Hello my Fellas Steemians

Valentine's Day, a day where love, warmth, and sweet moments take center stage. Valentine's Day is a culture where there is a day to express affection in many romantic forms.

But, behind all the kisses and hugs that symbolize love, there is one topic that might not be as romantic: herpes. Yup, that's right, in the midst of all the romance, there's a virus that might be celebrating Valentine's Day with us. Not really, is it? So here we go..

Is Herpes dangerous?

Well, you see, when it comes to herpes, we might like to think, "Is this seriously dangerous?" So, let me explain a little bit. In general, herpes is more like an annoyance than a danger. This means that it won't make you seriously ill right away, but it can still make you uncomfortable.

So, herpes is a virus that can cause blisters and rashes in "that" area, plus it can recur from time to time. Although very rare, for people with weakened immune systems, herpes can cause more serious problems. But, with the right treatment and staying healthy, most people can manage herpes without too much drama.

However, prevention is always better than cure. Therefore I advise you to stay away from free sex in our lifestyle.

Different of Oral Herpes and Genital Herpes?

The first type of herpes is oral herpes, often known as herpes labialis. Usually appearing around the mouth or lips, it can occasionally cause them to feel scratchy or dry. The HSV-1 virus is typically spread by direct touch, such as kissing or exchanging silverware.

Let's now examine genital herpes. The distinction is that vaginal herpes, as its name implies, develops in or near the genital region. The HSV-2 virus is the cause of it. Although skin-to-skin contact is one way that genital herpes is typically spread, it can also be spread through sexual contact.

What then makes a difference? It all about area. Genital herpes affects the genitalia, whereas oral herpes affects the mouth. However, both can be irritating and painful. So avoid the sexually promiscuous lifestyle as much as possible.

Are you wary of getting Herpes?

Of course. I think all sexually transmitted diseases are dangerous and should be avoided. I will focus on the causes. And since it is caused by lifestyle and promiscuous sex, then I will also stay away from promiscuous sex in order not to contract such diseases.

Is there some medicine for that?

I'm not so sure. But I read in some articles that it is said to consult a doctor if there are certain symptoms.

They said the doctor will give the right treatment by giving prescriptions to control the spread of the virus. And also will be given a special ointment that can relieve itching in certain areas.

It relates to what I previously stated. It's always preferable to prevent than to cure. Live a healthy lifestyle and abstain from free sexual lifestyle!
