How does one start treating genital herpes?
During genital herpes outbreaks, you will often experience getting painful blisters and lesions on the genital area. It is important for you to know how to treat the symptoms in order for you to alleviate the pain and also to reduce discomfort as well as speed up the healing process.
To start treating genital herpes, you will need to consult with a physician first to get the right prescription. Once you have the right medication prescribed to you, then you can help alleviate the pain and discomfort by using ice packs over the affected area. It will help reduce the pain and swelling. Keep the infected area clean by taking a warm bath everyday. Adding baking soda on the water may reduce itching as well as pain.
It is also important to keep the genital area clean and dry. So, avoid wearing tight underwears. Avoiding sex is also very important until the blisters have completely healed.
Another way to treat genital herpes is by taking supplements. This will inhibit the growth of the virus and will usually reduce the amount of outbreaks. |
