Genital herpes can cause a series of complications, such as transmissible herpes, herpetic meningitis, prostatitis, proctitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and spinal nerve root disease. In AIDS endemic areas, the disease can also increase the risk of HIV infection.
What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
For the common clinical symptoms of genital herpes, experts said that genital herpes can also be seen at the urethral orifice, vulva, perianal, clitoris, vagina and cervical orifice of men and women.
Genital herpes is a soft accretion of genitalia or perianal, with no symptoms or only mild itching. What are the common clinical symptoms of genital herpes? Male genital herpes is mostly seen in the coronal groove, the penis neck, the glans and the inside of the foreskin; In women, it is mainly seen in the inner side of the labia minora, the groove of the hymen, the recess on both sides of the urethral orifice, the posterior union of the labia and the labia major.
Genital herpes has many forms, such as broccoli, nipples, chicken crowns, mushrooms and papules. There are also fingers, stripes, flat or irregular. Some giant condyloma acuminatum can be fists or bags. The base of warts is generally small and narrow.
Erythema, papules and water scars are distributed in genital herpes, with several, 10 or more, followed by pustules, erosion or ulcers. Accompanied by itching or pain. After lasting for at least 1 week to 2 weeks, the injury leads to dementia and healing. The most common symptom is that a cluster of large blisters contains fluid, which will cause painful ulcers after rupture, and will form scabs after ulcer, and then heal itself. This process may last for several days. But some people only show some small rashes and small lumps similar to papules on the skin. Some people also have other symptoms, such as painful urination, which can be manifested as vaginal fluid discharge in some women.
Prevention of genital herpes
(1) Patients with active genital herpes are absolutely prohibited from having sexual relations with anyone, and are prohibited from having sexual relations with anyone;
(2) During the treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and the spouse should also be examined if necessary;
(3) Care for local injuries should be kept clean and dry to prevent secondary infection;
(4) For those who are cured or have a relapse, pay attention to the prevention of cold, cold, fatigue and other inducing factors to reduce the recurrence.
At present, there is no special prevention method. Animal experiments show that vaccination with dead HSV vaccine or live attenuated HSV vaccine has immune effect, so the virus is closely related to some cancers, so routine prevention is not carried out. Recently, purified herpes virus envelope glycoprotein can avoid the cancer risk of herpes virus DNA.
