Question 26 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

A man has a fever and painful sores on his genitals. He has a decreased appetite and a swollen penis. A woman also has a fever and painful sores on her genitals. She has swollen lymph nodes and a headache as well. Which reproductive disease do they most likely have?

Answer
A
They both have herpes.
B
They both have endometriosis.
C
He has benign prostatic hypertrophy and she has pelvic inflammatory disease.
D
He has an undescended testicle and she has polycystic ovary syndrome.

Explanation

Painful sores on the genitals accompanied by fever are characteristic of a genital herpes outbreak. Both people have these symptoms, so the best answer is that they both have herpes. Endometriosis, benign prostatic hypertrophy, undescended testicles, and polycystic ovary syndrome do not explain painful genital sores in both people.
