Herpes and Implants

Postby Canadian_patient » Fri Jan 01, 2016 10:07 pm

Hi guys, quick question: if you have Herpes, would that be a problem when undergoing the surgery? Would that increase the risk of infection?

Thank you

though not a doctor, i have experience with people who have viral infections. Herpes is a virus, not a bacteria. Bacteria causes infections. Likewise antibiotics have no effect on virus'. I would tend to thing the herpes will give you no issues. I assume you are on something like cylcovir or valtrex to keep you from having flare ups though those meds often are as much to help keep you less infectious. My 2 cents. Might not be worth one copper so be sure and ask a doc with a brain. Best luck to you. d
LGX 21cm .Milam 01/13/16. Horror; both service and surgical outcome. hated infrapubic installation. Kramer revision 03/01/17. 22cm Titan +1.5cm extender. Those who think their opinion is the only one that matters are a danger to themselves and others.

Thanks. Actually I never had an outbreak but I suspect I might have it due to a fling I had with some girl a few years ago.... i did test positive for HSV-2 though. ..

I really think you will have no issue from it.
