Herpes (Shingles) ka rash theek ho gaya hai, lekin dard abhi bhi ja nahi raha? Agar aap burning sensation, electric shock jaisa dard, suiyan chubhne jaisi feeling ya skin ko halka sa touch karne par bhi severe pain mehsoos kar rahe hain, to ise nazarandaaz na karein.
Yeh Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) ho sakta hai—ek nerve pain condition jo herpes infection ke baad kuch logon mein develop hoti hai. Agar iska diagnosis aur treatment jaldi shuru ho jaye, to dard ko kaafi had tak control kiya ja sakta hai aur quality of life behtar ho sakti hai.
What Is Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)? | Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) क्या है?
Post Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) ek long-lasting nerve pain hai jo herpes (shingles) ka rash theek hone ke baad bhi bana reh sakta hai. Yeh pain hafte, mahine, aur kuch patients mein saalon tak bhi reh sakta hai.
दरअसल, हर्पीस वायरस नसों को प्रभावित कर सकता है। परिणामस्वरूप, त्वचा ठीक होने के बाद भी दर्द बना रह सकता है। इसलिए लगातार दर्द को सामान्य समझकर नज़रअंदाज़ नहीं करना चाहिए।
Common Symptoms | सामान्य लक्षण
Agar aapko herpes ke baad neeche diye gaye lakshan dikh rahe hain, to specialist se salah lena uchit hai:

- 📍 Needle-pricking sensation (सुई चुभने जैसा दर्द)
- ✋ Extreme skin sensitivity (हल्का स्पर्श भी दर्द पैदा करे)
- 🌙 Pain affecting sleep and daily activities (नींद और रोज़मर्रा की जिंदगी प्रभावित होना)
- 😣 Pain even after the rash has healed (रैश ठीक होने के बाद भी लगातार दर्द)
When Should You See a Neurologist? | डॉक्टर से कब मिलना चाहिए?
Aapko specialist se consult karna chahiye agar:
- Herpes ka rash theek ho gaya ho, lekin pain bana hua ho.
- Dard 4 hafte ya usse zyada samay tak rahe.
