Accidentally suffering from genital herpes, check the information can be learned that this skin infection is not untreatable and cured, but if not treated in time will also produce certain harm. Therefore, if infected with genital herpes, then we need to know more about it. Genital herpes occurs in the genital area of herpes simplex, is a viral infectious skin disease, Chinese medicine belongs to the category of feverish sores, it is different from herpes simplex that occurs outside the corners of the mouth, the vast majority of the infections through sexual relations. The disease is self-limiting and resolves in about 1-2 weeks. The goal of treatment is to prevent the next recurrence. There are no specific drugs for this disease, and the principle of treatment is to shorten the course of the disease, prevent secondary infections, and reduce recurrences. Genital herpes is not a disease of no; but not timely treatment of the raw. Reproductive. Vital herpes, there will also be some harm! So be actively treated! Treatment must choose the regular hospital! Conventional treatment of genital herpes Corrosive drugs, some national drugs also have corrosive, can only be used for wart sites, because corrosive can not be used on normal skin, so for subclinical infection of the virus and latent virus can not be cleared, the treatment will recur. Laser, microwave, electrocautery, freezing and other physical therapy, which is more commonly used in hospitals, but these are only to remove the visible warts, for the subclinical infection of viruses and latent viruses can not be removed, the treatment will recur. Conventional antiviral drugs and immune-boosting drugs, antiviral drugs may temporarily keep the virus in a state of inhibition, but without drugs will recur, immune-boosting drugs are effective in the blood and dermis, so for the surface of the skin and mucous membranes of the virus can not establish an effective immune response, the treatment will be relapsed. How is genital herpes caused? Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in about 85% to 90% of cases and by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in 10% to 15%. HSV is a DNA virus with a core of linear double-stranded DNA with a molecular weight of 160×10 Da, and a stereo-symmetric 20-hedral protein capsid consisting of 162 capsids. The HSV genome encodes virus-specific core proteins and structural proteins, including glycoproteins present on the viral surface, which induce the production of neutralizing antibodies. The two types of HSV-associated glycoproteins are basically similar in structure, except for gC of HSV-1 and gG of HSV-2, which have specific antigenic determinants, and the resulting antibodies are cross-reactive between the types.The HSV genome also encodes non-structural proteins, such as thymidine kinase (TK) and DNK polymerase, which are important for viral replication. Since these viral enzymes are different from cellular enzymes, some antiviral drugs that selectively inhibit viral enzymes, such as acyclovir, have been developed accordingly. Primary genital herpes is contracted through direct contact through sexual intercourse with a person infected with the herpes virus. HSV invades the epithelial cells through minor abrasions or fissures in the skin and mucous membranes, where it replicates and multiplies, causing inflammatory reactions such as ballooning degeneration and necrosis of the cells, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and stimulation of the immune response of the body. The virus that invades the organism travels up the peripheral sensory nerves into the sensory or motor ganglia of the dorsal roots of the cremasteric medulla and establishes a latent infection, and latent infection is the source of genital herpes recurrence. The activation of the latent virus is related to the viral thymidine kinase, etc. and the immune and non-immune factors of the organism. The latent virus is activated and travels down the peripheral nerve axons to the skin and mucous membranes, causing recurrence. What kind of medicine for genital herpes? I. Antiviral therapy Acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir for genital herpes can reduce symptoms, shorten the course of the disease, and reduce detoxification. (I) Primary infection Acyclovir 200mg, 5 times/d, for 7~10d; or acyclovir 400mg, 3 times/d, for 7~10d; or vasiclovir 300mg, 2 times/d, for 7~10d, or famciclovir 250mg, 3 times/d, for 7~10d (II) Recurrent infection It is best to start the treatment within 24h of the appearance of prodromal symptoms or damage. (ii) Recurrent infection Acyclovir 200mg, 5 times/d for 5d; or acyclovir 400mg, 3 times/d for 5d; or valacyclovir 300mg, 2 times/d for 5d; or famciclovir 125-250mg, 3 times/d for 5d (c) Patients with frequent relapses (more than 6 relapses in 1 year) To minimize the number of relapses, suppressant therapy can be used. Acyclovir 400mg, orally, twice/d; or valacyclovir 300mg, orally, once/d; or famciclovir 125-250mg, orally, twice/d. All of the above drugs need to be taken for a long period of time, usually for 4 months to 1 year. (iv) Severe infection Refers to those with severe symptoms of primary infection or extensive skin lesions. Acyclovir 5mg~10mg/kg body weight each time, intravenous drip, 1 time/8h, with 5~7d or until clinical symptoms subside. (E) Genital herpes occurring in immunodeficient people can be treated according to the above program, if necessary, can be appropriate to extend the course of treatment. (F) Herpes in pregnancy, we need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of mother and child to choose the appropriate antiviral drugs and programs. Currently, it is advocated that pregnant women with first-episode genital herpes can be treated with oral acyclovir; those with serious life-threatening complications should be treated with intravenous acyclovir; for pregnant women with frequent recurrences or recent infections of genital herpes, at full term, they can be treated with acyclovir to minimize the emergence of active damage, thus lowering the rate of cesarean section; for pregnant women with a history of recurrent genital herpes but no signs of recurrence at near full term, they can be treated without acyclovir. Pregnant women with a previous history of recurrent genital herpes but no signs of recurrence at near term may be treated without acyclovir. (vii) Neonatal herpes Acyclovir 30-60mg/(kg.d) IV for 10-21 days.
