What are the symptoms of herpes in men?

If men do not pay attention to maintaining good hygiene during sex and always indulge their sexual desire, their reproductive system is susceptible to bacterial infection and herpes. Because the disease is extremely serious and has a certain recurrence rate, patients must detect their condition in time. What are the general symptoms for men? The answer is in the article below.

Genital herpes is more common in men, and is more common in the male urethral opening, glans penis, penis, scrotum, coronal sulcus, arms and thighs. New rashes appear from time to time within one week of onset. The lesions reach a peak at 7 to 10 days, and then gradually subside and form scabs. It usually takes 18 to 21 days for the lesions to completely subside and normal epithelium to grow. Some cases may experience fever, headache, nausea, photophobia, and even neck stiffness in the first week of onset, which are symptoms of viral blood syndrome or even meningeal irritation.

After men accidentally contract the virus, some patients will begin to have some physical symptoms about 6 days on average, such as: one or more clusters of small red papules can be found on the foreskin, glans penis, coronal sulcus, penis, urethral opening and anus of men, which will then develop into blisters with thin walls and clear blisters. After a few days, the blisters will develop into pustules again. At this time, patients are prone to rupture of pustules due to inadvertent friction, forming serious symptoms such as skin erosion or shallow ulceration, and patients may experience pain and itching. In addition, patients may also experience symptoms such as general discomfort, meningitis, headache, fever, sacral nervous system dysfunction and neck stiffness when the disease attacks. In severe cases, patients may also experience frequent urination, painful urination and difficulty urinating.

At this time, you must take good care of your body. It is best to use topical and oral medications in combination for treatment in a timely manner.
