Symptoms of genital herpes include the appearance of small blisters in the external genital area, accompanied by noticeable itching and pain. Pain typically becomes more severe after the blisters rupture, leading to ulcers or even erosion. Genital herpes has an incubation period of approximately 2 to 14 days, during which no symptoms are usually present. As symptoms are quite evident, individuals should visit the urology department at a hospital for examination and treatment.
