Sexual Health
Herpes virus can be indirectly transmitted through pollutants for the treatment of genital herpes, with priority given to antiviral drugs
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted disease that is difficult to cure, and symptoms should be treated immediately. What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
1. Primary Genital Herpes
The incubation period is approximately 2-7 days. Male patients are prone to developing foreskin, penis, glans, coronal sulcus, or scrotum, with a few occurring around the anus. At the beginning, one or more small and itchy red papules appear in the infected area, rapidly turning into blisters. After 2-4 days, they form shallow ulcers or erosion, which later form scabs and cause significant pain. They last for 7-10 days and heal in about 2 weeks. Accompanied by swelling and tenderness of inguinal lymph nodes, headache after meningitis, and neck stiffness.
2. Recurrent secondary genital herpes
Nearly 60% of patients relapse within one year after the first HSV infection, with a recurrence rate of 4-6 times in the first year and a decrease in frequency thereafter. Recurrent patients have mild systemic symptoms, shorter duration of each episode, less damage, and faster healing of scabs. Usually, the skin lesions subside within about 10 days. Primary or recurrent genital herpes can be accompanied by difficulty urinating, acute urinary retention, herpetic herpes, meningitis, etc.
3. Male homosexual HSV-2 infection
The clinical manifestation is severe anorectal pain, while other symptoms include constipation, rectal secretions, severe internal urgency, and fever. Some patients have blisters or ulcers around the anus.
4. Neonatal HSV-2 infection
Pregnant women suffering from genital herpes can cause miscarriage, premature birth, or death. During childbirth, the fetus can be infected through the reproductive tract or premature rupture of the amniotic membrane. It usually occurs around one week after birth. Mild cases can include oral, skin, and eye herpes, while severe cases can be transmitted by blood, causing central nervous system and other visceral lesions, manifested as high fever, bleeding, and spasms. Its mortality rate reaches, and a few survivors often leave sequelae.
How did it spread?
1. Item transmission: Due to the fact that infectious viruses can survive for several hours in humid environments, herpes simplex virus can also be indirectly transmitted through pollutants.
2. Sexual contact infection: Sexual contact infection with genital herpes patients accounts for over 90%. Including sexual intercourse, hot kisses, and body skin contact hugs. The skin and mucosa of the genital area are thin, with abundant blood vessels. During sexual intercourse, it is in an extremely congested state. Sexual friction can cause minor damage, creating conditions for the invasion of genital herpes virus, which is the transmission route of genital herpes.
