Hi, Women’s genitals are one of the most sensitive parts of the body, and it doesn’t take long to notice if something pops up on them. Although the bumps on labia are usually not a sign of a serious condition, they can cause discomfort in your day-to-day life. To avoid these conditions you need to keep proper perineal hygiene by washing with V wash every time you visit the washroom and immediately after having intercourse with your partner. Avoid touching the bump, as squeezing or popping them can spread bacteria and exacerbate the problem. Keep your vaginal area clean and dry and avoid tight-fitting underwear to create a healthy environment for your genitals. Choosing underwear made from fabric that breathes and showering after exercise can help with this. Change your underwear regularly. Now coming towards your partner’s medical condition. I would like to acknowledge you a little about HSV. HSV -- more commonly known as herpes -- are categorized into two types: herpes type 1 (HSV-1, or oral herpes) and herpes type 2 (HSV-2, or genital herpes). Most commonly, herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores). HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum. I explained this to clear your idea regarding HSV -1 & HSV -2. Although there is no cure for herpes, treatments can relieve the symptoms. Medication can decrease the pain related to an outbreak and can shorten healing time. They can also decrease the total number of outbreaks. Drugs including Famvir, Zovirax, are among the drugs used to treat the symptoms of herpes. Warm baths may relieve the pain associated with genital sores. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
