Herpes can recur in people who previously had an initial epidemic, particularly if they have HSV-2. Repeat outbreaks, nevertheless, typically last less time and are less severe than the initial outbreak. Even though genital herpes is a lifelong condition, yet there may be fewer outbreaks in the future.
If you experience any symptoms or your partner has an STD or indications of an STD, ask a doctor to evaluate you. A strange sore, a foul vaginal discharge, burning when urinating, or bleeding between periods are all examples of STD symptoms (if you have a menstrual cycle).
