For condyloma acuminata occurring at the urethral meatus, it is first necessary to enhance local cleanliness to prevent secondary bacterial infections. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and provide immune modulation and other symptomatic support.

Laser removal of the warts is the first choice, supplemented by photodynamic therapy for the skin, once a week, continuously for three to six times as a basic regimen.

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. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor).

What medicine is used for genital warts?

Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus infection, and this disease is highly contagious and recurrent, classified as a sexually transmitted disease. Although some over-the-counter topical medications available on the market are somewhat effective, they can also be quite corrosive. Improper use may lead to local corrosion or ulceration, so it is advised to seek formal treatment at a dermatology department of a recognized hospital. The most common treatment involves removing the warts with laser or cryotherapy, followed by the use of oral and topical antiviral medications. During treatment, it is crucial to avoid sexual contact. After recovery, it is important to maintain proper diet and lifestyle habits, avoid public baths and swimming, and abstain from sexual activity.

How long does it take to rule out something sharp?

Whether the warts from genital warts increase in number or size is greatly related to the patient's own immune strength. If the immunity is relatively weak and insufficient to resist or suppress virus replication, the warts tend to grow. Conversely, if the patient's immunity is relatively strong, the warts generally do not tend to increase in size and may even disappear or diminish. Therefore, even if the warts do not appear to be growing, one cannot completely rule out genital warts no matter how much time has passed.

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.

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.

What should I do after being infected with genital warts?

Genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and are caused by an HPV virus infection. This disease is highly contagious and recurrent. Once infected, one should not engage in sexual contact and must seek standard treatment at the dermatology department of a formal hospital. Initial treatment typically involves using laser to remove the warts, followed by the application of antiviral medications and oral medications to boost immunity. The treatment period for this disease is quite lengthy, and there is a very high recurrence rate half a month after the first treatment, necessitating multiple treatments at the hospital. During treatment, it is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, abstain from alcohol, increase exercise, and enhance immunity. If the disease repeatedly recurs and treatments are ineffective, photodynamic therapy can also be considered. Overall, the treatment costs are relatively high, but with long-term persistent treatment, it can be cured.
