What department should you visit for genital herpes?

Genital herpes, as a sexually transmitted disease, offers several options for medical consultation, mainly including: 1. **Dermatology**: Genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus infection and manifests as herpes lesions in the genital area, accompanied by symptoms such as itching and pain. As this condition involves skin and mucous membrane lesions, dermatology is a common department for consultation. 2. **Urology**: If genital herpes causes discomfort symptoms in the urinary system, such as painful urination or a burning sensation in the urethra, patients may seek consultation in the urology department. 3. **Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Clinic**: Since genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease, patients can also choose to visit an STD clinic for professional diagnosis and treatment. 4. **Andrology or Gynecology**: Depending on the patient's gender, males may choose andrology and females may choose gynecology. Doctors in these departments can provide more specific diagnostic and treatment recommendations for genital herpes. Patients with genital herpes can choose an appropriate department based on their own symptoms and the departmental setup of the hospital. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow medical advice for treatment to avoid delays in disease progression.
