Genital herpes is caused by infection with HSV-1 and HSV-2, and is a chronic relapse process. There is currently no complete cure. The purpose of treating genital herpes is to prevent relapse, alleviate the patient's clinical symptoms, shorten the course of the disease, and promote the healing of skin lesions as soon as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent complications, reduce viral emissions, and reduce the infectiousness of the disease. In the future, it is necessary to develop anti-herpes virus drugs that can alleviate the disease, shorten the course of the disease, inhibit relapse, reduce detoxification, and block transmission, and formulate individualized treatment plans.
