LGV (Lymphogranuloma Venereum) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by specific strains of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is a rare infection, but it can cause serious health problems if it is not detected and treated early. Symptoms of LGV can vary, but typically include painful sores or lesions on the genitals, anus, or rectum.

How Long Do LGV Symptoms Last?

The length of time LGV symptoms last depends on whether the infection is treated and how quickly it is treated. Generally, LGV symptoms will last for several weeks if left untreated, but the infection can be cleared up in about three weeks with proper antibiotics.

If the infection is not treated, the symptoms may last longer and can become more severe. The most common symptom of LGV is a painless ulcer or lesion, which may appear on the genitals, anus, or rectum. These lesions may last for weeks and can become very painful if left untreated.

Other symptoms of LGV include swollen lymph nodes in the groin, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and a rash or swelling in the genital area. In some cases, LGV can spread to other parts of the body, including the eyes, throat, and brain.

It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you have any of the symptoms of LGV. If left untreated, LGV can cause serious health problems, including infertility, scarring, and increased risk of HIV infection. A doctor can diagnose LGV and prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. With proper treatment, the infection can be cleared up in about three weeks.
