Genital Herpes Treatments available at present is confusing and very discouraging.
When one is infected with genital herpes, he/she becomes jittery and nervous.
When he/she finds out that there is no permanent cure for this infection and one has to undergo this suffering and stigma through out his life, one feels he/she is the most unfortunate individual under the sun.
The treatment available around can be classified into two broad categories, firstly anti-viral and secondly immuno-boosting.
The former type of treatment adopts a method where it uses different medical agents to suppress and weakens the virus.
This method quite achieves the result of reduced outbreaks, but the patient gradually suffers from a weakened general health and immunity.
Here the virus gradually gets acclimatized to the medicine and adapts to the medical agent, as a result there is a constant need to keep changing the medicine for getting some result.
Also there are the long term adverse effects of this type of treatment.
The latter type of treatment focuses on boosting the general health and immunity of the patient in particular.
Here, the body of the patient is developed to a level, where it has better chances of dealing with this virus.
As we apply common sense, it seems a better method of dealing with genital herpes.
It is a fact that common sense is not very common in common people.
It is also natural that in life threatening situations, people are generally taken over by their fear and go as per the medical practitioner advises.
So, after detection of a genital herpes infection, it is imperative that one has to first calm down.
One should gather sufficient knowledge about the nature of the disease and types of treatment available around and only and only then choose the type of treatment he/she wants to undergo.
It is an irony that we know so much about the world around us, but so little about ourselves.
In a situation like this, where one is having genital herpes, we have no other option but to spend time on knowing about us.
It is very easy now-a-days to gather knowledge on any subject.
The availability of internet has empowered us to gain access to the latest knowledge in any discipline at a very short time and with very little cost.
You can find herbal curatives, bio-chemical combination, and homeopathic remedies or try out any other alternative or holistic medicine.
I am strictly not in favor of an antiviral suppressive method of treatment.
I have seen what it can do, and as a patient you will start feeling the bad effect of this type of treatment after sometime.
Lastly, as a good friend, I want to say one thing about treatment of genital herpes.
No disease is incurable.
May be, we have to find the curative or we have to reach at it, if somebody has already found it.
Till then, eat well, avoid alcohol, exercise regularly and stay happy.
Adopt a method of treatment where you boost your immunity system.
Perhaps, this will be the best solution not only for genital herpes, but also for all other diseases you may be suffering from.
