into millet- to mung bean-sized blisters with clear contents. After the blisters rupture, erosions appear, which dry and scab after a few days. There is spontaneous burning, occasional fatigue, discomfort and mild fever and other systemic symptoms. Temporary pigmentation may remain after healing.

The editor would like to remind all male friends that genital herpes has a certain incubation period. If you feel any discomfort during this period, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. If the disease can be treated early, it can be completely cured, so everyone must not miss the best treatment time. I hope the editor's introduction will be helpful to you.
