Order OnlineWhat is Genital Herpes?
Genital herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1, HSV-2). It causes blisters and erosions on and around the genitals, accompanied by stinging pain and itching. It is transmitted through genital-to-genital contact, oral sex, and direct skin-to-mucosa contact. Mona offers medication for genital herpes. After purchasing your desired medication, you will undergo a medical questionnaire and a video consultation with a doctor. If deemed appropriate for prescription, the medication will be prescribed and shipped (private medical care).
Symptoms (Differences between First Episode and Recurrence)
| Item | First Episode | Recurrence |
|---|---|---|
| Severity | Often accompanied by severe pain, fever, and swollen lymph nodes | Mild and often localized |
| Duration | 2-4 weeks (heals from blisters → erosions → scabs) | Often a few days to about a week |
| Prodrome | Few noticeable prodromal symptoms | May be preceded by tingling or itching |
You can get genital herpes even without sexual experience.
Genital herpes can occur even without sexual experience through self-inoculation from oral herpes (spreading via one's own hands, etc.), mother-to-child transmission during childbirth, or contact with an asymptomatic partner. Infection is not due to being "unclean."
Symptoms in Men and Women
| Gender | Main Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Men | Blisters or erosions on the glans, penis, foreskin, or scrotum; pain during urination; swollen lymph nodes in the groin |
| Women | Lesions on the labia, vaginal opening, or perineum; severe vulvar pain; difficulty urinating; increased vaginal discharge |
About Testing
In many cases, a diagnosis can be made by visual inspection if there are typical symptoms. If necessary, a definitive diagnosis is made by testing blister fluid or blood tests.
Treatment
Treatment involves antiviral drugs (generic names: valacyclovir, acyclovir, etc.). There is currently no treatment that completely eliminates the virus latent in the body. The goals of treatment are to "shorten the duration of symptoms," "reduce the frequency of recurrence," and "lower the risk of transmission to others." The effectiveness and side effects vary from person to person.
| Treatment Method | Contents | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Episodic Treatment | Take medication for several days when symptoms appear. | For those with infrequent recurrences |
| Suppressive Therapy | Take medication daily and long-term to suppress recurrence. | For those with frequent recurrences / those who want to reduce the risk of transmission to partners |
Does Genital Herpes Heal Naturally? The Relationship Between Symptoms and Recurrence
Symptoms may resolve naturally within a few days to two weeks, but the virus itself remains in the body. Symptoms can reappear (recur) triggered by fatigue, stress, fever, menstruation, UV light, etc. Even if symptoms subside, the possibility of recurrence or transmission to others does not disappear.
Online Treatment Process
- ① Provisional payment and pre-consultation: Select your desired medication and enter the course of your symptoms in the questionnaire you receive after purchase (photos of symptoms can expedite the process).
- ② Online consultation: A doctor will conduct a video consultation to determine if a prescription is appropriate.
- ③ Same-day shipping (fastest): Delivered in discreet packaging with privacy in mind.
Precautions for Treatment
- This treatment is private medical care (out-of-pocket). Health insurance does not apply.
- Refrain from sexual contact while you have blisters or erosions.
- The virus can be shed and transmitted even when there are no symptoms (asymptomatic shedding). Condom use alone cannot completely prevent transmission.
- If you have systemic symptoms such as fever or malaise during the first episode, rest and do not overexert yourself.
- Pregnant individuals nearing childbirth should consult us in advance due to the risk of infection to newborns.
In these cases, in-person consultation is recommended.
- If symptoms are severe or there is difficulty urinating.
- If you are pregnant and nearing childbirth.
- If your immune system is compromised.
- If the diagnosis is unclear.
About Your Partner
Genital herpes can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms, so condom use alone cannot completely prevent transmission. Suppressive therapy can reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to your partner. If your partner has any concerning symptoms, please consult us together.
