Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that involves the growth of blisters or a red rash on the genital area of a man or woman, accompanied by symptoms such as fever and malaise. Genital herpes can be triggered by a variety of reasons, one of which is impurity in sexual life. Men and women can get the disease if they don’t pay attention to cleanliness before and after sex, or if they change partners more frequently and don’t pay attention to protection measures during sex. However, sexual impurity is not the only reason. If the patient has a poor immune system, he or she may also get the disease if he or she comes into contact with something that has been infected. For example, contact with clothing or bedding used by genital herpes patients, as well as washing utensils, such as towels and basins. Also, since the virus can cause recurrent infections, people with the disease need to disinfect their underwear and towels when they are treated, otherwise they can get infected again. In addition, some traumatic injuries can also cause the disease. The virus enters the body through small wounds in the skin or cracks in the mucous membranes and begins to multiply in large numbers, with attacks occurring after a period of time. The causes of genital herpes are impurity of sex, poor immunity and exposure to contaminants, or traumatic infections, so it is important to pay attention to hygiene.
