The peculiarity of all genital infections that if improperly inadequate treatment they are "hidden", and then again and again shown in the form of relapse. Today, for gonorrhea is complicated by the fact that it is often combined with other infections and therefore particularly difficult to treat.

Gonorrhea - especially infection

Gonorrhea - is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by gonococci. This pathogen is easy to die in the environment and, therefore, is transmitted primarily through sexual contact. Domestic mode of transmission is possible mainly for children. In humans gonokokk exhibits rare ability to survive, especially if gonorrhea patients already treated by yourself without laboratory control cure.

"Hide" in the body help to gonococcus other genital infections, especially chlamydia and trichomoniasis. That is why a patient with gonorrhea carefully examined before treatment, all reveal latent infection and only then prescribe.

Treatment of gonorrhea in modern conditions has a number of features. If earlier well it cures gonorrhea drugs penicillin group, today gonokokki basically lost the sensitivity to these drugs. The modern antibiotic therapy, and take into account the possible combinations of gonorrhea with intracellular infections (chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis) and trichomoniasis.

So, if in the course of the survey were revealed gonorrhea and chlamydia Chlamydia: insidious and widespread disease Sensitive to macrolide antibiotics, the most frequently prescribed drugs such as azithromycin (sumamed) and josamycin (vilprafen). When combined with gonorrhea trichomoniasis, an antibiotic is added to the appointment of the appointment of metronidazole (Trichopolum).

Acute gonorrhea Gonorrhea - self-ruled   easily treatable, in chronic form of the disease is sometimes necessary to appoint several courses of antibiotic therapy, revealing her hiding infection using special techniques (provocation).

Treatment for gonorrhea using Wilprafen

Vilprafen (active substance josamycin) - a drug from the group of macrolides (erythromycin group), which is well established in the treatment of gonorrhea and chlamydia are combined with it. Particularly well to treatment fresh cases of the disease.

Vilprafen gonorrhea Neisseria gonorrhoeae suppresses vital functions, and at high concentrations in the lesion kills them. Wilprafen peculiarity is that it less likely to develop resistance gonococci, it may not develop even in the case where the gonococci sensitive to erythromycin.

The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition Wilprafen protein synthesis of bacteria, which leads to metabolic disorders Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things   and the suppression of life or death of the cell pathogen.

Vilprafen non-toxic drug, so it can be used to treat gonorrhea in pregnant women: it gets through the placenta to the fetus, but it does not have a negative impact.

The duration of treatment and the dose determined by the physician. A week after the treatment the patient after preliminary provocation necessarily take test samples - only laboratory confirmation could be the guarantee of recovery from infection. Women have such tests carried out three times over three menstrual cycles in a row. Men are enough to retake the analysis within two weeks.

Contraindications and side effects

Vilprafen has few contraindications. It can not be taken in case of hypersensitivity of the patient to the drug, and in severe liver disease with decreased function of the body. Precautions vilprafen Vilprafen - modern highly effective and non-toxic antibiotic   as prescribed in chronic renal failure.

The side effects of the antibiotic have also small - usually well tolerated. Most often there are side effects from the gastrointestinal tract - a violation of appetite, nausea and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. But when used in recommended doses Wilprafen and usual duration of antibiotic treatment, these side effects are their own and do not require discontinuation of therapy.

Side effects from the liver are less common and also are transient in nature. It can be uncomfortable and heaviness in the right hypochondrium, changes in the blood chemistry, intrahepatic bile stasis, jaundice. Flow side effects usually mild, however, when they occur vilprafen overturned.

There are also side effects such as temporary hearing loss, and allergic reactions.

Vilprafen used to treat gonorrhea under the supervision of a physician.

That was the question asked by many men and women and try to do it yourself. These treatments will never be effective - the adequate treatment of the exhaust methods may appoint a doctor (gynecologist, urologist or a dermatologist).

How to treat genital herpes

Principles of treatment of genital herpes are superimposed on the causes and mechanism of development of this disease.

The cause of genital herpes is herpes simplex virus Herpes simplex - in fact, not so simple   first and second types (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Once infiltrating into the body, these viruses remain there forever. They are hiding in the nerve ganglia in the lumbar region, which are in an inactive state. By reducing HSV immune system goes out of its "hiding place, moving the nerve alignments to the skin and genital mucosa and causes disease.

Therefore, the treatment of genital herpes in the complex treatment must include antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy. Appointed as antioxidants - drugs that inhibit the toxic effects of free radicals, which are formed during cellular metabolism.

Matter and all the factors that can reduce the immune system (malnutrition, heavy physical and psychological stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and rarely stay in the fresh air, constant stress, intoxication with alcohol, nicotine and other harmful substances, and so on) - should be removed.

The main treatment - Antiviral therapy

Antiviral therapy of genital herpes is conducted with modern antiviral drugs, acyclovir Acyclovir - as it is safe? , Valacyclovir (Valtrex) and famciclovir (Famvir). Acyclovir is used for a long time, it is quite effective drug, Valtrex and Famvir but are much more pronounced antiviral effect.

Doses of drugs antiviral drugs and the duration of their application depend on the type and course of HSV infection. Thus, when the primary genital herpes, which is accompanied by a significant multiplication of HSV and prolonged severe, prolonged courses are appointed and large doses of antiviral drugs

When recurrent genital herpes antiviral treatment is carried out, depending on the severity of the disease I have. For example, in mild to moderate current, when recurrences develop no more than once every two months, with the appearance of the first signs or harbingers of disease prescribe short courses of antiviral treatment.

With more frequent relapses carried out so-called suppressive antiviral treatment: the doctor specially selected doses of antiviral drugs are appointed for a long time, a year or more. The effectiveness of treatment is tested in a few months - Treatment cancel a month - two and watch whether the relapse.

Some patients with long-term use of such scares antiviral drugs, but today it is well established that it has no negative impact on the patient's body. Suppressive therapy of genital herpes is the international practice. In addition it has a healing effect and anti-value - reduced the risk of transmission of herpes simplex sexual partner of the patient.

Immune reconstitution

Full immunotherapy is only possible on the basis of immunograms - blood tests that detect all violations of the immune system. Then prescriber sighting reducing certain "failure."

Today, for immunity Strengthening the immune system - help the immune system   genital herpes when used immunomodulator herbal panavir, which also applies to antiviral drugs. Panavir administered intravenously or administered topically as a gel. You can apply and such plant immunostimulants as ginseng, Immunal, Rhodiola rosea, and so on, but is worsening. Against the background of a relapse, these drugs may be to weight the patient's condition.

To eliminate the toxic effects on the body of free radicals used antioxidants Antioxidants: the truth about the notorious benefits   - Vitamins E, A, ascorbic acid, minerals including mineral with a strong antioxidant effect - selenium.
