AIDS combined with genital warts requires anti-HPV treatments on top of HIV treatment. When necessary, comprehensive treatments such as laser and cryotherapy are also needed. This should be managed under the care of experienced infectious disease specialists and dermatologists. AIDS treatment requires long-term, standard anti-HIV treatment, primarily adopting cocktail therapy. It is essential to take the medication on time without discontinuation, as irregular or arbitrary cessation can easily lead to drug resistance.

The best treatment method for genital warts

Genital warts are caused by an infection with the papillomavirus, also known as HPV virus. This disease is highly contagious and recurrent, mostly transmitted through direct sexual contact. Some individuals may contract it from using contaminated towels while bathing, soaking, or visiting public baths. The most common treatment for this condition involves using lasers to remove the warts, followed by medication. Currently, the best method is using photodynamic therapy with Ailargo, which can reduce the recurrence but tends to be more expensive. It is recommended to consult the dermatology department of a local formal hospital before treatment. During treatment, it is crucial to maintain a standardized diet and lifestyle, avoid sexual contact and spicy or irritating foods, and enhance physical exercise to improve immunity.

Will pseudosharp be itchy?

Pseudovestibular papillomatosis mostly does not cause itching, but it is possible for some individuals to experience itching symptoms, which depend on each person’s specific circumstances. Typically, pseudovestibular papillomatosis appears as clusters of smooth, white or pale red bumps the size of fish eggs. They are usually found on the inner sides of the female labia minora and the vestibule of the vagina, and do not produce noticeable symptoms. The acetic acid white test is also negative. Because pseudovestibular papillomatosis is related to the irritation from female genital secretions, severe vaginal inflammation can potentially cause itching due to local irritation. In such cases, it is important to improve immunity, exercise regularly, change sanitary pads frequently, bathe often, and actively manage vaginal inflammation to alleviate symptoms. Some individuals mistakenly treat pseudovestibular papillomatosis as actual genital warts after visiting unregulated facilities, which is unnecessary.

Can genital warts be effectively treated?

Genital warts, if treated formally and persistently over a long period, can be completely cured. This disease is caused by HPV virus infection, also known as the papillomavirus. The main route of transmission is still through sexual contact, but there is also a possibility of infection from staying in hotels, using public toilets, or bathing in public baths. Once infected, it is crucial to seek formal treatment, which involves removing the warts with laser surgery, and then combining antiviral medication orally with drugs that enhance immune function. Routine exercise to strengthen immunity, avoiding spicy and stimulating food, and refraining from alcohol can all aid in the treatment. During the treatment period, it is essential to avoid sexual contact to prevent cross-infection.

Can genital warts heal on their own?

Genital warts are caused by a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is a sexually transmitted disease. This disease is generally more common among sexually active people. This condition does not heal on its own, which means it generally will not improve without proper treatment. If not treated, the condition can worsen and spread, primarily affecting the external genitalia or the area around the anus. The most common treatment involves the use of lasers to remove the warts, followed by antiviral medication. This disease has a high recurrence rate, so it is essential to persist with the treatment over the long term. Complete recovery is possible eventually. Additionally, it's important to exercise regularly to boost the immune system.

Symptoms of infectious genital warts

Genital warts are caused by a papillomavirus infection and are a type of sexually transmitted disease, mainly spread through sexual contact. They frequently occur on mucous membranes such as the foreskin, glans, vulva, anal area, or mouth. Initially, a small granulation tissue appears, which gradually proliferates, enlarges, or multiplies, exhibiting a cauliflower-like growth. If the warts grow larger, the surface tissue becomes fragile, and lightly scratching may dislodge a piece of tissue, potentially causing bleeding. Once this disease occurs, it is essential to seek professional treatment at a dermatology department in a reputable hospital, as the disease is highly contagious and prone to recurrence, resulting in a lengthy treatment period. Sexual contact should be avoided until completely cured to prevent transmission to others.
