Genital Herpes or Herpes zoster also known as shingles, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox).
Primary infection with VZV causes varicella. Once the illness resolves, the virus remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord.
VZV can reactive later in a person’s life and cause a painful, maculopapular rash called herpes zoster.
Patients with herpes zoster most commonly have a rash in one or two adjacent dermatomes (localized zoster). The rash most commonly appears on the trunk along a thoracic dermatome. The rash does not usually cross the body’s midline. Less commonly, the rash can be more widespread and affect three or more dermatomes. This condition is called disseminated zoster. This generally occurs only in people with compromised or suppressed immune systems.
Disseminated zoster can be difficult to distinguish from varicella.
The rash is usually painful, itchy, or tingly. These symptoms may precede rash onset by several days. Some patients may also have headache, photophobia (sensitivity to bright light), and malaise in the prodromal phase.
The rash develops into clusters of vesicles. New vesicles continue to form over three to five days and progressively dry and crust over. They usually heal in two to four weeks. There may be permanent pigmentation changes and scarring on the skin.
Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases in animals, including humans. The members of this family are also known as herpes viruses. The family name is derived from the Greek word herpein (“to creep”), referring to the latent, recurring infections typical of this group of viruses. Herpesviridae can cause latent or lytic infections.
Types of herpes viruses
Nine herpesvirus types are known to infect humans. They include:
- Three—herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, and varicella-zoster virus (herpesvirus type 3, which causes chickenpox and shingles)—cause infections that produce blisters on the skin or mucus membranes.
- Epstein-Barr virus (herpesvirus type 4) causes infectious mononucleosis and may be involved in certain cancers (such as nasopharyngeal cancer, Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma).
- Cytomegalovirus (herpesvirus type 5) is a cause of serious infections in newborns and in people with a weakened immune system. It can also cause symptoms similar to infectious mononucleosis in people with a healthy immune system.
- Human herpesviruses 6 and 7 cause a childhood infection called roseola infantum.
- Human herpesvirus 8 causes certain cancers (Kaposi sarcoma and some types of lymphoma), in people with a weakened immune system such as people with AIDS.
Transmission of Genital Herpes
Active herpes zoster or shingles lesions are infectious, through direct contact with vesicular fluid or even if they dry and crust over, or by touching objects such as a toilet seat or hot tub.
Allopathic Treatment for Genital Herpes
There is no treatment in allopathy for herpes of any type except some suppressive therapy, advise steroid creams and/or tablets like Acyclovir, Famciclovir, Valacyclovir etc.
Homeopathic Treatment for Herpes Zoster
In Homeopathic medicines there are many best and proven anti-viral medicines (viral infections), here are very few of them for herpes zoster:
PS: None of these or any other medicine should be taken without professional advice. said Dr. Qaisar Ahmed. MD, DHMS, Isl. Jurisprudence.
Homeopathic Vaccines & Treatments
Homeopathic Vaccine for Varicella family like: Chickenpox, Morbilli/Measles, Herpes Zoster and some Homeopathic anti-viral medicines:
Variolinum
Variolinum 1M/10M or CM for prophylactic and for vaccination purpose – single dose is enough. In 2023 a study published in International Journal of research studies proves efficacy of Variolonum in smallpox, chickenpox, Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and shingles.
Other symptoms are – exanthema of sharp, pointed pimples, usually small, seldom large and suppurating, dry, resting on small red areolae, frequently interspersed with spots of red color, sometimes severe itching. Petechial eruptions. Var. 1m in water every two hours, given on third day of eruption of a confluent case cut short the attack. Shingles.
Fever very severe, commencing with chills running down back like streams of cold water, causing shivering and chattering of teeth. Hot fever with no thirst. Very profuse and bad-smelling sweat.
Morbillinium
A good antiviral Homeopathic medicine. As a prophylactic given to those who are, or may be, exposed to infection, I prescribe a dose of the 200th twice or thrice daily (Dr Qaisar Ahmed MDM, DHMS). For an attack of a viral disease, I find nothing better than Morbillinium. 200, eight or ten globules in six ounces of water, a tablespoon every two hours. The effect of this is heightened by giving alternately Belladona in the same way. These two medicines will be sufficient to carry through any uncomplicated case, and in my experience do even better than Pulsatilla. As the viral poison has a great affinity for the mucous passages, the eyes, the ears and the respiratory mucous membranes.
