Medications for treating genital herpes are available. Experts explain that there are several options for medications to treat genital herpes, but because each patient's condition is different and the main cause of the disease varies, medication must be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor. The best treatment should focus on eliminating the warts.
1. Local therapy: The principle is to dry, constrict, and protect the affected area while preventing secondary infections. Examples include gentian violet solution, zinc oxide ointment, neomycin cream, etc.
2. Antiviral treatment: The principle is to prevent the activation of the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and even eliminate the virus. Commonly used drugs include acyclovir, valacyclovir hydrochloride, penciclovir, and ganciclovir.
3. Immune regulation: Prevent recurrence. Recombinant human interferon-2b gel has both antiviral and immune-regulating functions, making it suitable for comprehensive treatment of genital herpes accompanied by condyloma acuminata (genital warts).
The above information is provided by experts regarding the types of medications used for treating genital herpes. Experts remind patients that upon discovering their condition and undergoing treatment, they should maintain a positive attitude and not bear too much psychological burden. Early prevention, early detection, and early treatment are essential for maintaining health.
