Even if you are unfamiliar with this muck, it means nothing. About 90% of the world's population carries the herpes virus, and, therefore, can infect you too. Some people in advertising imagine that this is a small pimple on the lip.
Anointed with the advertised ointment and was cured. Yes, it was not so. This is a virus, which was described by Hippocrates, and is translated from Greek - creeping. That is, getting into a cell, it penetrates into the structure of genes and, during cell division, multiplies with it. Is herpes dangerous? Certainly a terrible disease.
How is herpes spread
Any contact of an infected person with a healthy person: be it a shared towel, a comb, unwashed hands, kissing and intercourse, or just a banal sneeze.
Signs of herpes: stage 1 as with a cold - body aches, fever, stage 2 - itching, burning at the site of the appearance of a blistering rash.
The reason for the appearance of herpes: the virus penetrates to those who have weakened immunity.
If you do not deal with the treatment of the first appearance of herpes, then it will go into a chronic stage with periodic exacerbations. Chronic herpes is even worse, as in extreme cases, inflammation of the meninges can occur.
How Herpes Is Transmitted Now you know, let's talk about drugs that can "extinguish" the herpes disease.
Medicines for the treatment of herpes
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely recover from the virus. It is possible to block a disease that dormant lives in the nerve endings of our spine and comes out only when the immune system is weakened.
Today, there is just a sea of drugs: acyclovir or zovirax, valacyclovir or valtrex, famciclovir or famvir, alpisarin, Vira-MP, gelpin or brivudine, riodoxol, tromantadine, helepine .
Which one is right for you, it is better to find out from a good specialist. One of the modern innovations is herpes vaccination. Research is being conducted to help avoid contracting the herpes virus for several years.
Of course, it is better to engage in prevention. Namely, wash your hands thoroughly and have personal hygiene products, improve your immunity with tempering and a healthy lifestyle.
For genital herpes, wash out the toilet seat after you - the virus lives for about 4 hours on a plastic surface.
Every "normal" Russian will try to cure herpes at home, thinking something like this: if it is on the lip, then it’s not scary, if in an intimate place, it’s embarrassing to go to the doctor.
