Genital Problems - Alternative Treatment And Symptoms

Around 80% of people with genital herpes never know that they are carrying the virus because there are often no symptoms (or very mild symptoms which are almost unnoticeable, such as a slight itchiness or red patch of skin in the genital area). This means that many cases of herpes go undiagnosed. However, even with no symptoms, it is possible to pass genital herpes on to a sexual partner because the virus may sometimes be present in your genital area. nnIn women, genital wart
