Bacteria are more likely to accumulate in women's lower bodies. If they are not cleaned in time, they will be easily infected with some gynecological diseases. If a female friend experiences itching and small blisters below, it is possible that she has genital herpes. It is recommended that she seek medical attention promptly and be prepared for treatment. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), mainly HSV-2 and a few HSV-1. It is one of the common sexually transmitted diseases. Genital herpes can recur, causing significant health and psychological impacts on patients; it can also infect newborns through the placenta and birth canal, leading to congenital infection in newborns. Therefore, this disease is also one of the more serious public health problems, and attention should be paid to its effective prevention and treatment. Treatment mainly uses antiviral therapy. The purpose of treatment is mainly to relieve symptoms, reduce pain, shorten the course of the disease and prevent secondary infection. Current treatments are still unable to completely eliminate the virus and prevent recurrences. 1. General treatment (1) Mainly keep the area clean and dry. It can be washed with isotonic saline every day. Those who suffer from pain can take oral painkillers and provide mental comfort. (2) For patients with concurrent bacterial infection, antibiotic ointment can be applied externally. (3) For those with obvious local pain, 5% lidocaine hydrochloride ointment can be applied externally or oral analgesics can be taken. (4) Psychological support: explaining the nature of the disease, the causes of relapse, and how to treat and deal with it, so as to enhance confidence in fighting the disease. 2. Antiviral treatment Recommended treatment options include: acyclovir, oral, 5 times a day; or acyclovir, oral, 3 times a day; or valacyclovir, oral, 2 times a day; or famciclovir, oral, 3 times a day. If it is a new onset of genital herpes, the course of treatment is 7 to 10 days; for recurrent genital herpes, the course of treatment is 5 days. Those with frequent relapses may need to take a lower dose for a longer period of time. |
