Genital herpes is categorized into primary genital herpes and recurrent genital herpes. Primary genital herpes refers to the first infection of the herpes simplex virus, with a treatment duration generally ranging from two to three weeks, after which symptoms disappear. Recurrent genital herpes refers to the recurrence of the condition after the primary infection lesions have subsided. Treatment typically leads to the disappearance of symptoms within seven to ten days. However, it should be emphasized that genital herpes cannot be completely cured, hence it is recurrent.
