Health Complications With Genital Herpes
from:Genital herpes in some people may never show symptoms, but for
others, the symptoms become so severe that complications
develop, especially if sores or herpes blisters appear in other
areas of the body.
Cold sores on the lips, called "herpes labialis", are normally
mild and may be considered a mere nuisance. But if these become
prolonged, frequent, or severe, the use of antiviral treatments
is recommended.
Blisters on the hands and fingers can also occur and it is
called "herpetic whitlow". Since the hands can practically reach
all parts of the body, it has the greatest capacity to spread
the virus. To prevent such a disaster, the hands must be covered
with plastic or rubber gloves.
There can be blisters on the anus, too. The infection is called
"herpes proctitis". This infection is usually more painful and
more distressing than genital herpes.
The eyes, especially that of the newborn, is also susceptible to
the herpes virus. The infection is called "herpes keratitis" or
"ocular herpes". When this happens, or even when you only feel a
painful irritation in your eyes, consult the doctor immediately.
If ignored, herpes keratitis could lead to blindness.
Women who experience genital herpes outbreaks may also have
vaginal yeast infections, called "vulvovaginal dandidiasis".
There will be swelling, itching, and pain when the woman
urinates or engages in a sexual activity. This is due to the
presence of too many yeast organisms in the vagina. If you have
vaginal yeast infections, it doesn't mean that you also have
genital herpes. The excess growth of yeast occurs for many
reasons, such as when the woman is taking antibiotics or birth
control pills, or when she is pregnant, or when she is wearing
tight body-hugging clothes. Fortunately, with good hygiene, this
type of infection disappears on its own.
Sometimes, the genital herpes virus can infect the cerebrospinal
fluid and the tissues that surround the brain. This will result
to meningitis and encephalitis. Meningitis is life-threatening
especially when these occur: changes in vision, photophobia,
drowsiness, bulging on the baby's head, and seizures.
Encephalitis happens when the brain becomes swollen. It is also
a life-threatening complication and have similar symptoms to
that of meningitis. It can also lead to coma.
Other internal organs, such as the joints, lungs, and liver, may
suffer complications when a person has genital herpes. These
complications occur in people with ineffective immune systems,
such as those with HIV, diabetes or cancer and those who are
undergoing chemotherapy.
To avoid complications, you must again recall that HSV survives
in mucus and may affect any part of the body where mucus is
found.
