The causes of the appearance of genital warts
Pointed condyloma or genital wartsWarts appear when the human papilloma virus is activated in the body. Changes begin to occur in the cells of the skin and mucous membranes, as a result of which the tissues grow, and neoplasms appear on the surface. For effective treatment, it is necessary to identify the causes. The most common cause is the transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse or when a newborn passes through the birth canal of a sick mother. Getting on open skin and mucous membranes, the virus gradually penetrates new cells, which leads to infection. If a person has pronounced symptoms, then he poses a danger to others. But the danger and complexity of the disease lies in the fact that genital warts may not manifest themselves at all for a fairly long period of time. A large number of people have a virus inside their body that is in a latent state. Of course, there are other reasons. As a rule, with good health and high immune protection of the body, such a disease affects quite rarely. Therefore, in order to treat genital warts or genital warts, you should first increase your immunity, since local removal of neoplasms will not give results. The proliferation of the virus inside the body will lead to the condylomas appearing again in the near future.
What are the most known symptoms of the disease?
The mildest form with a favorable outcomeis a situation when a person is a carrier of the virus. The disease itself does not manifest itself in any way. In this case, there is no need to treat genital warts, since the body is capable of independently producing antibodies to the active reproduction of the virus. A more severe form of the disease has unpleasant symptoms in the form of specific rashes. Common sites of damage are the genitals: in men - the foreskin (frenulum), the head of the penis, the scrotum, in women - the clitoris, labia, the vagina itself, the cervix, the urethra. Quite often, a person's perineum, anus, rectum, and oral cavity are affected. This is due to the fact that the disease can be transmitted not only during classic sex. Oral and anal contacts are common, which lead to infection. The rash itself can vary in appearance. As a rule, these are non-cavity formations on a thin stalk that protrude above the skin surface. The size can vary from a match head to a large nut. When several formations merge into one, the appearance of the disease resembles cauliflower, differing only in a pinkish or reddish tint. Pointed condylomas are very dangerous during pregnancy, since the infection spreads to the unborn child. When a child is born, there is a high risk of damage to the skin. Therefore, if any neoplasms are detected, it is advisable to treat warts. Removal of pointed condylomas is necessary only after an accurate diagnosis. To identify them, it is necessary not only to externally determine the symptoms, but also to take the appropriate tests. First of all, this is blood and a smear, the results of which determine the presence of a particular sexually transmitted infection. A thorough examination will require a cytological examination of the material.
Effective treatment of genital warts
After identifying the cause of the growthsWarts on the genitals must be treated. Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate genital warts with a weakened immune system. Superficial removal of the affected areas does not give results, since after a certain time, warts will appear again and again. The method of treatment is largely determined by the nature of the development and course of the disease. Genital warts are effectively removed by a chemical method, which is the treatment of formations with special chemicals. But this treatment is used only for single and few rashes. Moreover, in no case should you apply the drugs yourself, since in the absence of experience and knowledge, such treatment will lead to the formation of scars on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes. The second method is considered to be surgical removal, in which genital warts are excised with a scalpel or urethroscope (in case of growth in the urethra). In case of voluminous rashes, it is advisable to use a physical method of treating warts, which should include the use of a laser or electric current. It should be noted that condylomas are treated in a complex manner. Moreover, during the treatment period, it is necessary to completely exclude sexual intercourse. This allows the wounds that have appeared to heal more quickly and get rid of the disease. If warts are not treated in time, the situation may be complicated by unpleasant phenomena. For example, this is suppuration of condylomas, injury when washing or wearing clothes. In some cases, such neoplasms degenerate into an oncological disease. In order for pointed condylomas to disappear during treatment and not reappear, it is advisable to prevent sexual intercourse with unverified partners who may be carriers of the human papilloma virus, use protection (condoms, special chemical solutions or suppositories), regularly see a gynecologist or urologist and take tests for verification.
