The main examinations for genital herpes include physical examination as well as laboratory tests. 1. Physical examination: doctors can find blisters, vesicles or ulcers around the patient’s genitals through direct visualization, or with the help of dermatoscopy and other instruments to assist observation. 2. Laboratory examination: including viral culture, antigen detection, nucleic acid hybridization techniques, etc. (1) Virus culture method: the specific operation is to take a certain amount of specimens from the skin lesions, inoculated in the cell culture medium, the experimenter needs to observe the cell lesions to get the results. This method is the gold standard of genital herpes examination with good sensitivity and specificity. (2) Antigen test: It can produce results relatively quickly, including direct immunofluorescence test and immunoenzymatic staining, as well as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, etc. The patient’s HSV (herpes simplex virus) antigen test is positive. (3) Nucleic Acid Hybridization (NAH): It is mainly performed for HSV-DNA, and its sensitivity and specificity are also relatively high. (4) Antibody test: patients with genital herpes are positive for HSV-2 specific serum antibodies. If there is any discomfort, you need to go to the hospital in time, and you need to follow the doctor’s instructions for better treatment of the disease.
