Treatment of herpes simplex virus infection in women

Female genital herpes is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus, and humans are the only natural host of the herpes simplex virus. Patients in the acute and recovery stages, as well as so-called healthy carriers who do not show any symptoms, are all sources of infection for the disease. The disease is mainly transmitted through viruses present in blister fluid, saliva and feces at the lesions. To be precise, genital herpes is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse; some are transmitted indirectly through contaminated objects; in addition, mothers with genital herpes can transmit the virus directly to their newborns through the birth canal during delivery, or if they become ill during pregnancy and their body's resistance is low, the virus can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta.

In addition, certain factors such as emotional excitement, fever, menstruation, sexual activity, etc., can activate the virus lurking in the ganglion and then descend along the peripheral nerves to the epidermal cells to cause local lesions. This situation should also be paid attention to to prevent infection.

Female genital herpes is often seen on the labia majora and minora, clitoris, mons pubis, cervix, and also at the urethral opening. After infection, many patients have no obvious symptoms, or only feel slight discomfort in the genital area; some patients will develop herpes (small blisters) or ulcers around the vagina, and even extend into the vagina. These ulcers are often painful and itchy, and are often accompanied by redness and swelling of the genital area (vulva); sometimes the lymph nodes in the groin may also become painful and swollen. In the first week of the disease, patients may experience influenza-like symptoms such as fever, headache or body aches.

Expert Tip: Genital herpes is a disease mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Once the disease occurs, the virus will lurk in the body. Therefore, regardless of whether ulcers or other symptoms occur, the virus can appear in the vagina for a long time. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventive measures in their daily lives, especially sexual hygiene. If you suffer from this disease, you should actively seek treatment to avoid infection.

The above is an introduction to the treatment methods for herpes simplex virus infection in women. After understanding it, we can better carry out treatment, but we cannot use drugs blindly. We must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, we must also take precautions in daily life, exercise regularly and improve our body's immunity.
