What causes genital herpes

Genital herpes is a relatively complicated disease. The main manifestation of this disease is that the herpes virus only acts on the genitals, causing great harm to people's reproductive health. In particular, the impact of this virus can affect fertility. Therefore, genital herpes must be treated as soon as possible. Let’s take a look at the causes of genital herpes and how to treat it.

1. The care for genital herpes must first prevent its infection, especially in summer, when the temperature is high, sweating is frequent, and local scratching can easily lead to local infection. It is necessary to clean the genital area with pH 4 weakly acidic female care liquid every day. When local infection occurs, clean the area promptly with feminine care solution. You can also grind 1 berberine tablet into powder and add it to 200mL of boiling water, then wash the affected area after it cools down.

2. Avoid local scratching and do not use medicines that are too irritating. After becoming ill, you should pay attention to preventing colds, chills, and fatigue to reduce recurrence. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment.

3. Please remember to wipe from front to back after using the toilet, because the anus may bring a lot of bacteria, so please do not wipe from the anus to the genitals after using the toilet to reduce the chance of infection.

4. It is best to wash underwear by hand with mild soap, and do not use strong detergent or washing machine.

5. Please wear cotton underwear and try not to wear nylon or synthetic fiber materials to maintain ventilation and breathability. So wear less jeans and more skirts or suit pants.

6. Dietary changes can enhance immunity and avoid frequent fungal infections, such as eating less starch, sugar, and irritating foods (such as alcohol, spicy foods, and fried foods), and eating more vegetables.

Dietary taboos:

For patients with genital herpes, necessary dietary restrictions are necessary to prevent recurrence. Eating spicy food, smoking and drinking frequently are not conducive to recovery. In particular, drinking can cause the disease to relapse and aggravate the symptoms of the disease. Therefore, you must not drink alcohol after becoming ill. Eating more foods rich in vitamins and protein can help recover from the disease, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, etc.
