  - trigger: ":hsv"
    word: true
    replace: |
       Based on your symptoms, you are very likely having the rash in response to
       initial infection with a herpes simplex virus. Unfortunately, although the
       rash will heal, this virus generally never completely clears from the body
       and will very likely cause repeated outbreaks of a blistering rash.
       However, the first episode is the worst, and medications can also help
       reduce the severity and duration of future outbreaks.

       There is no blood test available to test for an active
       herpes simplex infection (HSV).  To obtain a definite diagnosis
       you would need to visit a clinic in person and have a swab of the rash.

       To reduce the duration of the current outbreak, you are advised to use the '
       prescribed medication valacyclovir (Valtrex) 2 capsules (1g) twice daily
       for 10 days. If the rash is not completely healed, please extend the
       treatment for another 10 days.

       Note that if you have recurrence of this rash, you should take the same
       medication valacyclovir (Valtrex) 1 capsule (500mg) twice daily for 3 days
       starting when you first notice a tingle or blister forming.

       To reduce discomfort, you are advised to use the prescribed topical
       lidocaine 2% gel applied up to four times daily.

       You have had no frequent nose bleeds.
       You have had no blood in your urine.
       You have had no blood in your stool, or any black/tarry stool (melena).

       You have a varied diet, which includes red meats.
       You are not currently taking any iron supplementation.

       You have had no blurry vision.
       You have had no frequent headaches.
       You have had no frequent urination.
       You have no family history of diabetes.

       {{hitsh}}
       You have no family history of thyroid disease.

       {{noother}}

       Given your previous history of low iron, your current fatigue is also
       likely due to low iron.  However we should complete testing to be sure
       and also confirm there are not other causes contributing.

       Also, note that factors contributing to fatigue may include psychological stress,
       anxiety, low mood, inadequate time for relaxation, poor diet, or too much alcohol.
       A healthy lifestyle is important, including stress reduction, and setting aside
       time for adequate relaxation and sleep. As well, even though you are already tired,
       gradually increasing physical exercise often helps.

         Asthma is a disease that causes inflammation in the airways, narrowing the space
         available for air to flow.
         Ventolin is a bronchodilator, which helps to relax the muscles and open the airwarys temporarily
         but does not address the underlying inflammation.
         You should benefit from the addition of regular daily medications such as inhaled corticosteroids
         to help suppress the underlying inflammation, and montelukast (Singulair) which is particularly
         helpful for allergy induced asthma.
         Combination puffers such as Symbicort have both a corticosteroid to help with the inflammation and
         a bronchodilator to open th airways that is both rapid onset (close to ventolin)
         and longer acting (compared to ventolin), so can be used effectively as a rescue inhaler as well.

         A prescription has been provided to extend your use of:
         Ventolin HFA 100mcg 1-2 puffs every 4 hours as needed

         In addition, prescriptions for the following medications have been provided to try to better
         control your asthma symptoms:
         Symbicort 200 1 puff twice daily, and as needed up to a total of 8 puffs daily
         Montelukast (Singulair) 10mg once daily

         You may not need to take these medications the entire year, but regular daily consistent use during
         the allergy season should help to control your symptoms.

         You are recommended to follow-up with your regular family physician within 30 days to review how
         well these new medications are working and whether you wish to continue them or any dose adjustment
         is necessary.

       Primary delayed ejaculation is difficult to treat unless directly related to a medication.

       2) Switching SSRI to SNRI - duloxetine (cymbalta) or levomilnacipran (Fetzima) likely best
       3) Adding mirtazapine (Remeron) or bupropion (Wellbutrin) to an SSRI

       If not medication related, it is usually related to anxiety, and overcontrolling or obsessive personality traits.
       Intensive counselling may be helpful.

       Most men are able to find specific stimuli when alone that help them reach their particularly high ejaculation threshold.
       Having their partner mimic these techniques may allow them to ejaculate with their partner. 

       Finally, a stimulant  (eg Dexedrine 5-10mg) 1 hour before sexual activity may help.

      Medications can sometimes be helpful for anxiety and depression.
      To be effective, they must be taken once daily, every day.
      They usually take several weeks to start having a significant effect.
      They are usually continued for at least 9 to 12 months.
      Some more common side effects include nausea, headache, sleep disturbance,
      sexual dysfunction, sweating and dry mouth.
      When first starting, they may cause a temporary increase in anxiety,
      and rarely an increase in suicidal thinking.
      If suicidal thoughts are increasing, it is important to seek help immediately.

       On discussion, you have responded well to previous treatments for urinary tract infection and
       do not want to pursue this additional testing at this time.

       You are recommended to submit a sample of urine for culture to confirm the diagnosis and
