How To Treat Your Genital Herpes Symptoms, Using
This Medicine Take control of Herpes
  • Genital herpes is a disease caused by the herpes
    simplex virus (HSV), which commonly causes oral
    herpes, an infection of the lips and mouth.
    Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted
    infection (STI). It causes herpes sores, which
    are painful blisters (fluid-filled bumps) that
    can burst and drain.
  • Causes of Genital Herpes Two types of herpes
    simplex virus (HSV) cause genital herpes HSV-1.
    This type usually causes herpes, but it can also
    cause genital herpes. HSV-2. This type usually
    causes genital herpes, but it can also cause
    herpes. The symptoms are often referred to as
    herpes or fever blisters.
  • Common symptoms for those with a penis include
    blisters on
  • penis scrotum
  • buttocks (near or around the anus).
  • Common symptoms for people with vaginismus
    include blisters around or near
  • Vagina anus buttocks
  • There are three main drugs commonly used to treat
    symptoms of genital herpes
  • acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir),

valacyclovir (Valtrex). All are taken in pill
form. Severe cases can be treated with the
intravenous (IV) drug acyclovir. Valacyclovir is
used to treat herpes virus infections including
cold sores on the lips (also called herpes),
shingles (also called shingles), and herpes
simplex (also called genital herpes) in humans
great. It is also used to treat chickenpox and
herpes in children. Valacyclovir becomes the
anti-herpetic drug, acyclovir. It helps reduce
pain and discomfort and helps wounds heal
faster. Valacyclovir is used to treat infections
caused by certain viruses. In children, it is
used to treat herpes around the mouth (caused by
herpes simplex) and chickenpox (caused by
varicella zoster). Valacyclovir is also used to
treat genital herpes outbreaks. Valacyclovir is
an antiviral drug. Valacyclovir reduces the
severity and duration of these flare-ups. It
helps ulcers heal faster, prevents new sores
from forming, and relieves pain and
itching. When are genital herpes treatments
available? Initial treatment. If you have
symptoms like sores, your doctor will usually
prescribe a short course of antiviral treatment
(seven to 10 days) to ease or prevent them from
getting worse. After your first treatment, work
with your doctor to find the best way to
administer antiviral therapies. There are two
options Intermittent treatment. Your doctor may
prescribe antiviral medication as a backup in
case you have another outbreak This is called
intermittent therapy. You can take it for two to
five days as soon as you notice an ulcer or feel
a flare-up. The sores heal and go away on their
own, but medication can relieve symptoms and
make them go away faster. Suppressive treatment.
Doctors call this suppressive therapy. For
people who have more than six flare-ups per
year, containment therapy can reduce the number
of flares by 70-80. Many people take
antiretroviral medications every day without a
flare-up. Taking suppressive therapy daily can
also reduce the risk of transmitting the virus
to a sexual partner. Antiviral drugs reduce virus
shedding, when the virus makes new copies of
itself on the surface of the skin.

  • Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted
    infection caused by a virus called the herpes
    simplex virus (HSV). Genital herpes causes
    painful blisters and sores on and around the
    genitals. It can also sometimes cause problems if
    first detected very early or very late in
    pregnancy. There are generic medications that
    can treat flare-ups, minimize symptoms, and
    reduce recurrences. Genital herpes is very
    contagious. Carriers can transmit the disease
    without any symptoms of an active infection.
    Signs of genital herpes develop 3-7 days after
    exposure to an infected person. Most people with
    genital herpes have recurrent outbreaks.
  • What are the symptoms of genital herpes? The
    first symptoms and signs of genital herpes tend
    to develop within 3 to 7 days of skin-to-skin
    contact with an infected person. This 3 to 7 day
    period is called the incubation period. In men,
    genital herpes sores (lesions) often appear on or
    around the penis. In women, lesions are visible
    outside the vagina, but they usually occur
    inside the vagina, where they can cause
    discomfort or vaginal discharge and may not be
    visible except during a physical exam. Sores or
    blisters can also be found anywhere around the
    genitals (perineum) and in and around the anus.
    Some people develop other signs of a genital
    herpes infection, especially in the early stages,
    including fever, muscle pain, headache (which
    can be severe), vaginal discharge or painful
    urination, and swollen and painful lymph nodes in
    the groin
  • Valacyclovir (Valtrex)
  • Valacyclovir comes in tablet form and is taken
    orally. This is a prescription
  • antiviral medication that can treat symptoms and
    prevent outbreaks of oral and genital herpes.
    Based on the overall HSV-2 infection rate we
    observed and the 8 risk reduction with
    valacyclovir, we expected to treat 38 people
    with recurrent genital herpes for one year to
    prevent a case of HSV-2 infection in a
    susceptible partner. For most initial herpes
    outbreaks and recurrent cases of herpes,
    valacyclovir works very quickly and provides
    relief in as little as two to three days. In
    general, the sooner you take valacyclovir after
    you notice your symptoms, the sooner the
    medication will go into remission. People with
    frequent flare-ups can take

  • valacyclovir daily as part of their suppressive
    therapy. It helps prevent future infections and
    reduces the risk of transmission to sexual
    partners.
  • Diagnose
  • Initial treatment When you are first diagnosed
    with herpes and have symptoms of an active
    infection, a short 7-10 day course of antivirals
    is usually prescribed. This can help relieve
    your symptoms and keep them from getting worse.
    If your symptoms do not improve during this time,
    you can continue antiretroviral therapy for a
    longer time.
  • Intermittent treatment when your symptoms have
    disappeared after the first treatment, continue
    with intermittent treatment. This is when you
    always have medicine on hand to treat a flare-up.
  • Suppressive treatment Taking antiretroviral drugs
    daily is a type of suppressive treatment. This
    is a precaution, as taking a daily herpes
    medicine can significantly reduce the number of
    outbreaks. Daily medication also reduces the
    risk of transmission. Once-daily suppressive
    therapy with valacyclovir significantly reduces
    the transmission of HSV-2 or genital herpes
    between couples.
