MonkeyPox: What You Need to Know

Monkeypox is a new infection in the United States and Europe but has been present in some parts of Africa for many years.

For most patients, Monkeypox is a minor infection with no long-term repercussions.  For some people, Monkeypox can cause severe illness to the point of requiring hospitalization and death.

Is Monkeypox an STD/STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection)?

Monkeypox can be transmitted through sexual contact (oral, vaginal, and anal sex). Monkeypox can be transmitted through non-sexual contact with skin lesions, through kissing, and through other close contacts.

What are the Symptoms of Monkeypox?

Symptoms of Monkeypox vary from person to person. In general, 1-2 weeks after infection, vague flu-like symptoms such as fever, malaise, headache, and weakness may appear. 

Lymph node enlargement  (neck, armpits, groin) may occur.  This is known as lymphadenopathy, an immune response to the infection with Monkeypox.

After infection, there is an incubation period of roughly 1-2 weeks. The development of initial symptoms (e.g., fever, malaise, headache, weakness, etc.) marks the beginning of the prodromal period.

Next, small bumps/skin lesions may appear anywhere on the body but typically would occur at the place of initial infection, such as genitals (penis, groin, scrotum, anus in men; labia, groin, vagina, anus in women).  These lesions can also occur on the hands, palms, soles, and other parts of the body. The skin lesions typically cause pain initially and later itching.  Skin lesions progresses through four stages—macular, popular, vesicular, to pustular. At the end of the process, the skin lesions scab over and resolve.  The rash usually heals within 2 weeks.

You can transmit Monkeypox to others as long as your skin lesions remain, usually 2-3 weeks after the infection. 

Shortly after the prodrome, a rash appears. Lesions typically begin to develop simultaneously and evolve together in any given part of the body. The evolution of 

The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks.

finally able to enjoy life again
by on Dec 16, 2020

Dr. Alex absolutely changed my life and restored my faith in doctors. When my condition first started I saw four different urologists over a period of about 6 months. All four either laughed me out of their office saying there’s nothing they could do to help, that my pain was normal, or prescribed me something that did not help or made everything worse. I prepared to live my life (22 years old now) with chronic pain that made participating in every day activities extremely difficult. Finally after getting the courage to start looking for new doctors again I found Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger and decided to give his office a call. I proceeded to see him shortly after my call, and now a few visits and months later I am finally able to enjoy life again. Dr. Alex took the time to do the tests that other doctors did not even mention. He took different approaches, gave well explained answers to all of my questions, and made me feel like there are some doctors who really do care. On top of all of that he has some of the most helpful and kind staff I have come across. I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for Dr. Alex!

Professional staff as well as the Doctor

Great follow ups
by on Mar 17, 2019

Overall, I am happy with the services provided by Dr. Alex and his office staff. They are second to none when regarding follow-ups and getting back to you promptly, which is definitely not always the case with specialists. Furthermore, living abroad, he has offered to continue to treat me via skype and through email, which has been hugely helpful considering the medical care where I live is not as comprehensive as in the United States.

" He found my source of testicular pain that was missed by a Urologist from my insurance provider. Although I paid to go out of network- any price is less than testicular pain. He is generous with his time and will not short change anyone for care." via Vitals.com Posted on June 4th, 2017
