Herpes is a disease that consists of multiple rashes of purulent sores. The disease has many varieties. Most often manifested on the lips, with colds, inflammations. Herpes can occur on any area of ββthe body, including the priest. There are a number of drugs with which to treat the disease. One of them is Acyclovir. Instructions for use (drug price available) describes in detail the composition. But you need to use "Acyclovir" only after consulting a doctor, since the drug has side effects and contraindications.
Causes of herpes
The cause of herpes is a virus of two types. They differ in the way they enter the human body.
- First type. In this case, the virus is transmitted by airborne droplets if the virus is in the active phase. You can catch herpes if you sit on a public toilet, on which a patient previously sat with purulent herpetic eruptions on the pope. There is a variant of its own random transmission of the virus. For example, you can do this by touching your hand first to the lips, and then to the buttocks. Sometimes abscesses of herpes can appear without transferring. For example, during pregnancy, when the body experiences constant stress, and the immune system malfunctions.
- The second type. Herpes on the priest or other parts of the body appears only after sex, during which contact with the wearer occurs. In this case, its manifestation on the pope is venereal in nature. 80% of people have this type of virus. And most do not even suspect its presence, since it is in a "sleeping" state. Moreover, the virus may never manifest itself in a lifetime.
When herpes appears on the pope, this may be a consequence of a malfunction of the thyroid gland. In this case, the consultation of the endocrinologist is necessary. The causes of recurrence of herpes can be:
- stress and psycho-emotional exhaustion;
- excessive use of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine;
- diabetes, colds, HIV infection;
- thyroid disease;
- acute or chronic poisoning;
- long exposure to the sun;
- menstrual period;
- chronic lack of sleep and overwork;
- malnutrition or malnutrition.
Herpes in adults and children
Herpes in adults occurs most often against the background of stress, weakened immunity, impaired hormonal system. Also, herpes can be activated due to bad habits: smoking, chronic drinking, preference for high-calorie and fatty foods. In children, it occurs most often after colds, since immunity is still poorly developed.
Features of the herpes virus
The herpes-causing virus has one feature. It is attached to the nerve ending, and then for many years it is able to live in a "sleeping" state. The virus activates with weakened immunity, severe fatigue, stress, hypothermia. It manifests itself in the form of purulent skin rashes.
How does sleepy herpes choose a site of manifestation?
The focus of the onset of herpes depends on which nerve ending the virus has attached to. The sores that accompany herpes on the priest occur if the causative agent of the disease is fixed in the cross nerve joints of the pelvis.
Symptoms of the disease
Herpes does not appear immediately, but 5-6 days after viral infection. The onset of manifestation is impossible not to notice. First, the skin on the buttocks begins to βburnβ and itch. There are obvious prominent rashes that are felt to the touch. Swelling and mild pain appear. After this, other symptoms may appear:
- chills;
- heat;
- drowsiness;
- general weakness.
When the virus comes to the surface of the skin, small red vesicles are formed on it, located close to each other. Inside each is a pus fluid containing millions of viral bacteria. Therefore, pimples cannot be crushed on their own, otherwise you can infect others.
After self-bursting of purulent vesicles, all liquid flows out of them, and a hard crust forms at the site of erosion. You can not break it, so you need to sit very carefully.
Diagnostics
Diagnosis of herpes begins with a general examination by the doctor of the patient during an exacerbation of the disease. A dermatologist, infectious disease specialist and venereologist can determine it and prescribe the necessary treatment. Laboratory tests are prescribed:
- polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is taken from rashes on the skin only during the relapse of the disease with special brushes or tampons;
- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in which blood taken from a vein is examined to determine specific antibodies.
Treatment
Herpes on the priest, whose treatment is aimed at reducing symptoms and reducing the number of relapses, is a very "harmful" disease. If it is not treated, then the rash can be repeated 10 times a year. If you have cold sores, you need to see a doctor, but you need to remember that it is completely impossible to cure the disease. Although modern medications prolong remission for a long time and effectively relieve symptoms.
In difficult cases, if conventional methods do not give a positive result, vaccination is done. It mainly affects people of retirement age, because it is precisely their immunity that is most weakened.
When purulent rashes are detected, a complex treatment is prescribed, using the following means:
- Antiviral drugs, which include Acyclovir for herpes. They act directly on infected cells and destroy the virus during its reproduction. "Inosine pranobex" helps very well, which is simultaneously an immunomodulator and has almost no side effects.
- Antihistamines: Claritin, Cetirizine, and Desloratadine. Relieve itching and burning, accompanying the rash of herpes sores on the priest. Remove puffiness and improve well-being.
- Local funds. With herpes creams "Acyc", "Fenistil pencivir", "Zovirax", "Acyclovir", etc. help well. These drugs are applied as often as possible on a rash with a cotton swab.
- Herpes immunomodulators play an important role during treatment. They are prescribed between relapses of the disease and when vesicles with pus appear. Immunomodulators can be of plant or chemical origin: "Kagocel", "Arbidol", aloe juice , tincture of ginseng root, etc.
- Adaptogens. They are recommended for any period of the disease. Most often used tincture of golden root, Chinese magnolia vine and prickly Eleutherococcus.
When purulent rashes appear on the buttocks, it is necessary to more carefully observe the rules of personal hygiene. It is necessary to wear loose clothing made of cotton fabrics, use a towel hanging separately from the rest, temporarily refrain from sexual intercourse.
Herpes on the pope: treatment of pregnant women
When herpes appears on the pope in pregnant women, self-medication is prohibited. A woman can take vitamins, but all other drugs should be prescribed only by your doctor. Although the use of folk remedies - laundry soap, etc. is allowed. But caution does not hurt, since allergens should be avoided.
"Acyclovir": instructions for use, price and release form
"Acyclovir" - one of the best drugs for the treatment of herpes. It is an antiviral. "Acyclovir" is available in the form of tablets, ointments and a solution for intravenous administration. This medication is not an antibiotic. The composition includes starch, lactose and calcium stearic acid. The active substance acyclovir quickly penetrates into the affected cells, suppressing the disease.
Herpes viruses produce certain enzymes. "Acyclovir" actively interacts with them. It penetrates into the affected cells and integrates into viral DNA. Thanks to this intervention, the propagation of pathogens is stopped. As a result, herpes acne disappears. "Acyclovir" prevents the further spread of the rash.
"Acyclovir" for herpes costs from 15 to 160 rubles, depending on the country of manufacture and the form of release. For intravenous administration - from 1700 to 1900 rubles. With herpetic stomatitis, the drug is used only in tablets. With skin lesions, all forms of release are used.
Tablets are taken 4 times daily. The course is 5 days. Starting from the age of 2, the dosage is 200 mg for mild to moderate herpes. Up to two years, the dosage is halved. In severe forms of the disease, the dosage is increased to 400 mg.
Creams and ointments are applied externally (5 times daily) and only with skin and lip lesions. For mucous membranes and the vagina, they are not suitable. Intravenous solutions are used at 8-hour intervals. Dosage (from the age of 12) is calculated according to body weight.
