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 now.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 immunity. Therefore, treatment must address both aspects, namely antiviral therapy and immune enhancement. However, the herpes virus can remain 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 relying solely on medication to boost immunity is not sufficient, which highlights the significant role of self-regulation. Therefore, while actively undergoing treatment, you should also adjust your mindset, relax, and engage in appropriate exercise to gradually improve the body's immunity. By then, the likelihood of an outbreak will decrease.
