Symptoms of genital herpes can vary greatly in presentation, severity and duration in different people, and even in the same person during different outbreaks. The possible symptoms include:

  • Headache
  • Aching joints
  • Tiredness
  • Fever
  • Leg Pain
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Enlarged groin lymph nodes
  • Painful urination
  • Itching
  • Discharge from penis or vagina
  • Blisters, ulcers, lesions or sores on the throat, mouth, genitals, cervix , thighs, near the anus, on the buttocks and/or inside the urethra

If you think your symptoms are consistent with genital herpes, your next step should be to see a doctor or health care provider. Family doctors, dermatologists, gynecologists, urologists, and infectious disease specialists are all familiar with genital herpes, and can help you sort out your choices for confirming a diagnosis.
