Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Im a 20 yr old girl who has been struggling with genital herpes for almost 6 months now. Before starting suppressive therapy I experienced painful outbreaks every month, but was symptom- free in-between. Now I experice outbreaks every week. They are a lot less painful, but it´s still very annoying that I barely go two days without feeling the tingle/ sting/ burn or itch down there. Does it get better? How long do I have to be on suppressive therapy for it to make outbreaks less severe and frequent? Is there anything I can do?
