Answer
Hello! Currently, there is no cure for genital herpes, because they persist in the body for life. When you have the disease, there are many ways to limit outbreaks, which are drugs that suppress the virus, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclorvir. These drugs help ulcers heal faster, and at the same time limit recurrence. Medication can also be used during or after an outbreak. However, for the drug to have the best therapeutic effect, the patient needs to use the drug exactly as directed by the doctor. Use only the medications prescribed by your doctor and stick to the correct regimen.
In your case, you should go to the hospital to be checked, after determining the condition, the doctor will give the best treatment. You can go directly to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for advice by experienced doctors.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
