Press Release Body: Fl, USA, May 26,2008...............It can be difficult to figure
out what the herpes male symptoms actually are if you are uneducated about the
disease. However, once the disease is understood, detecting whether or not you are a
carrier can be relatively easy.

There are two main types of herpes: HSV-1 and HSV-2. What many people do not
realize, however, is that both types can infect the genital region. While the first
type is known more commonly considered a cold sore, HSV-1 can also be a very mild
version of genital herpes, where HSV-2 is more severe. No matter which type you may
be dealing with, there are ways to detect it and control it. Learning more about the
disease and constantly being aware of your lifestyle can help you figure out what
herpes symptoms in men are.

Male herpes symptoms usually begin with an itching or tingling sensation in the
genital location. Following this first warning sign, the infected area may become
swollen, eventually producing red bumps on the penis, anus or buttocks. These red
bumps will gradually turn to blisters, and then into more painful, open sores. The
healing process begins once these open sores begin to scab over.

Other herpes symptoms in men can be burning during urination, swollen lymph nodes in
the groin area, constipation, lack of energy, fever and headache. If you begin to
feel suffer from any of these symptoms after being sexually active with an
unfamiliar partner, you might have contracted the disease.

A good thing to remember is that your herpes male symptoms can begin anywhere from 3
to 7 days after contact with an infected person. Stay highly aware of your sexual
partners and when you begin to suffer from symptoms.

By paying attention to herpes male symptoms, it is possible to keep the disease and
your outbreaks under control. In most cases, the male herpes symptoms are much more
mild during recurring outbreaks than they were during the initial outbreak. The pain
and discomfort from a recurrent outbreak will most likely last fewer days. Depending
on the person, however, recurring outbreaks can resemble the first, although it is
very rare.

It is important to see your doctor right away for treatment for the infection if you
find yourself suffering from any herpes male symptoms. Genital herpes can be managed
quite effectively if your doctor examines the male herpes symptoms soon after you
become aware of them. Suffering from the disease does not mean that life, as you
know it will end. You can still live a normal and active life, both outside and
inside the bedroom.

With this said, the psychological effects can become a problem. Men have been known
to become extremely depressed, due to fear of having more outbreaks or infecting
their partner. By learning about the true risks of genital herpes, you can start to
consider male herpes symptoms and outbreaks a minor nuisance instead of something to
be feared.

Once you have been diagnosed as a carrier of genital herpes, the herpes symptoms in
men can be treated on a regular basis. There are many options for treatments ranging
from prescriptions to oral supplements to over-the-counter topical applications..

Great ways to make your herpes male symptoms more bearable are by using unscented
soaps (without dyes and perfumes), wearing loose and more comfortable clothing
(allow the area to breathe), using cool clothes to soothe discomfort, and keeping
away from extreme heat. To dull any pain, you can also take over-the-counter meds
such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

Your doctor can also show you the vast types of prescription drugs used to treat the
disease as well. There are even a variety of herbal treatments as well. Many topical
creams can be applied to the affected area during an outbreak, allowing you to get
relief without side effects you may have from prescription medications. Other ways
to manage herpes is by using a condom each time you have sex between outbreaks. As a
general rule, it is best to avoid intercourse during an outbreak.

Remember: the best way to manage male herpes symptoms and outbreaks is to stay aware
and educated about your body and the disease itself. At the first sign of symptoms,
see your doctor for treatment and future treatment options. There's no need to fear
herpes-an active lifestyle and rewarding sex life are still possible. Staying aware
will help you keep it under control.
