Herpes sores do not only appear on the external genitalia but are often accompanied by swelling and may spread into the vagina, reaching the cervix.

In some cases, these blisters can spread along the entire length of the penis. If the infection becomes severe, it may extend into the urethra, causing ulcers, urethritis, painful urination, and a burning sensation. There may be a slight discharge of pus, or in some cases, no discharge at all.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"a.007\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.8;\"><strong>Symptoms of herpes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.8;\">The initial symptoms of herpes often include a burning or tingling sensation in the area where the infection has occurred.
