Patient's question:
Recurring small blisters appeared on the foreskin, which then healed on their own. They kept recurring, and this time, as the condition worsened, I came to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination results showed no herpes virus, but the doctor said it was a herpes virus infection. I was given medication, and on a quick medical consultation, the doctor diagnosed it as dermatitis and prescribed a compound Huangsong wash and a topical cream for dermatitis. However, it didn’t work. The doctor said the results might not have been thorough enough, as I’m currently experiencing an outbreak. How could the test have missed the herpes virus? Please help me check whether these test results actually show the presence of the herpes virus.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description of the condition and its manifestations, from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it is suggested that the issue may be due to damp-heat accumulation in the lower burner manifesting on the skin. Treatment can involve taking oral medications that clear and resolve damp-heat in the lower burner, along with external washing. It is important to avoid spicy and fishy foods. The daily treatment for male reproductive system disorders primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. We hope that male reproductive system disorder patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
