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 heal on their own?

Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease, generally transmitted through sexual contact. However, there is also a chance of infection for some people who stay in hotels, use public toilets, or bathe in public baths. This disease is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and generally does not heal on its own if left untreated. Without treatment, the condition worsens, and the number of warts increases, which can be transmitted to others through sexual contact. The most common treatment involves using laser to remove the warts, followed by antiviral medication and drugs to boost the immune system. Regular exercise, strengthening the immune system, avoiding spicy and stimulating food, and not drinking alcohol can all help in the treatment of this condition through appropriate medical procedures.

Initial symptoms of genital warts in women

The initial symptoms of genital warts in women are usually some pale red, soft, and tiny papules which then gradually increase in size and number. These papules may merge with each other, with some overlapping, and the surface becomes rough, resembling cauliflower or cockscomb, or nipple-like formations. If the area is moist and warm or exposed to chronic irritation, the warts can grow more rapidly. Generally, genital warts in women, after being infiltrated by secretions, turn a dirty grey or red color and have a rather soft texture. The base of the genital warts usually has some stalk-like structures. Some genital warts may erode and exude fluid, which also makes them prone to secondary bacterial infections, leading to foul smells. Genital warts in women are primarily caused by the human papillomavirus infection, and the treatment typically involves the use of methods like carbon dioxide laser or cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.

Symptoms of genital warts

Genital warts are caused by the HPV virus, also known as the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease. As a classic STD, it is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but it can also be transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and close personal contact. Clinically, genital warts primarily manifest as cauliflower-like growths on the external genitalia and are prevalent among sexually active populations. After diagnosing genital warts, treatments such as laser or cryotherapy can be used to remove the warts. Additionally, genital warts are prone to recurrence in the short term, requiring regular visits to the hospital outpatient clinic.

Oral administration of thymopeptide enteric capsules and Awei-A capsules, among other medications; the wart and surrounding tissues can be treated topically with Kangfuxin solution or Huangbai solution for wet compresses. After the surface liquid dries, apply recombinant human alpha-2b interferon gel to inhibit the replication of the virus and prevent recurrence of symptoms. Rest is important.
