Patient's question:
Sometimes small blisters appear on the foreskin, which go down in two or three days, but there is often a sensation of itching, and there is a lack of interest in sexual activity.Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, recurrent blisters may be considered genital herpes. It is recommended to visit the hospital to extract blisters for diagnosis. Genital herpes is primarily caused by the herpes simplex virus II (HSVII), a sexually transmitted disease. Currently, there is no medication that can cure genital herpes, and the main focus is on preventing outbreaks. Preventive measures in daily life are very important for genital herpes, such as avoiding spicy foods, smoking, and drinking alcohol, as these are detrimental to recovery. Drinking alcohol, in particular, can trigger this condition and worsen its symptoms, so it is essential not to drink alcohol once diagnosed. Consuming foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, and eggs, is beneficial for recovery. Abstain from unhealthy sexual practices, and ensure that sexual partners are also treated simultaneously to prevent cross-infection. The most effective method is still vaccination to boost immunity, along with regular physical exercise.
