I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes and I have had my second outbreak. I noticed that my second outbreak was in the exact same spot as my first outbreak. I know that Herpes wraps itself around the nerve and waits for the next outbreak. With all the medical advances in surgery, such as the reattachment of a severed penis, arm, leg, etc. Can the affected area be surgically cut away to prevent future outbreaks? in other words can a doctor go in and remove the nerve where the herpes lays dormant and then reattach the penis? If this is possible would it leave one side of the penis numb? Or am I desperately clinging to a futile hope?

No there is not.
There is only medication right now to treat herpes symptoms. These medications don't prevent outbreaks, but they help the sores heal faster and lessen the severity of outbreaks. Also, stress is a major factor in herpes outbreaks. Try to relax and limit the amount of stress in your life.
The longer you have had genital herpes the less outbreaks a person typically has. I have had genital herpes for almost 6 years now. I haven't had an outbreak in nearly 3 years (knock on wood)! The first year is always the worst. The outbreaks are usually the most painful and they occur more often. Don't worry, I'm sure with time you will get them less often. Good luck!

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about five years back, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know loads of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/f1ICH everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This system provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

As others have said, herpes is caused by HSV (herpes simplex virus) and genital warts by HPV (human papillomavirus). They are different viruses with different symptoms and different treatments.

There is no surgery for herpes, however, you can get treatment to prevent/shorten attacks.
Go and speak to a doctor who specialises in genitourinary medicine for more advice/treatment.

No, because the virus retracts into the major nerve ganglia in your lower back. It can outbreak in any area in the "boxer-shorts" region as it progresses down the ganglia. This progression can cause a neuralgia (nerve pain) anywhere from your feet on up to your lower back, because it has infected that major cluster
