Herpes Symptoms in Men

The Most Common Symptoms of Herpes for Men

 

Accurately detecting herpes symptoms in men can be difficult and it helps if you have at least a basic understanding of the disease. Also known as HSV2, or simplex virus 2, genital herpes is a disease that is sexually transmitted and is one of two basic types of herpes. The other type is commonly referred to as coldsores, although its medical name is HSV1. Once a person has acquired HSV2, it remains in the body of the affected person for the rest of that person's life and is considered to be the more severe of the two types of herpes. Various conditions, including stress, can help to trigger a herpes outbreak, otherwise it remains dormant for a long time.

There are warning signs of genital herpes that can help to alert anyone infected, before an actual outbreak occurs. The most common one is an itching and tingling feeling in the area around the genitals and anyone affected may start to notice painful red lumps on and around the penis. The bumps then become blisters, which then become open sores. The sores will then scab over, which is the final stage in an outbreak.

There are several other herpes symptoms in men, including fever, headache, fatigue and a painful feeling when urinating. A man who is infected may also experience a swollen lymph node. The symptoms tend to last for a couple of weeks and typically appear up to a week after acquiring the disease.

If you do notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek medical help as soon as possible, so the pain and discomfort can be alleviated. Genital herpes does not mean that you are going to die, and in fact many people who do have it are able to lead completely normal lives.
