Genital herpes is an infectious disease of viral nature. The disease has been known since antiquity and well studied. The causative agent is a virus with an affinity and ability to affect the skin surrounding the nerve nodes (ganglia).The Latin name of the causative agent of HERPES ZOSTER, which is roughly translated from Greek means “crawling”. Indeed, typical herpes rashes like crawl on the skin and mucous membranes of the body. There are two varieties of the virus : type 1 causes intermittent eruptions, mainly on the lips and the upper half of the body, passed air-drop way. The second virus type causes genital herpes is localized mainly on the genitals and is sexual transmission. Once caught, the person already life remains a carrier of the infection. In the inactive form of the virus remains in the sacral nervous plexus. Under the influence of various adverse factors.  once hypothermia or Vice versa overheating of the body, reduced immunity, colds, the virus activates and causes the exacerbation of the process, characterized by a rash of small blisters filled with a watery content. The bubble soon burst and in their place, especially in the skin folds of the groin area are formed painful sores.

            by Itself, genital herpes is not life threatening disease but can cause a lot of trouble, especially women. The fact is that very dangerous  genital herpes  during pregnancy. Medics proved that half of the cases formed a  phenomenon “habitual abortion” when a woman cannot bear the pregnancy and quickly lose the fruit ,the culprit is genital herpes.

 Another insidious feature of the disease genital herpes is that the process may be asymptomatic, have no visible lesions, just the isolation of the virus on the mucous membranes of the vagina or the glans of the penis. In this case, the person  may not even know that they are infected, but the partner transmits the pathogen can cause the disease symptoms.

The worst-case scenario – when a pregnant woman unaware of the presence in her system of the virus that causes genital herpes, as it has powerful teratogenic (causing malformations of the fetus) properties. And if the infection of the unborn child was not in the early stages (that usually ends in miscarriage) after conception, and after 20 weeks, in 90% of cases children are born with severe developmental defects : microcephaly (underdevelopment of the brain), lack of limbs, or incomplete formation of the internal organs (heart defects, gastrointestinal tract), and congenital cataracts, even blindness.
