Sexually transmitted diseases (STD), also referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STI) and venereal diseases (VD), are illnesses that have a significant probability of transmission between humans by means of human sexual behavior, including vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex. While in the past, these illnesses have mostly been referred to as STDs or VD, in recent years the term sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has been preferred, as it has a broader range of meaning; a ...

Does Livogen-Z inhibit the herpes simplex virus growth? Does it help in curing herpes? I have tried various antivirals like Zovirax, but they don't cure it. ## No, this is a nutritional supplement and it will not do anything to help with herpes. And, as detailed by the NIH, there is no cure for herpes, some medications, such as the Zovirax, can help prevent outbreaks, or keep them from being too severe, but there is nothing that can prevent them all, or eradicate the virus entirely. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. What has your doctor advised?

I am 49 and was just diagnosed with Herpes. My doctor prescribed Nuroday 1500 once a day. Can it cure Herpes? ## Hello, Jazz! How are you? Unfortunately, at this time, there is no cure for herpes, even with all of our advances in medical science. The best we can do is to try to prevent outbreaks with antiviral medications, such as Acyclovir and Valacyclovir. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, and headache. Are you experiencing oral herpes, genital herpes, or both? What symptoms have you been experiencing?

Or is there any other medicine i should try coz I'm starting to doubt if my doctor knows what he is doing coz it keeps on coming back and he keeps on giving me same thing i want it gone. Please help me coz i don't know what to do anymore. Thanks ## No, there is no cure for genital herpes, it can only be managed and no, an antibiotic will not help with it. You need an antiviral and the NIH lists the typical side effects of them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhea. However, there is nothing that will totally ge...

I suffer from Herpes and get monthly blisters on my upper lip. Can Purbac treat this condition successfully? ## No, this is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections, however, herpes is caused by a virus, so an antibiotic will not help with it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. There are antivirals that can help lessen the frequency of your outbreaks, so you may want to consult your doctor about trying one. Are you on any other medications? It is not common to experience monthly outbreaks, without some sort of trigger.

I just recently found out I have herpes. My Dr prescribed me Acyclovir for the herpes and 5-325 Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen for the discomfort. Will the hydrocodone really help with the pain? ## Hello, Fml! How are you? Herpes affects the nerve ganglia, wherever your infection is located, either the abdominal area, or your face/head. Thus, while you see the blisters and sores, which can be quite uncomfortable, it can also cause some deeper pain, because of the way its affecting the nerves. Many that experience genital herpes also develop other symptoms, during a breakout, such as aches, pains and fever. That would be my guess as to why your doctor prescribed the Norco, though the best thing to do would be to ask them. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has t...

I have been diagnosed with herpes zoster attack to my arm nerves and still not recovered from the nerves pain. does neurobion infection helps heeling the nerve to ease the pain? some says it's not good while suffering herpes zoster. ## Neurobion contains Vitamins B1, B6 and B1, so it is a supplement. It will only help with pain, if it is caused by being deficient in one of these vital nutrients. Since Herpes is not caused by that, it is doubtful that it will provide you with much relief. Is this what your doctor wants to use? ## with reference to the above reply related to Neurobione injection. My dermatologist recommended the injection and said it will ease the pain in my arm from the herpes zoster but my neurologist said not to take the injection and that it will not help. I also ...

This gel is heaven sent for cold sores/herpes Simplex or veneral herpes. It give the same wonderful relief to both herpes. Applied to red ant bites it stops the festering . Applied to mosquitos bits it takes the sting out and reduces the size of the welts. Like others I have not been able to purchase at local drug stores. Where can I order on line in quantities of 10 or more. This is a product you want to share with young families and the older folks. ## I'd recommend being careful about using on an area of the body for which it is not intended. Doing so may lead to some possible serious adverse reactions and/or yeast infections. To treat genital issues, it is best and safest to stick with a product that is specifically formulated to be used in those areas. Learn more herpes details...
