Among these, HSV is responsible for conditions such as oral herpes and genital herpes.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere are two types of HSV: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 primarily causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 mainly causes genital herpes.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSymptoms include blisters and ulcers, and one of the characteristic features of HSV infection is its tendency to recur.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Route of Transmission<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nHerpes simplex virus (HSV) is transmitted through direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes of an infected person. Oral herpes is commonly spread through kissing or oral sex, while genital herpes is usually transmitted through sexual intercourse.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEven when no symptoms are present, the virus can still be shed and transmitted to others unknowingly.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Common Symptoms<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nHerpes symptoms include small blisters or ulcers at the site of infection, often accompanied by pain or itching. In oral herpes, symptoms typically appear on or around the lips, while in genital herpes, they appear around the genitals or anus.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDuring the initial infection, systemic symptoms such as fever or swollen lymph nodes may occur. In recurrent cases, symptoms tend to be milder, although this varies between individuals.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Testing and Diagnosis<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nIn addition to clinical observation, several tests are available to diagnose herpes by detecting the virus or antibodies.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThese include viral culture from blisters or ulcers, PCR tests, and blood tests for antibodies.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThese tests help determine whether a person is infected and identify the specific type of virus.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Treatment<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nHerpes is treated primarily with antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir. These drugs help reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent recurrence.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTaking them during the first outbreak or at the onset of a recurrence can shorten the duration of symptoms and prevent complications.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHowever, they do not eliminate the virus completely, and recurrences are still possible.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cant\">\n<div class=\"dim\">Prevention<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"usp\" ><br \/>\nPreventing herpes involves avoiding direct contact with infected individuals.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nUsing condoms during sexual activity and refraining from kissing or oral sex when symptoms of oral herpes are present are recommended. Washing hands after touching the affected area and avoiding sharing towels or utensils can also help prevent transmission.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTo prevent recurrence, it is important to maintain a healthy immune system through regular sleep, a balanced lifestyle, and stress reduction.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"yoyaku\" id=\"reserve\">\n<div class=\"title\">For Reservations and Inquiries<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For After-Hours Matters, Please Click Here!<span>\/<\/span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/message\/BL6BW4ALMJK7E1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"line_btn\">\n            Make an appointment via Whatsapp\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"box\">\n<div class=\"text\"><span>\\<\/span>For Urgent Matters During Clinic Hours, Please Click Here!<span>\/<span><\/div>\n<p>        <a href=\"tel:+62 21 8665 6830\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tel_btn\">\n            +62 21 8665 6830\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"parent":797,"menu_order":0,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd\/978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opd"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opd\/797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dymmedicalclinic.id\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
