Genital Herpes Treatment: Discreet and Effective Treatment at MedCare Health Clinic

Genital herpes, a prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), can be managed effectively with professional care. MedCare Health Clinic offers both in-person and online services for the diagnosis and treatment of genital herpes, ensuring confidentiality and professionalism throughout your treatment journey.

Understanding Genital Herpes

Genital herpes is primarily caused by the HSV-2 strain, although HSV-1 (typically responsible for cold sores) can also cause it. Symptoms include painful blisters or ulcers at the genital or anal area, itching, and pain during urination. However, many individuals may not exhibit noticeable symptoms or may mistake them for another skin condition.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Accurate diagnosis often involves a physical examination and swab tests of the affected area. At MedCare Health Clinic, we provide these diagnostic services with utmost discretion. For the treatment of genital herpes, antiviral medication is the primary method. Aciclovir 400mg, an effective antiviral drug, is commonly prescribed to reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks. It can also be used as a suppressive treatment to reduce the frequency of outbreaks and the risk of virus transmission

Online Consultation and Treatment Ordering

Recognising the need for privacy in managing STIs, we offer an online consultation service at MedCare Health Clinic. You can discreetly consult with our qualified medical professionals and order your treatment online. Our clinic offers a comprehensive treatment approach, providing both oral antiviral tablets and topical anaesthetic gels, tailored for those previously diagnosed with genital herpes. Our goal is to manage outbreaks effectively and to have treatments readily available for future episodes.

The Importance of Treatment

Prompt treatment of genital herpes is crucial to manage symptoms, prevent frequent recurrences, and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others. While there is no cure for herpes, effective management with antiviral medication like Aciclovir can significantly improve quality of life.

How Our Treatments Work

Our oral antiviral medications, including options like Aciclovir, are designed to mitigate the severity and duration of herpes outbreaks. While they do not cure the virus, they can significantly shorten outbreak periods. Additionally, our topical anaesthetic gels offer symptomatic relief by numbing the affected area, thus aiding in pain management.

Our Commitment to Confidentiality and Professional Care

At MedCare Health Clinic, we uphold the highest standards of patient confidentiality and professional care. Our team is well-versed in the latest NICE and CKS guidelines, ensuring that the treatments we offer are both current and effective. We provide empathetic, non-judgmental care and support throughout your treatment process.

Safety and Side Effects

Like all medications, our treatments come with potential side effects. Commonly reported ones for oral antivirals include gastrointestinal discomfort, dizziness, and skin sensitivity, among others. The anaesthetic gel might cause local numbness or dizziness. It’s crucial to consult the Patient Information Leaflet for detailed guidance on side effects and usage

Important Considerations

We focus on treating genital herpes around the genital area. However, vigilance for worsening symptoms or ineffective treatment is vital. Immediate medical attention is necessary for severe symptoms such as difficulty in urination, severe headaches, or fever. It’s essential to disclose any other medications you’re taking during the consultation, as this helps us provide safe and appropriate treatment. This service may not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific medical conditions.

If You Choose Not to Use These Treatments

Genital herpes outbreaks can resolve naturally. Our treatments aim to lessen severity and expedite healing. For pain relief, salt water soaks or over-the-counter pain creams may offer some comfort.
