What are the treatments for penile herpes?

Penile herpes is a common male genital herpes, which is closely related to viral infection and is contagious. There are many treatments for penile herpes. Among them, psychological therapy is very important before taking drugs to treat penile herpes. Patients should also pay attention to adjusting their mentality.

1. To treat penile herpes, the first thing to do is to get rid of psychological fear. Many people become overly panicked after suffering from this disease, thinking that it is impossible to cure it, and even feel embarrassed to see people. Being in this state of mind for a long time will put a lot of pressure on themselves, causing the patient's own immune function to decline, which is harmful to the treatment of the disease.

2. Male genital herpes may cause other infections. Such skin infections may occur on the patient himself or his partner. When treating penile herpes, the patient's partner should also be examined to see if there are fungal infections, trichomonas infections, bacterial infections, etc., to avoid recurrence of the disease.

3. Acyclovir is recognized as the best choice for penile herpes. Different methods of administration can be adopted according to the conditions of different patients. The most common is immunosuppressed patients. Such patients should take 400 mg orally each time, 3 to 5 times a day. If the condition is more serious, 400 mg/kg each time, intravenous drip, 8hl each time, until recovery.

4. Some people are too embarrassed to go to the hospital for herpes treatment, so they use antibiotics to relieve the pain. This is inappropriate. The speed at which drugs kill viruses is far slower than the speed at which they replicate. As a result, not only can the disease not be cured, but the virus will also develop drug resistance, making it difficult to completely cure it in the future.
