Herpes is an infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), characterized by blisters and a tingling pain. Once infected, the virus resides in the nerves and often recurs due to fatigue, stress, UV light exposure, or fever.Fatigue, stress, UV light, and fever can all trigger recurrence.
|
Type |
Main virus |
Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
|
Oral herpes |
Mainly HSV-1 |
Blisters around the lips and mouth. Also known as "fever blisters." Tends to recur after fatigue, colds, or strong sunlight exposure. |
|
Genital herpes |
Mainly HSV-2 (sometimes HSV-1) |
Painful blisters and sores around the genitals and buttocks. A sexually transmitted infection that tends to recur. |
* Rashes that spread in a band-like pattern on one side of the body may be "shingles" caused by a different virus (→ [Online medical consultation for shingles]).
Course of symptoms | Early detection is key
|
Stage |
Symptoms |
|---|---|
|
Prodromal stage (several hours to 1 day) |
Tingling, itching, burning sensation. Experienced individuals recognize it as "the usual feeling." |
|
Blister stage (2-3 days) |
Red swelling, small clusters of blisters appear. Genital herpes can be very painful. |
|
Erosion and scab stage |
Blisters break open, form sores, then scabs. |
|
Healing (1-2 weeks) |
The most effective time for antiviral medication isfrom the prodromal stage to the onset of blisters. If you "wait until the blisters have fully formed to look for a hospital," you will miss the most effective timing.
Why does it recur? | Triggers for recurrence
- Fatigue, lack of sleep, stress
- Colds, fever
- Strong UV radiation (after beach, skiing, golf)
- Hormonal fluctuations before and after menstruation
- Weakened immune system
It's impossible to maintain perfect health at all times. That's whyhaving "preparations to treat it immediately, even if it recurs"is a realistic approach.
Mona Clinic's Herpes Treatment (Online, Private Pay)
① For those with current symptoms → Same-day prescription, fastest same-day shipping
After an online consultation, we prescribe antiviral drugs such as valaciclovir and ship them as early as the same day. Oral administration for approximately 5 days usually suppresses viral proliferation.
② For those with recurrent outbreaks → Standby medication for recurrences (pre-prescription)
For those who experience frequent recurrences throughout the year,we offer a pre-prescription service to keep medication on hand, allowing you to start taking it as soon as you feel the onset of symptoms(based on the concept of Patient Initiated Therapy, or PIT).
- By starting medication at the tingling sensation of the prodromal stage,the outbreak can be minimized.
- Also useful as a precaution before important events like travel, business trips, or weddings when you absolutely want to avoid an outbreak.
- When you run out of medication, you can have another online consultation and refill.
From "going to the hospital every time it recurs" to the peace of mind of "having medication in your pouch." This is the greatest value of online medical care.
* The doctor will determine the eligibility for prescription after an online consultation.
To avoid spreading it to others
- Blisters contain a lot of virus. Wash your hands after touching the affected area.
- While you have symptoms, avoid sharing towels and dishes, and avoid kissing (especially be careful when in contact with infants).
- Avoid sexual intercourse while you have symptoms of genital herpes. Condoms are recommended even during asymptomatic periods as viral shedding may occur.
- Do not handle contact lenses with hands that have touched the affected area (risk of corneal herpes).
When to see a doctor in person or a specialist
- First infection with severe symptoms(high fever, severe pain, difficulty urinating, etc.)
- Symptoms around or in the eyes(suspected corneal herpes → see an ophthalmologist)
- Widespread rash, currently taking immunosuppressants
- Genital herpes during pregnancy (requires coordination with an obstetrician due to the risk of mother-to-child transmission during childbirth)
