Common Symptoms of Genital Herpes

Primary Outbreaks

Initial symptoms include painful blisters, sores, itching, and burning sensations in the genital or anal areas. Flu-like symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue may occur.

Recurrent Episodes

Most people experience recurring outbreaks characterized by milder sores, often triggered by stress, illness, or immune changes. Recurrences can be managed with medication.
