What is HSV?
Herpes Simplex (HSV) is a virus that enters the body through the mucous membranes, usually placed around the mouth or genital area. Once HSV is inside the body, it attacks nerve cells near the skin surface. These attacks may or may not cause the outbreaks of painful blisters on the skin.
There are two different types of disease, called HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both diseases are very similar in their DNA. What differs is their preferred area of attack. Type-1 is generally settled in nerve cells near the ear that causes foci around the mouth. The Type-2 generally settles in the area of the spine with foci that occurs on the genitals or rectum.
HSV-1 are often asymptomatic; However, a number of symptoms may occur in or around or around them. Lees may occur and cause serious pain inside the mouth. Lesions that appear outside the mouth around the lips are generally referred to as cold bolts. If their immune system is strong enough to fight against viral infection, they will not be presentSymptoms and it is possible that there will be no blisters. Someone infected with type-1 is still contagious and can easily transmit this virus through kissing.
In addition to the mouth, HSV-1 can appear through the skin and eyes. Skin areas that can be damaged or weakened from eczema or other skin disorders are more susceptible to the focus. Infection in the eye is very rare, but maybe. The eye can be infected after it has wiped their hands as soon as they touch another infected area. This can only occur in one eye or both and the focus is very painful, which includes blisters on the lid with swelling and tearing the skin.
HSV-2 is the tension of herpes that attack the nagenital area in men and women. Symptoms of infection may include numbness or tingling into legs or genitalia, fine lymph nodes in the area of the weakness or small, painful blisters. Women tend to have more painful outbreaks than men and in vaginalAnd vulval areas, as well as the rectum, there are painful blisters. Men experience outbreaks at the tip or shaft of the penis and rectal areas. Type-2 is very contagious and can be transmitted from a person to a person through oral, vaginal and anal intercourse.
Once the body is infected with type-1 or type-2, the focus may occur at the moment. Many things can be stimulated by a focus such as fever, stress or hormonal changes in the body. Medical science is not sure why this happens, but the outbreaks tend to occur less over time. It was also found that two -thirds of people who are infected with HSV are not aware that they have a virus because they show no signs or symptoms.
