Herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which can be differentiated into two types or strains:

In the case of genital herpes, its clinical manifestations are usually the appearance of sores in the area of the vulva, vagina, cervix, anus, penis, scrotum, buttocks and / or inner thighs, plus a burning sensation and intense pain when urinating.
