Patient's question:
Found it ten days ago, a few blisters made me a bit painful when I squeezed them, I'm using an anti-inflammatory ointment.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The onset of genital herpes is due on one hand to infection with the herpes simplex virus type 2, and on the other hand to a decline in the body's or local immune system. Therefore, treatment must address both aspects, namely antiviral therapy and immune system enhancement. However, the herpes virus remains latent in the body and is not easily eliminated, which is also one reason why genital herpes tends to recur. Thus, enhancing one's own immunity is extremely important. But improving immunity cannot be achieved solely through medication, which highlights the significant role of self-adjustment. Therefore, while actively undergoing treatment, you should also adjust your mindset, relax, and engage in appropriate exercise to gradually boost the body's immune system. By then, the likelihood of an outbreak will decrease.
