There are actually two ways to treat genital herpes

Genital herpes seriously harms the patient's reproductive organs, causes inflammation of the mucosa, often recurs, and is highly contagious. From the perspective of treating genital herpes, the most important treatment methods are local treatment and systemic treatment, and the most commonly used method is medication. In daily life, you should insist on using medicine rationally, pay attention to adequate rest, and strengthen diet adjustment, which will achieve good treatment results.

1. Local therapy:

The principle is to dry, astringe and protect the affected area to prevent secondary infection. You can apply 2% gentian violet solution externally, or use 10% bismuth subgallate (dermatol), zinc oxide ointment or paste, lithospermum parkii ointment, 0.5% neomycin ointment, or 0.25%~0.1% IDU ointment, 5% IDU dimethyl sulfoxide solution (for skin herpes), etc. For facial areas, 10% aluminum acetate or zinc-copper mixture can also be used.

2. Systemic treatment:

The treatment principles are: first, to prevent the activation of infected HSV or even to eliminate the virus; second, to regulate immunity and prevent recurrence. Acyclovir can be taken intravenously or orally, Livzonvir can be taken orally, interferon can be injected intramuscularly, and interleukin II can be injected intramuscularly. When treating recurrent cases, we use 3 million units of interferon produced by the Biotechnology Center of the Fourth Medical University for intramuscular injection once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment, for a total of three courses, and appropriately combined with the use of interleukin II, Levitra, or Bactrobactin. 95% of patients do not have a relapse.

Genital herpes treatment precautions

1. Pay attention to sexual life

Patients should be careful to avoid unclean sex or improper sexual activities. Patients with active genital herpes should absolutely refrain from having sexual relations with anyone; patients are prohibited from having sex during medication treatment, and their spouses must also undergo relevant examinations if necessary.

2. Attention to local damage

The patient may develop numerous millet-sized papules and blisters in the genital area, which may form erosions or ulcers after breaking, and the patient will feel burning and pain. Patients with erosion and ulcers should take care to keep the local area clean, dry and the blister wall intact, and avoid local scratching to prevent further damage. At the same time, patients can use isotonic saline for cleaning every day. Those who experience pain can take oral analgesics and provide mental comfort. For those with obvious pain, 5% lidocaine ointment can be applied externally or oral analgesics can be used.

3. Avoid relapse

Fatigue, alcoholism, exposure of the infected area to strong sunlight, rain, cold, etc., which may cause low immunity of the human body; or friction or damage to the skin, etc. may cause recurrence of the disease and increase the patient's pain. Therefore, after treatment, patients should pay attention to preventing colds, colds, fatigue and other inducing factors to reduce the recurrence of the disease.
