Genital herpes is painful blisters and sores in the genital areas. It is a contagious sexually transmitted disease that causes pain, itching, and discomfort in the genital areas. After an infection through sexual connection, the virus slumbers in your body and can react many times a year. So the signs of infection also go away and come back from time to time. If you are infected with genital herpes, you can be contagious even though you may have no visible sores.

When you develop genital herpes, you may have blisters in or inside the anus also.

Mostly, it is the herpes simplex virus (HSV) that triggers genital herpes. The cause could be vaginal, oral, and anal sex or perhaps through skin-to-skin contact with someone who has open sores.

There is no cure for genital herpes, though ayurvedic treatment may help signs and reduce the risk. You can also use preventive meausres during sex to prevent the transmission of genital herpes infection.
