how often do genital herpes breakout?

Question

without treatment how often would i have a breakout and how long would it usually last?

Answer 1

Every person is different. Some people have several outbreaks a year, while some people go years without outbreaks. Like B.J. C said, there are SO many different factors.

The first genital herpes outbreak, or initial outbreak, is usually the longest and the most severe. It can take up to a couple weeks to heal with medication, and even longer without medication.

Reoccurring outbreaks are usually much shorter and less severe then the first one. These outbreaks can take anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to heal.

Again, EVERYONE is different.

I have personally had genital herpes for 6+ years. My reoccurring outbreaks usually last around 5 days, but I've been outbreak free for over 2 years (without taking daily suppressive therapy).

Take care!

Usually depends on your age, how sexually active you are and your stress level. Stress is a big factor in Herpes Simplex 1. It is a virus which is actually in all of us, but only comes out in extreme cases of stress. Also, it can be contracted from another and transmitted to you.
A breakout can last for several days to a week at a time and you should refrain from any sexual activity at this time. If this is something that you just contracted, then you will get it more frequentyly, then say somebody that has had it for 5 or more years.

Answer 5

It depends on so many different factors that every person's experience can be different.

Some factors that will affect the amount of recurrences:

-whether it is a HSV-1 or HSV-2 genital infection (HSV-2 causes more outbreaks than HSV-1 genital infections)

-how long the person has had the genital infection --- outbreaks tend to decrease each year

-trigger factors: menstrual cycle, emotional stress, illness (esp with fever), sexual intercourse, surgery, and certain medications can all be trigger factors resulting in relapses

-prior infection with the "other" HSV can help to reduce the severity of the illness

As far as how long they last,

-the first outbreak of HSV-2 genital herpes can last longer than any future outbreaks (16.5 days for men, 22.7 for women -- mean not average)

-future outbreaks, if they occur, usually have a duration of 9.3-10.6 days for the lesion itself.

I tested positive for herpes type 2 about 4 years ago, when I was still in college and had a spupid one-night stand. I think a lot of women will say this but believe me I never did that sort of thing. I jus made mistake that one time and, suddenly, it looked like I was going to have to live with the problem for the rest of my life. The awful part was feeling I could never meet guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a person who has sores around her you-know-what? But after a friend showed me this video https://tr.im/XjdCR everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than twenty days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soulmate and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in fornt of many people in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots
