Genital Herpes Online Treatment & Help

Genital herpes is caused by the HSV2 virus that is being contracted through unprotected sexual intercourse, as well as other skin-to-skin contacts. The infection may stay inactive in the person’s body for a long period but can still pass on the infection to others even without the visible sores and blisters. Having oral sex with someone who has a cold sore will also pass on the virus and develop into genital herpes because of the similarity of the virus causing both conditions.

Once you get infected, you will observe that the condition is generally cyclic causing outbreaks for sufferers that may last for up to 3 weeks before it deactivates. The initial outbreak is usually more severe, then the subsequent ones with lesser symptoms. You will learn the triggers such as a weakened immune system, a poor diet or feeling anxious and stressed.

Up until now, there is no known cure yet for herpes (for both virus strains). If you get infected, you will have to learn how to manage it as it can’t be completely cleared yet.

Currently, there is no known cure for herpes (genital or otherwise) and so if you catch the disease, it will be a case of managing it, rather than clearing it completely. True Medical offers treatments that will help you deal with the symptoms and to help keep the infection under control.

Together with the treatments, you will also need to adjust your lifestyle, especially your sex life. When you get active sores, you have to avoid sex completely until the outbreak has healed again. After that, any sexual activity you’ll do should be protected. You should also inform your partner that the herpes virus can still infect, with or without the sores or blisters showing. You also need to take extra precautions if you are pregnant, because the herpes virus can be passed on to your baby and cause serious and even life-threatening conditions.

The standard tests for STI’s don’t usually show herpes, so you will need a specific test for a proper diagnosis. Once it is confirmed that you have herpes, you should be vigilant for triggers and work from there to manage the symptoms. Unlike other STI’s, herpes does not cause an increased risk of infertility or cervical cancer. The only thing you need to work on is how to control the symptoms.
