What is genital herpes?

Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection which can be caused by HSV-2, herpes simplex virus type 2. It can lead to painful sores, blisters or ulcers on your genitals and can even be associated with flu-like symptoms, which can occur during the first outbreak. Genital herpes can remain dormant within the body after the initial infection and can reactivate every so often.

What are the symptoms of genital herpes?

The symptoms of genital herpes can vary and can even be asymptomatic. Some signs indicative of genital herpes include tingling or itching around your genitals, small blisters or sores on or around your genitals, painful urination, fever, body aches and swollen glands. After the first outbreak, genital herpes can recur for milder and shorter periods.

What treatments for genital herpes are available from Pharmacy Planet?

Pharmacy Planet have a selection of antiviral medicines which can help to manage symptoms and reduce the recurrence of genital herpes. This includes Aciclovir, which can be taken multiple times a day for several days during genital herpes outbreaks and Valaciclovir, which can be taken up to twice a day for both acute outbreaks and long-term suppression.

Can genital herpes be cured?

At the moment, there is no cure for genital herpes. However, certain anti-viral medicines can help to reduce the rate of outbreaks and the likelihood of passing the virus on to others. Many people can experience fewer and less severe outbreaks over time, and some eventually stop having them altogether.

How is genital herpes transmitted?

Genital herpes is usually transmitted through skin-to-skin contact during sex. Even if there are no visible sores or symptoms present, it can still be transmitted – this is known as viral shedding. Using preventative measures like condoms and antiviral treatment can significantly reduce the risk of transmission, but they do not eliminate or treat the condition.
