    Me and my husband had sex after 4 months, and he got burning rashes after sex. Why?
    My husband had harpes infection in his penis before 2 years, but now it is cleared. Last time when we had sex after 4 months my husband got rashes on his penis and he was also suffering throug burning sensation. And also a little skin of his penis has been peeled. What can be the reason?

    There is no cure for herpes---only treatment.

    I hope you have been using protection (a condom) even without breakouts, because he CAN pass the infection to you, even if there is no sign of a breakout.

    You BOTH need to go see a doctor, ASAP

    But we want to try for kids now, so we don't use protection. Its been already 3 years of our marriage and we don't have a child. My husband was going through the treatment and after the treatment was over and his reports came clear he told us to try for kids. *** help that what can be done because now I want kids.

    You BOTH need to go talk to your gynecologist about this.

    He needs to continue his treatment for Herpes, but you want to do everything you can to not contract it yourself, or you risk passing it onto your child during birth.

    You also need to work with your gynecologist to work out how to track ovulation so that you have the best chance of conceiving in any given month.

    I have the impression that you may not be fully aware of what genital herpes is and what affects it can have.

    Perhaps this can explain why we are adamant about your being tested now:

    Quote:

    What are the symptoms of herpes infection in the newborn?
    Some infected newborns develop skin or mouth sores or eye infections. When the infection remains limited to these organs, most infected babies develop normally, although serious permanent damage to nerves or the eyes can occur.

    However, herpes infections in newborns often spread to the brain and many internal organs. Infected babies may appear irritable, eat poorly and have seizures. Even with treatment, about 30 percent of infants with widespread infections involving the internal organs die, as do about 4 percent of those with brain infections (3). Many babies who survive widespread infections and brain infections develop lasting disabilities, such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizures, and vision or hearing loss.
    While there is a relatively low chance of the baby becoming infected, it is higher if you are newly infected or have your first outbreak during the third trimester. Also, is it a risk you want to take blindly or with all the information you can gather?

    Please, see your doctor and get tested. Work with your doctors to conceive safely and have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
