2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the early stage of the disease is hot and solid, with damp heat and toxic fire blocking the liver meridian; in the later stage, it is accompanied by liver and kidney deficiency. The treatment is mainly based on symptoms and signs, combined with tongue and pulse. Generally, this disease is divided into three types, namely damp heat, toxic heat accumulation, and kidney qi deficiency, and different treatment methods are given respectively.

1 Genital herpes, which belongs to the syndrome of damp-heat descending, is often seen with clusters of blisters in the genital area, with red spots around them, or erosion, slight itching, yellow and red urine, bitter taste in the mouth, thirst, red tongue with yellow and greasy coating, and stringy and slippery pulse. This is due to the habit of liking fatty, sweet and greasy food, spicy food, or being addicted to smoking and drinking, which damages the spleen and stomach, causing the spleen to lose its healthy function, and dampness accumulates in the body, which turns into heat, and the dampness and heat evil descends to the liver meridian. Dampness and heat accumulate in the lower part of the body and flow into the genitals, causing genital herpes.

2 The treatment method should be to clear away heat and remove dampness. The prescription is usually modified from Longdan Xiegan Decoction: Longdancao 10g, Yam 10g, Scutellaria 10g, Bupleurum 10g, Plantago seed (package) 10g, Radix Rehmanniae 10g, Angelica 10g, Akebia 10g, Raw Licorice 10g. In the prescription, Longdancao clears away dampness and heat in the liver meridian; Yam, Scutellaria, and Bupleurum are combined with Longdancao to clear the liver and benefit the gallbladder; Plantago seed and Akebia clear heat and benefit dampness; Radix Rehmanniae and Angelica cool blood and promote blood circulation; Raw Licorice harmonizes the various medicines. For patients with large blisters, erosion and exudation, add 30g of raw coix seed and 10g of Artemisia capillaris; for patients with constipation, add 6g of raw rhubarb (added later). The existing Chinese patent medicine Longdan Xiegan Pills is 6 to 8 grams each time, 3 times a day, taken with warm water.

3 Genital herpes, which belongs to the syndrome of toxic heat accumulation, is characterized by large and red herpes in the genitals, local swelling, obvious pain, enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, or low-grade fever, difficulty urinating, red and stringy tongue, and slippery and rapid pulse. This is due to unclean sexual intercourse, external infection with sexual toxins, toxic heat accumulation in the genitals, and accumulation in the local skin and mucous membranes.

4 The treatment method should be to clear away heat and detoxify, and the prescription is often modified from the Holy Decoction for Detoxification: 30g honeysuckle, 30g radix trichosanthis, 30g dandelion, 15g angelica root, 10g raw licorice, 30g isatis root. In the prescription, honeysuckle is the main medicine for clearing heat and detoxification; radix trichosanthis detoxifies and drives away rot; dandelion and isatis root cooperate with the main medicine to enhance the therapeutic effect; angelica root and raw licorice nourish blood and promote blood circulation, and harmonize the medicines. If the urine is yellow and red, and urination is painful and difficult, add 15g of verbena, 10g of asparagus seed, and 10g of light bamboo leaf; if the lymph nodes are enlarged and painful, add 30g of ground ding and 10g of prunella vulgaris.

5 Genital herpes, which belongs to the syndrome of insufficient kidney qi, is often seen in recurrent genital herpes. The herpes are dry and small, with no spontaneous symptoms, but they often recur. This is due to insufficient kidney qi and the evil of sexual poison has not been completely eliminated. The kidney opens to the front and back yin. Excessive sexual intercourse, damp heat, and prolonged sexual poison can damage the kidney yin. Over time, the yin damages the yang, which can also cause insufficient kidney yang. Kidney yin and kidney yang are the most precious substances in the human body, commanding the yin and yang of the whole body. When the kidney yin and kidney yang are damaged, the yin and yang of the human body will be out of balance, and the disease will easily recur.

Due to insufficient kidney qi, there are often soreness in the waist and knees, and fatigue. For those with yin deficiency, there are often five-heart heat, insomnia, premature ejaculation, red tongue with little coating, and a weak pulse. For those with insufficient kidney yang, there are often cold hands and feet, tightness in the lower abdomen, pale tongue with thin coating, and a deep and fine pulse. The treatment method is mainly to tonify the kidney, supplemented by detoxification and dehumidification. The commonly used prescription is Liuwei Dihuang Pills with modifications: 10g each of raw and cooked rehmannia, 15g yam, 10g cornus fruit, 10g wolfberry fruit, 15g poria, 10g zexie, 10g moutan bark, and 10g isatis root.

6. Raw and cooked rehmannia nourish kidney yin; yam, cornus fruit, and wolfberry nourish liver, spleen, and kidney yin; tuckahoe, zexie and moutan bark nourish the purgatives; isatis root clears the residual toxicity. If the yin is weak and the fire is strong, add 10g of zhenzi and 10g of anemarrhena; if the kidney yang is insufficient, add 10g of aconite root, 10g of cinnamon bark, and 10g of epimedium.

Internal heat due to deficiency of the three yin meridians, manifestations: genital herpes, recurrent attacks, long-term non-healing, less exudate. Accompanied by dry throat and lips, and fever in the five parts of the body. Red and stringy tongue, flaky coating, and weak and rapid pulse. Chinese patent medicines can be used:
