Genital warts are caused by how?
Genital warts belong to a type of infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), commonly transmitted through direct sexual contact. Some people are infected in public baths, swimming pools, hotels, or toilets, and can be exposed to contaminated objects. Once diagnosed, formal treatment is necessary. The warts can be removed with laser treatment, combined with antiviral drugs or medications that boost the immune system. During treatment, sexual contact should be avoided to prevent cross-infection. Strengthening exercise, enhancing immunity, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and abstaining from alcohol are recommended. With proper treatment, the disease can be completely cured. Underwear should be thoroughly sun-dried and disinfected.
