Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 infection. Clinically, it is categorized as a sexually transmitted disease and is contracted through sexual contact. Once the disease appears, it cannot be completely eradicated. The virus is carried for life, and may flare up when the immune system is compromised or after consuming spicy and irritating foods. The recurrence interval varies between patients; some may experience a recurrence once a year, while others may experience it monthly. Therefore, after the onset of this disease, it is crucial to seek proper treatment in the dermatology department of a reputable hospital. Antiviral and immune-boosting medications should be taken for an extended period. Additionally, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, exercise regularly to potentially reduce the recurrence of the disease. Furthermore, the disease is highly contagious during an outbreak, and it is essential to avoid sexual contact during this period.
