Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus infection. The transmission routes mainly include sexual contact, close living contact, and mother-to-child transmission. Clinically, genital herpes primarily presents as clusters of erythema and blisters on the external genitals, with local burning and stabbing sensations. Initial outbreaks of genital herpes may include significant systemic symptoms such as fatigue and fever. After diagnosing genital herpes, antiviral medications like acyclovir are the first choice. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to rest, and enhance immunity. Eating seafood is not a problem and does not affect the recovery and prognosis of genital herpes.
