The main symptom of HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) are small blisters (which may break open and produce painful sores) around genitals and the surrounding areas (like the buttocks, thighs, and rarely, inside the urethra). Other symptoms are cracked/raw/red areas around genitals, pain from urine coming in contact with sores, fever, swollen glands, fatigue, backache, and headache.

If you are told you have a bladder infection because of symptoms but it is really HSV1 will the next outbreak happen the same way?

It can. However, HSV presents itself in many different ways. Do not count on bladder symptoms. It would be a good idea to get on a preventive medication for your HSV. Remember, you can transmit HSV even when you do not have an outbreak.

Can hsv-2 cause prostatitis?

Yes, HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) can potentially cause prostatitis, although it is not a common cause. Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, and while bacterial infections are the most frequent culprits, viral infections like HSV-2 can also contribute to the condition. In some cases, reactivation of the virus can lead to symptoms affecting the prostate. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between HSV-2 and prostatitis.

How does viral shedding works in HSV1 and 2?

Viral shedding in HSV-1 and HSV-2 occurs when the virus is released from the skin or mucosal surfaces, often without visible symptoms. This can happen during active outbreaks, but also during asymptomatic periods, leading to potential transmission to others. Shedding can occur in various anatomical sites, including the oral cavity for HSV-1 and the genital area for HSV-2. The frequency and duration of shedding can vary among individuals and are influenced by factors such as immune status and stress.
