Emergency contraception causing herpes outbreak. how do i get rid of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dr: There are several pills to treat episodes of herpes. Stress can cause an outbreak, so perhaps the stress of worrying about unintended pregnancy but no evidence that emergency contraception triggers herpes.
