What are the symptoms of recurrent genital herpes? How to prevent and treat recurrent genital herpes
Genital herpes is an incurable disease that is likely to recur and has a significant impact on the patient's health, normal life, and work. We must pay attention to the occurrence and development of this disease, and correct treatment is necessary to achieve better results. So, what are the symptoms and prevention of recurrent genital herpes.
When genital herpes relapses, the affected area may experience hot thorns and itching, while the damaged area of the skin may have some papules and pustules. In the future, ulcers and scabs may gradually appear. Generally speaking, recurrent genital herpes occurs around 1-4 months after its onset. The probability of recurrence of this disease is relatively high, with about 60% of patients having a possibility of recurrence. Therefore, we must do a good job in prevention and control in daily life. Firstly, we must do a good job in preventing infection. During the illness, patients cannot have sexual intercourse with their sexual partners because this disease can cause infection through sexual activity. Even if the patient's condition is treated, their condition will recur through sexual activity.
2. Patients must eat more antiviral active foods, such as barley, ginger, grapes, straw mushrooms, onions, apples, peaches, etc., And exercise as much as possible to improve immunity. Only by improving immunity can we better prevent disease recurrence. Moreover, patients should actively seek symptomatic treatment. Generally, simple physical therapy will not have a good therapeutic effect and is prone to recurrence. So at this time, patients can be treated together with traditional Chinese medicine, and the comprehensive treatment effect will be more accurate, which will also have a good effect on preventing disease recurrence. Patients can use local treatment methods such as laser, electrocautery, and freezing, and then add Chinese herbal medicine for comprehensive conditioning.
Finally, patients with genital herpes must avoid always eating spicy food and avoid seafood as much as possible to avoid adverse effects on their health and delay their treatment. During this period, they must mix their diet correctly and reasonably to ensure a light and nutritious diet. During this period, they should also pay attention to rest and not overwork.
