Why is genital herpes difficult to cure? What are the causes of recurrent genital herpes
Post Date July, 14 2023
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, which occurs repeatedly and causes great physical and mental pain to patients. Many patients experience psychological disorders. Why is genital herpes difficult to cure?
1. The mutation ability of herpes virus is strong
The herpes virus has a simple structure, which makes it more prone to genetic recombination and mutation when encountering drug damage, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment.
2. Improper use of antibacterial drugs
The non-standard use of antibacterial drugs affects the body's immune and endocrine system functions, while causing virus mutations. Treating diseases is different from cultivating viruses.
3. Multiple complications
The symptoms of genital herpes themselves alleviate within about half a month, but there are many complications such as prostatitis and ulcers, and blind medication treatment is ineffective without careful analysis of symptoms.
4. The virus is widely distributed
Genital herpes virus is widely present in the affected area, inside the herpes, exudates tissue fluid, and even infects the nervous system in the later stage. The widespread distribution of the virus increases the difficulty of treatment.
5. Long virus incubation period
Recurrent herpes has a latent period of up to six months, decreased immune function, virus activation, recurrence, and difficulty in treatment.
