Genital Herpes Signs may show up later on the genitals, after a person has already contracted the herpes virus from someone infected. In some cases someone infected may show no genital Herpes Signs on their body but can still infect others. Genital Herpes Signs tend to show up on some people and not as much as others. Genital Herpes Signs can be confusing for some people. Someone may have a fever or body aches which are genital Herpes Signs but mistake these signs of genital herpes infections for the flu.

The first most noticeable symptoms of having herpes are the fact that there will be small painful blisters on the penis tip and around the scrotum in men. In females it may be too hard to notice the herpes infection as occasionally the herpes are only in the cervix or so hard to find on the genitals they will be thought as something which will heal in time. Genital herpes tend to have many signs which can be confused with the common flu. The first signs of a herpes infection are body aches. The body aches tend to be in the thighs and buttocks of infected people.

Other signs of having an infection of herpes include having a high fever and itch or red bumps which may seem to some as a jock infection or yeast infection in women if itching is present. Since yeast infections can cause blisters to appear on males genitals they may be confused as something else as well. The signs of herpes which can appear in both sexes are discharge or painful urination, which can again be confused with other illnesses. Some people may go as far as to ignore the signs of a herpes infection because of embarrassment or denial. Some people may experiences headaches which last for long periods of time. The genitals of both sexes may become inflamed and sensitive due to the infection; this is a rather noticeable symptom as the body is trying to rid itself of the herpes infection.
