Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern,
The transmission of Herpes during hemorrhoid surgery seems not to be possible because- strict aseptic precautions are taken during surgery.The possibility of getting it through some person who was infected ( while nursing ) OR Operation stress has triggered acute exacerbation already existing infection of is the possibility (.Actually hemorrhoid surgery removes a source of viral abide in body )
Please know that Herpes infection can not be completely cured.. it can take one out of acute exacerbation of symptoms. So only keeping control on disease symptoms with expert advise & regular check up/avoiding acute exacerbation/ & prevent transmission to others is all we can do .
Home care for herpes lesion-
- Maintain good health & resistance by healthy life style,Keep a cold / lukewarm cloth on the lesion, Take bath with lukewarm water, keep the lesion dry/ clean, wear loose cotton underwear & cotton clothes.
-Over the counter NSAID like Ibuprofen would help in managing the pain/ discomfort
- An expert's advise for prescribing anti viral anti viral drugs is essential .
Thanks
