Genital herpes causes

The cause for genital herpes is the so called Herpes-simplex virus. Comparable to oral herpes the time of the primary infection can be in the past. The virus enters the body over the mucosa in the genital region or the oral mucosa. The body’s immune system fights and eliminates the virus in the mucosa regions but can not destroy the viruses which are hiding directly in the cells. That is the reason why the herpes agents can hide a lifetime undetected inside the body.

The virus reactivates itself as soon as the immune system of an infected person is weakened. Reasons can be irritations of the skin, hormonal fluctuations and stress. The newly developed viruses will then lead to a secondary infection, the visible genital herpes.

Genital herpes treatment

At this time genital herpes treatment focuses on weakening the virus, as it cannot yet be completely cured. The virus remains in the body and will cause new infections and sores. But by using a genital herpes treatment, you can decrease their frequency and severity. The focus of treatment is also on limiting the virus so that is does not spread through the body any further. Medix 24 offers Valaciclovir and Aciclovir for genital herpes treatment.
The symptoms are mostly comparable to oral herpes. The infected areas are irritated and itchy. Infected bubbles with encrusted gratings are also developing as a result of genital herpes in the mucosa of the vagina or the penis. A genital herpes infection can also abet contagions with other sexual transmissible deceases.
