It causes not only physical pains to the infected person but
also emotional pains as well. But what has happened to you can
no longer be undone. The only thing that can be done now is to
prevent the outbreaks from recurring. You should not worry
about it very much after the first outbreak; the first outbreak
will be the most painful. After the first outbreak, the
recurrence will only happen fewer to some. To some, it may
happen 4 to 6 times a year.
However the effects of herpes to women are more painful and
have more severe results, especially for those that are
pregnant. So it is a must for women to learn to practice
healthier sex. They can just try to be wiser about how they
practice sex. If the women plan on having children, they should
be more wise about their sex life, because if they are not their
babies will be affected too. I'm sure that any parent would not
want to put their kids at any health risk.
Herpes virus is a great risk to infants because the disease can
spread to the infant during delivery. Because a woman who has
genital will have the virus on her birth canal and cause
neonatal herpes.
Another way for the herpes to be spread to the baby is when
she is kissed by an infected person during the babies first few
weeks of being alive. If the baby is kissed with a person who
has cold sores or oral herpes the baby will be infected. If a
person who had touched a person with a cold sore and then
touches a baby may cause herpes too, but it is a rare
situation.
If you are a woman who has herpes, you should not panic about
the health your baby. You should just be concerned and worried
so that your baby can avoid herpes. This is because according
to research that less than .1% of babies are born with neonatal
herpes from 25 to 30% of pregnant women with herpes.
The babies will be more at risk from neonatal pregnancy if the
mother has contacted the genital herpes on her late stages of
pregnancy. This happens because a newly infected mother will
not have enough antibodies during her late stages of pregnancy.
Therefore the baby will have no natural protection. New herpes
infection is also very active, so the chances of the virus to
be on the birth canal are very large.
