Herbal Health – information on herbal medicine

LGV is treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline and erythromycin. Close weekly follow-up by a health care provider is essential until the symptoms have cleared, and antibiotics must be continued until the infection has resolved. Surgical draining of swollen, pus-filled lymph nodes may be necessary.

Scarring is not uncommon, even when the treatment is started early and has been successful. Surgical repair of the scarring may be necessary after the infection has been successfully treated with antibiotics.

Anyone who has had sexual contact with an infected person, usually within the thirty days before that person became symptomatic, must be treated with antibiotics and should be tested for other STDs as well.

LGV is transmitted through sexual contact with a person who is infected. The infection can be transmitted through unprotected oral, anal, or genital sexual contact. Condoms decrease the risk of transmission. Pregnant women who are infected do not transmit the infection to the fetus while it is in the womb, but the infant may become infected by transmission as it travels through the birth canal.
