First Sign of Herpes – Cure it Right Away!

Published by under Cures & Treatment

Herpes is one of the many sexually transmitted diseases afflicting both men and women. Herpes can either be Herpes Simplex or Genital Herpes Simplex. Herpes Simplex is also known as the common cold or fever blister. It is caused by Herpes Simplex virus type 1. This illness occurs when type 1 virus enters the tissue of the susceptible person; then, later manifestations are caused by the reactivation of the virus which remained latent in the person’s tissues since the time it first entered.

Herpes Simplex may be localized or generalized. If localized, the first sign of herpes may appear on the mouth and gums, on the tissue of one eye (even involving the cornea); it may even appear on the genitals, or at the site of some skin injury as small blisters. If the signs appear in the mouth, the first sign of herpes is known as cold sores, while in other areas, it is known as blisters.

The disease may produce no symptoms and may pass unnoticed. Antibodies are produced; however, it only occurs during the first infection because the subsequent manifestations of the disease are different from those of the first one.

Once the person is infected with herpes, the person is going to go through a series of stages as the disease progresses. First if the Primary stage which begins as early as two days after the person has been infected or as long as 8 days after the infection. It is during this stage that the cold sores and blisters appear. The next state is the Latency stage where the cold sores and blisters disappear as if herpes is gone. On the contrary, the virus has already packed its bags and begins to travel from the skin going to the nerves located near the spine to rest waiting for the opportune time. It is at this time when a person must be careful because complications brought by cuts, wounds and other illness can reawaken the virus. After the Latency stage, Shedding stage follows then the Recurrence. Shedding stage is the time when the virus is reawakened and distributed to other parts of the body after it has multiplied in the nerves; and Recurrence is when herpes occurs shortly after the first herpes attack where the first signs of herpes – cold sores and blisters – still appear.

Unfortunately, herpes is not a curable disease. However, there are many treatments and medications available to remedy the pain and discomfort brought about by the first sign of herpes. These include vaccines, and antiviral pills and medications to help speed up the healing process. However, if these are not easily available, a person with herpes can either take aspirin, ibuprofen or acetaminophen as pain relievers. A cloth immersed in lukewarm water and placed over the sore or the blister and taking lukewarm baths help soother the pain. The most important of all is to keep the infected area clean and dry. For those afflicted with genital herpes, they should stop wearing tight fitting clothes and nylon underwear.

If you think you are manifesting the first signs of herpes, the best way to know if you are afflicted with the disease is to get tested for it.

Genital Herpes – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Published by under Cures & Treatment

HSV or ‘Herpes Simplex Virus’ is the virus which causes Genital Herpes. This virus is highly infectious and transmits from one to another due to contact with skin, like oral, vaginal or anal sex.

Causes of Genital Herpes:

The presence of HSV on the facade of the skin is enough to be transmitted to a partner. This virus is transmitted easily through the moist parts of the skin like the anus, genitals and the mouth. In a few cases, there are chances of getting infected even through other parts of the body like the skin or the eyes, which would be affected by ‘Herpes Simplex’.

Genital herpes does not get transmitted through cups, towels or cutlery, as the virus is short lived when is not on the skin. Once diagnosed with HSV, this virus is reactivated very fast and causes a ‘new bout of genital herpes’. This phenomenon is called ‘recurrence’. Once you are infected by this virus, it lives within the nerves of the skin, but there are no symptoms. This is mostly inactive, but it gets reactivated every now and then.

The reason for the recurrence of HSV is not known, but there are certainly a few causes which accountable for the indications of the recurrence of genital herpes. For instance, abrasion in the genital area could be at the time of intercourse, which could be a cause of recurrence. There are other causes like, stress, excessive intake of alcohol, falling ill and the genital area being exposed to strong sunlight.

Symptoms of Genital Herpes:`

In most cases of HSV, there are no symptoms at the initial stages and this in turn does not make the sufferer aware of the condition. It is to be noted that, the symptoms of this virus are not known for a long period of time and in some cases not known for years too. In case you face any indications of the infection initially, it might be between four to seven days after being infected by HSV. This indication which appears is known as the primary infection. In case of indications of a primary infection, the condition is known to be a lot more severe as compared to the recurrent infections.

Symptoms of primary genital herpes are; vaginal discharge in case of women, fever, red blisters which are painful, these blisters burst and leave behind ulcers on the buttocks, rectum, external genital area and thighs, pain while passing urine, in case of women there is ulceration and blister on the cervix and a general feeling of being unwell.

These symptoms generally tend to last for about twenty days. In case of recurrent infections the symptoms would be again ulceration and blisters on the cervix in case of women, red blisters which are painful and a burning or tingling feeling in the area surrounding the genitals before the appearance of the blister. These symptoms tend to last for about seven to ten days.

Treatment of Genital Herpes:

Treatment of genital herpes depends on whether the treatment is for recurrent infection or for the first time. In case it is the first time, the treatment is done by a GUM that is Genito Urinary Medicine specialist in case you are not able to meet a GUM specialist you should at least consult a general physician who would put you on a course of anti viral tablets. In case of recurrent infection your general physician would treat you with a mild dose as the infection is less when it recurs.

There is also an episodic treatment for 6 recurrent infections in a year. Besides, there is the suppressive treatment done in case of more than six recurrent infections in a year.

Incubation Period For Genital Warts

Published by under Cures & Treatment

Studies have shown genital warts to be the second commonest sexually transmitted disease. HPV1 and HPV2 are the pathogens that cause common warts. The same pathogens are known to cause genital warts too. These warts are highly contagious and spread quickly upon contact.

These warts may at times itch or burn or often have no symptoms at all. There also may be carriers of the virus who show no symptoms at all. However, the virus can still be passed on to others from such people. It often happens that men do not show any signs of genital warts but carry the virus. This gets passed on to their sexual partners and upon finding a suitable area for growth, it manifests as visible warts.

The incubation period of a virus is the time taken for the virus to show up as a symptom after the initial contact. The HPV virus has a long incubation period that typically ranges from three weeks to eight months. The average incubation period for the HPV virus has been estimated to be three months. However, there have been cases when the HPV virus has surfaced only years after exposure.

Medical practitioners hold varying views on the possible reasons for this. One logical reason however is that contracting the virus may depend upon a person?s immune system. Viral infections, though highly contagious, do not spread as widely as bacterial ones do. But as viruses like the HPV virus have very long incubation periods it is possible that they just remain latent and surface as soon as there is a weakness in the body?s armor i.e., the immune system.

It is very difficult to determine how a person contracted the HPV virus, as the virus has a very long incubation period. It is for this reason that medical practitioners advise safe sexual practices as the only method of prevention of exposure to the HPV virus.
