In the past, genital sores in people with multiple partners, unsafe relationships are often the manifestations of syphilis or softening of the orange. But recently, genital herpes is also a common cause of this symptom. In addition to the traditional transmission of sexual intercourse, this disease is easily transmitted through the beauty route.

Many bewildered because people do not have sexual harassment but still have genital herpes. They do not know that beauty facilities and beauty salons are also contagious. Lip tattoo is one of the most contagious lines, especially herpes simplex 1 týpe (HSV1). And the source of this spread is often overlooked, hardly anyone noticed.

The National Institute of Dermatology noted that genital herpes is on the rise in Vietnam . Almost every day, the hospital accepts cases because of this disease. The causative agent is herpes simplex virus with 2 types of HSV1 and HSV2. Type 1 usually causes cold sores in the mouth, due to infection from the mouth. This virus, when present in the mouth, can infect the genitals.

Herpes simplex can also cause neurological disease, meningitis . In AIDS patients alone, it causes more severe symptoms not only in the genitals but also in the anus, central nervous system and death.

Symptoms are usually itchy, burning, mild pain and appear small, clear, fragile vesicles, but also heal quickly. Therefore, if the disease appears in the mouth is often easily passed, especially in people who do not have sex with many partners.

When the virus invades, it will move itself to the posterior portion of the posterior spinal cord, reproduce in the genitals and permanently. When encountering favorable conditions such as fatigue, menstruation, drinking, intercourse ., some viruses from the spinal cord move outward causing symptoms in the genitals or other skin areas and then go away . Just like that, the disease recurs many times throughout life.

If symptoms develop in the genitals, the herpes simplex is contagious by sex. And herpes in the lips with the expression of vesicles become easily spread through saliva, wipes, and kisses.

For treatment , first symptoms must be detected early in the course of infection, ie about the first two weeks. If the infection is suspected, take the medicine immediately. The drug used in Vietnam has a rapid effect on herpes is mangoherpin with active substance mangiferin, which can inhibit the replication of herpes virus.

The drug is extracted from mango leaves, treated as an oral, topical cream. Take precautions, can take 10 days a month. Another type used in our country is acyclovir, synthesized from chemicals.
