What is genital herpes? Many young men and women do not know, but they are a high-risk group for this disease. After the onset of the disease, young men and women realize that it is a contagious disease that can recur and is difficult to cure. Many people feel very painful after falling ill because this disease is contagious. They not only have to prohibit sexual activity, but also endure itching, pain, and other discomfort. In order to prevent the disease from being transmitted to others, patients should understand the mode of transmission of the disease during the treatment process. The transmission mode of genital herpes is as follows:
1、 Sexual transmission
Sexual transmission is the most important mode of transmission of genital herpes. Many people are not aware of this disease in the early stages after falling ill. Clustered rash around the genitalia, untreated, and having sexual intercourse with a partner. When a partner falls ill, both parties will notice the disease and go to the hospital. In fact, the main mode of transmission of genital herpes is sexual intercourse. Kissing, hugging, touching, and other sexual activities are not contagious. As long as the patient controls their sexual desire and does not engage in sexual intercourse, the disease will not be transmitted to others. After being cured, the patient's sexual life can also return to normal.
2、 Bloodborne transmission
Like AIDS, genital herpes can also be transmitted through blood. If the mother suffers from this disease and is cured before and after pregnancy, it is likely to be transmitted to the next generation. If the father suffers from this disease, bacteria may also be transmitted to the mother, who then transmits the bacteria to the next generation. This repeated cycle will prevent the disease from being cured for a long time. Patients should be treated in the early stages of the disease, cured as soon as possible, to prevent disease recurrence, and to keep their genitals dry and clean.
3、 Iatrogenic transmission
Medical devices are important tools for disease transmission. If a patient uses an item to clean the affected area, the item is not disinfected, and another person uses it again, bacteria will attach to the medical device and parasitize in the next person. After infection, patients do not know why they get this disease. After inspection, it was found that the original medical device is an important tool for disease transmission.
