Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It can cause painful blisters or sores around the genital or anal area, along with itching, discomfort, or flu-like symptoms during the first outbreak.
Some people may have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. The virus remains in the body and outbreaks may return, especially during stress or illness.
At our clinic, we offer confidential assessment, testing, advice, and treatment to help manage symptoms and reduce outbreaks. Antiviral medication can help speed healing, reduce discomfort, and lower the risk of passing the infection to others.
