What are the symptoms of scrotal herpes?

Herpes can appear in many parts of the body, but if herpes appears on the scrotum, the harm will be greater. It should be noted that this may cause a wave of herpes, and the patient may develop prostatitis, proctitis, etc. Therefore, scrotal herpes is extremely harmful. On the basis of comprehensive care, it must be treated in time. So what are the symptoms of scrotal herpes?

First, the manifestation of scrotal herpes

1. Before the onset of the disease, there are often causes such as febrile diseases, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or excessive fatigue;

2. The vast majority of patients have no systemic symptoms; most patients may experience local itching, discomfort or burning sensation;

3. Herpetic gingivostomatitis is more common in children aged 1 to 5 years old. Symptoms include high fever, fatigue, sore throat, etc.

4. Vaccination herpes is often caused by the herpes simplex virus being inoculated into external injuries or normal skin, and the systemic symptoms are mild;

5. Herpetic eczema is often caused by infection with herpes simplex virus on the basis of other skin diseases, especially atopic dermatitis; the onset is sudden, and systemic symptoms are obvious;

6. Disseminated herpes simplex is more common in infants and young children with malnutrition, severe burns and immunodeficiency. It causes severe systemic symptoms and is easy to cause.

Second, Nursing

Because genital herpes occurs in a special location, some patients have irregular sexual partners and are ashamed, and some patients do not receive correct diagnosis and treatment from quack doctors, resulting in local ulcers due to incorrect treatment. Therefore, when patients come to the outpatient clinic for the first time, nurses should actively introduce themselves, arrange for them to wait in a special clinic, consult with doctors about their condition and treatment, and provide psychological counseling according to their specific circumstances.

During the diagnosis and treatment process, most patients worry about whether the disease will be transmitted to their spouses, whether scars will be left locally, and whether future functions will be affected. In response, nurses specifically introduce the successful experience of outpatient diagnosis and treatment of such diseases to eliminate their anxiety and distress, and make patients trust medical staff, so that they are full of confidence in overcoming the disease and actively cooperate with treatment with a good attitude. These are all self-care methods for patients with genital herpes.

Before and after the treatment of genital herpes, health care for genital herpes should be to quit smoking and drinking. Each cigarette can cause the human body to lose about 3 to 5 mg of VC, which is an important vitamin for enhancing immunity. Drinking is even worse, as it can cause the disease to relapse and aggravate the symptoms of the disease. Health care measures for genital herpes include eating less seafood. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and proteins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, etc. And do physical exercise at the same time.

Patients with genital herpes should keep it clean and dry to prevent secondary infection. Herpes on the glans foreskin can be fixed with a T-belt when active to prevent it from breaking due to friction when walking. Those who have broken and eroded should reduce their activities. Women with vulvar herpes should pay attention to local cleaning after urination and defecation to prevent infection.

Personal hygiene care for patients. Including lying position and clothing care: patients should lie on their backs with their legs naturally apart, reduce going out, avoid strenuous exercise, avoid local congestion and edema, and affect healing. Patients should wear loose cotton underwear to reduce local pressure.

For patients with herpes that have not broken, you can first apply or spray 5% povidone-iodine solution on the affected area, and then use a sterile cotton swab to dip a little interferon solution and apply it to the affected area. If the herpes breaks and there is exudation, first wipe it dry with a sterile dry cotton swab, then apply povidone-iodine solution, and then apply interferon solution.

Third, harm

The main harm of scrotal herpes is that it may cause a series of complications such as disseminated herpes, prostatitis, herpetic meningitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, proctitis, spinal cord nerve root disease, etc. In areas where AIDS is prevalent, the disease can also increase the risk of HIV infection. If the body is infected and relapses due to trauma, high fever, allergies, etc., it may cause complications such as myelitis, lumbar neuritis, radiating pain in the buttocks and lower limbs, and bladder paralysis.
