Genital Herpes
Genital herpes, one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, is an unpleasant and uncomfortable infection which can lead to painful blistering and ulceration of the genital areas. Some people affected by the condition find that the symptoms return again and again, while others may find that they only experience occasional symptoms, or never experience serious symptoms at all. It is estimated that eight out of ten carriers of the herpes virus do not actually know they are infected.
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus, which is spread by sexual contact. There are two strains of herpes simplex, with the first type – HSV-1 – causing milder symptoms such as cold sores. Symptoms can appear rapidly following infection, or may take months or years to show up.
Fortunately, genital herpes treatments are now available to buy online in the UK. Although genital herpes cannot be completely cured, the symptoms can now be treated and the virus itself can be pushed to remission. Genital herpes treatments available now include Valtrex and Famvir, which can significantly reduce the occurrence of genital herpes symptoms.
Famvir is a fast-acting and clinically-proven medication which can prevent outbreaks of genital herpes. If you take a Famvir tablet when you sense the first tell-tale signs of a herpes outbreak you can stop it developing into a full-blown flare-up.

Genital herpes, like other sexually transmitted diseases, is spread mainly by unprotected sexual contact. Any physical contact with an area of skin which has an active genital herpes infection can result in the virus being passed on. Prophylactics such as condoms can greatly reduce the likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted diseases but it is important to note that it is possible to become infected even without full sexual intercourse. For instance, genital herpes can be contracted through oral sex.
What are the symptoms of herpes?
The symptoms of genital herpes can include ulceration on the skin of the genital areas, discharge from the vagina, pain in urination, blistering of the skin, and feverishness. These more severe symptoms are usually associated with the first outbreak of genital herpes after it has been contracted. Subsequent outbreaks tend not to be so severe, but can still include sores, itching or burning, and ulcers or blisters. Typically, outbreaks last around three weeks – but with effective genital herpes treatment, these symptoms can be controlled.
Why do symptoms flare up?
The herpes virus can remain dormant in the body for a long time. However, it can be reactivated – causing a fresh outbreak of symptoms. The virus can be reactivated by various factors, including stress, tiredness, excessive drinking, friction against the skin of the affected area, and exposure of the genital area to direct sunshine. Genital herpes treatments can reduce the severity of symptoms, and over time flare-ups appear to become gradually less common.
Treating genital herpes
Genital herpes treatments are now available to buy online in the UK, in complete confidence. Although the virus cannot yet be completely cured, both Valtrex and Famvir can help you reduce and avert outbreaks of genital herpes symptoms, and can – over time – cause the virus to become inactive.
Valtrex is used to treat the symptoms of an outbreak of genital herpes symptoms. It is an anti-viral medicine, which can start to soothe symptoms within 24 hours and fully address them within a few days.
Famvir works differently, in that it acts to prevent an outbreak from occurring in the first place. It is important to take this genital herpes treatment as soon as you detect symptoms. It is available in a daily dose for those who suffer from very frequent flare-ups.
