Patient's question:
Pre-pregnancy check-up revealed herpes simplex virus. The doctor said there was no need for treatment since there were no symptoms, but not treating means I can't have a child. So, can I take medication myself?Doctor's answer:
As for viruses like these, sometimes they can be detected, and sometimes they may go away on their own. This is because viral transmission is highly related to the state of your body. Even if you take antiviral medication, the effectiveness may not be guaranteed, aside from the side effects. Therefore, it's right that you're not taking medication. Just focus on your regular meals and sleep schedule. Only when your immunity and resistance are normal can many viruses disappear on their own. Since you've already taken medication, it's not a problem if you haven't conceived yet. You'll need to wait for two to three months before you can conceive. Thank you.
