Any details on mild symptoms with herpes?


Recommended Posts

I've read that some people get mild symptoms that often go unnoticed. What exactly are these symptoms? Do they just feel a tingling/itching sensation, but never get the blisters? Or do they get mild blisters that aren't very painful?

I think I fall into the mild category. I've never had any pain associated with an OB since the first one. I can't even say I feel the tingling sensation. I itch, that's my only warning something may pop up. Usually nothing does. I think I may have seen one blister in the past 4 years.

Well, that's kind of a hard question to answer. I thought my OB was due to rough/constant sex. And we continued to have sex even though it was uncomfortable. I just brushed it off as being sore, so that may have made it much worse than it had to be. By the time I actually went to see a doctor, I was doubled over in pain. My lymph nodes were swollen enough to see them through my groin area. And holy hell blisters.. the sex opened them, talk about pain. The exam was so bad they offered me a local and pain pills on the spot. On a scale of one to ten (and I have a pretty high pain tolerance) it was a 10 for sure.

i consider myself to have mild symptoms. i was diagnosed in october. initially it was extremely itchy and it only hurt when i wiped or rode my bike. now the bumps are present but they are very small and don't itch or hurt.

There are two things at play here:

 

The varying levels of tingling/itching/burning/rash/etc

 

and

 

each person's tollerance to pain and how they respond to it...

 

So basically take any symptom of Herpes, and it can have a wide variety of experiences depending on both of the above ....
