55 DoctorsSaanvi Khan, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Saanvi Khan, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been in a committed relationship for two years. For the past three months, she had been experiencing recurrent, painful clusters of small blisters in her genital area, accompanied by flu-like symptoms during the first outbreak. Terrified and ashamed, she initially tried to ignore it, but the painful recurrences disrupted her work and intimacy. She finally confided in her GP, who referred her to a dermatologist specializing in venereology. The doctor, Dr. Sharma, was gentle and non-judgmental. After a visual exam and a confirmatory PCR swab test, she diagnosed Saanvi with genital herpes (HSV-2). Dr. Sharma explained the condition thoroughly, emphasizing it was a manageable viral infection, not a moral failing. She prescribed daily antiviral suppressive therapy to reduce frequency and severity. The treatment was simple, one pill a day. After three months on medication, Saanvi has had no recurrences. The constant anxiety is gone. She feels empowered with knowledge, has had an honest conversation with her partner (who was supportive), and now views her health proactively. Her emotional journey moved from deep shame and isolation to acceptance and control.
