Methods and suggestions for male diseases

Some male friends are definitely familiar with a disease, that is, viral herpes. This disease grows on the male genitals, causing patients to suffer pain, low self-esteem, and endure unspeakable torture. So, what exactly is this disease? Today, let's take a look at it.

[Experts explain: The main hazards of genital herpes]

1. Infect spouse and family members: Genital herpes is highly contagious. Not only can it be transmitted to partners through sexual intercourse, but the virus can also be transmitted to family members in daily life. If one person gets sick, the whole family is in danger.

2. Cause infertility or cancer: Genital herpes can cause disseminated herpes, herpetic meningitis, spinal cord nerve root disease, prostatitis, sexual dysfunction, and even induce genital cancer. In addition, herpes is also an important factor leading to male infertility.

3. Increase the risk of AIDS: In areas where AIDS is prevalent, genital herpes also provides a channel (breakout) and convenient conditions for the HIV virus to enter the human body, greatly increasing the risk of AIDS.

After being infected with genital herpes, patients generally go through an incubation period of 2-20 days (average 6 days), and then develop erythema and papules on the male foreskin, coronal sulcus, glans penis, and penis body, which quickly develop into clusters or scattered small blisters. After 2-4 days, the blisters rupture to form erosions or ulcers, and the patient feels pain, itching, and burning sensation. The course of the disease lasts for 2-3 weeks. It is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, myalgia, general discomfort or fatigue.

[Experts remind patients of common mistakes in treating genital herpes]

In the past, patients with genital herpes usually recovered and then relapsed, and the disease could not be completely cured. Why is the treatment of genital herpes so complicated and difficult? The authoritative experts of Shanghai Huafu Hospital explain as follows:

1) Being confused by superficial symptoms and not getting a thorough treatment. The conventional antiviral drugs and chemotherapy used for genital herpes can only inhibit viral replication, but cannot completely eliminate the virus. It is very easy to relapse after stopping the medication, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

2) Not receiving formal, scientific diagnosis and treatment. Some patients are dismissive or impatient during treatment, not following the course of treatment or using or buying drugs at random, which leads to drug resistance and recurrence of the disease.

3) There is self-infection or reinfection. For example, if the patient does not pay attention to personal hygiene, does not disinfect the patient's clothes and daily necessities that are contaminated with germs in time, and does not promptly examine and treat the sexual partner, then reinfection may lead to repeated attacks.

4) Traditional treatments are not thorough. Traditional treatments such as surgery, lasers, and drugs only target surface symptoms and are difficult to kill deep-seated viruses, which can easily cause recurrent attacks. This is a problem that traditional treatments cannot overcome or avoid.

The above allows us to understand the symptoms of this disease and some improper ways of treatment. In our daily lives, we should always guard against and pay attention to the occurrence of this disease. If this happens, we should go to a regular hospital for treatment and never let it go, as this will lead to worsening of the disease.
