There are eight different strains of this virus, the most commonly diagnosed is Herpes Simplex (HSV1) causing genital and oral sold sores and the other is Herpes Zoster (HSV2) which is the cause of shingles. It affects men and women and can be passed on to newborn babies. Herpes treatment can be done homeopathically or by taking conventional medication to keep outbreaks at a minimum. There is no cure for the disease. The word herpes derives from the Greek word herpein which means creep. Creep is what this virus does as it enters one’s body and stays dormant while it is multiplying.
It is difficult to control and the severity of the disease varies from person to person. It resides in the nerves where it flares up occasionally. The stages are primary, latent and shedding.
Outbreaks, or symptoms, can occur whilst the body is under stress. When the virus is first contracted symptoms are absent and this is the incubation period.
In about 2 or more weeks red bumps will appear on the skin and they will turn into fluid filled blisters that are painful and can burn or itch. These blisters can then break and cause sores to form.
Oral herpes can cause pain, burning and tingling around the mouth, tongue or on the lips. A fever may accompany these symptoms and eating can be difficult. The first episode of genital herpes is usually the worst, it can cause pain, swelling and itching in the genital area.
Having a blood panel or a blood test can tell if you have one or both types of this disease. There are no vaccinations to prevent contracting the virus and there is no cure for it.
There are antiviral medications on the market to treat symptoms and minimize outbreaks. Holistic therapies offer immune system support and balance out the energy levels in the body to prevent recurrences.
Alternative treatments are sometimes very helpful. Self-hypnosis can assist in easing the pain. Acupuncture eases and targets neuralgic pain.
Ayurveda medicine, one of the oldest known medical sciences, treats the patient with roots and herbs. Holistic therapies include eliminating stress, deep breathing and guided imagery.
Keeping the body in balance will help prevent outbreaks and reduce the length of them when they do occur. Take Vitamin C to strengthen one’s immune system and to aid in tissue repair. A vegetarian diet is best if you can do it, if not include lots of fruits and vegetable in your diet.
Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, sugar and do not smoke. Practice being calm and eliminating fear, herpes treatment depends a lot on how you manage your symptoms and take care of yourself.

Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis and brings about an infection that is not unlike gonorrhea in the method that it is transmitted and the symptoms it exhibits. This disease is very common and infects around 4 million women each year.
The bacterium that causes Chlamydia is located in the cervix and urethra and can also live in the rectum and throat. Infected males and females exhibit little or no symptoms, which is why they are unaware that they have the disease.
Because of this, they unknowingly pass on the infection to others. Another type of Chlamydia trachomatis, which can be detected in specialized laboratories, causes the STD lymphogranuloma venereum.
A large number of women with Chlamydia do not display symptoms. The infection of the cervix known as cervicitis is the most usual symptom in women. About 50% of women with chlamydial cervicitis manifest no symptoms, while others may experience abdominal pain or vaginal discharge.
Infection of the urethra is often caused by the chlamydial infection of the cervix. Women afflicted with urethritis have the common symptoms of urinary tract infection, including painful and frequent urination.
Chlamydia can harm the Fallopian tubes. It can also bring about extreme pelvic infection. If left untreated, around 30% of women infected with Chlamydia will have pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). The symptoms of PID are pelvic cramping, abdominal pain, fever, or painful intercourse.
Pelvic infection can affect the ability of a woman to become pregnant and may eventually cause infertility. Sometimes, if the infection is serious, such as the presence of pus (an abscess) and localized area of infection, surgery may need to be performed, and can even be lifesaving.
Since it is usual for infected women to exhibit no symptoms, Chlamydial infection is left untreated in most cases and results in the damage of the Fallopian tubes, fertility and pregnancy problems, as well as tubal pregnancy.
Like gonorrhea, Chlamydia is linked to increased cases of premature births. In addition, the newborn can get the infection during the birthing process through the infected birth canal, which causes severe eye damage or pneumonia.
Because of this, all newborn infants are given eye drops that have an antibiotic that can kill the Chlamydia bacteria. Treatment for all newborns is necessary since many women are infected and exhibit no symptoms, and also because of the consequences of chlamydial eye infection to the child.
Antibiotics are used to treat Chlamydia. A convenient and common single-dose treatment for chlamydia is 1 gram of azithromycin (Zithromax, Zmax) taken orally. Alternative treatments can also be used, but are less common because of its high cost.
The usual alternative treatment is an oral dose at 100 mg of doxycycline (Oracea, Vibramycin, Atridox, Adoxa and others) two times a day for one week. As with any STD, a condom or complete abstinence prevents the spread of the infection.
