Is herpes zoster contagious

summary

I have herpes zoster for 4 years. Now I want to have children, but I dare not have sex with my wife because the recurrence rate and infection rate are very high. Then I immediately received treatment, and the situation is a little better. Let me learn about herpes zoster infection with you today.

Is herpes zoster contagious

First: in life, herpes zoster is a skin disease caused by varicella zoster virus. However, the virus enters the human body through the respiratory tract mucosa and spreads through the blood. However, varicella appears on the skin. Only children will show such symptoms.

Second: herpes zoster is infectious. After the patient has blisters, there are a lot of varicella zoster virus in the blister fluid of these blisters. In this way, if these fluids directly or indirectly contact the patient's skin, the children who have not suffered from varicella will be infected with varicella, and the adults who have not suffered from varicella will have varicella.

Third: herpes zoster in about three days before the onset of skin abnormalities, the onset of the skin will appear obvious itching, burning, severe pain symptoms, after the onset of parts will have some flakes of erythema, and then there will be a small piece of mung bean sized herpes.

matters needing attention

I'm afraid that women suffering from this disease suffer more than men, because the harm of this disease to women is often more than that to men. In addition, women's constitution is relatively weak, and the recurrence rate is higher.
