What form of the "morning-after" pill is right for me?
Emergency contraception can be used to prevent a pregnancy after having unprotected sex. It is often referred to as the morning-after pill, though this term is misleading as you can take the medication up to 3-5 days after unprotected sex, depending on the specific treatment you take. It is not the abortion pill, which ends an existing pregnancy. Learn more about the two types of emergency contraception pills Hey Jane offers below.
What is herpes?
Herpes, aka herpes simplex virus, is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) that affects an estimated 1 in 8 people. There are two types of herpes virus: HSV-1 (aka oral herpes) and HSV-2 (aka genital herpes), but either type can cause sores in either location.
Symptoms and frequency of outbreaks can vary from person to person. Even without visible symptoms, herpes can still be transmitted to sexual partners.
Oral herpes (HSV-1) symptoms often include:
- Small, open, painful sores or blisters in or around the mouth (aka cold sores)
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, and swollen glands
Genital herpes (HSV-2) symptoms often include:
- Small, open, painful sores or blisters around the genitals or anus
- Itching and/or burning sensations
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, and swollen glands
Reduce or get rid of a herpes outbreak fast
The most commonly prescribed antiviral pills to reduceherpes outbreaks are:
- Acyclovir (Zovirax): An oral medication used to treat chickenpox (in children), cold sores, shingles, and recurrent genital herpes outbreaks.
- Famciclovir (Famvir): An oral drug used to treat the symptoms of shingles, cold sores, and recurrent episodes of genital herpes and cold sores.
- Valacyclovir (Valtrex): An oral medication that treats any conditions caused by the herpes virus, including cold sores, genital herpes, shingles, and chickenpox (in children).
We can also prescribe topical treatments, like lidocaine cream to help with pain during outbreaks or topical antivirals you can apply directly to the outbreak.
After you fill out our intake form on your phone or computer, your Hey Jane provider will evaluate the whole picture. This includes discussing your history of prior infections, your current symptoms, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.
