What is Herpes?
6. Recurrences
As mentioned, the symptoms of genital herpes are likely to recur from time to time. The frequency of the recurrences varies from case to case, and some people might have several recurrences a year. As time goes by, however, the occurrences are likely to become less frequent. Any sores are also likely to heal quicker the longer the patient has had the disease.
There are some signs that can help somebody with genital herpes to know that a recurrence is likely coming. One of these is a pain in the legs, lower back, and in the buttocks. Another is a tingling or burning sensation at the location where the initial infection first happened.
