Best Doctors for Genital Sores Treatment in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam

Genital sores are open wounds/ulcers present on the skin covering genital organs (vagina, penis and near anus). It can be caused due to sexually transmitted infections like genital herpes, HIV, or syphilis and non STI related causes like allergic reactions, autoimmune conditions, sexual trauma or other infectious conditions. Genital sores are mostly associated with itchy genital organs, burning sensation while urination or during sexual intercourse, abnormal vaginal or penile discharge and significant discomfort. The presence of genital sores can be clinically assessed through physical examination by a general physician or a reproductive medicine specialist. The confirmatory diagnosis include investigations such as biopsy, urinalysis and blood tests. A treatment with antibacterial or antiviral medications may help based on the underlying causes. Genital sores caused due to non-STI causes may further need evaluation from a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist. Adherence to proper genital hygiene, loose fitting underwear, and safe sex practices can prevent developing genital sores.
