How long does the incubation period and complications of the disease last?
From the moment of infection to the moment of the first condylomasin women, it may take several months. At first, no changes are even visible, so condylomas can be attributed to a latent infection. The first signs are minor pink rashes, they slowly grow and increase in number. The growth rate of condylomas in women will directly depend on the state of her immunity: the weaker the immunity, the more fast-growing condylomas. Due to the long incubation period and latent course without signs of the disease, diagnosis and treatment are difficult. The causes of condylomas are not only unprotected sexual intercourse, infection can also occur when the virus is transmitted from mother to fetus. If the disease is not detected in time and treatment is not started, then significant complications can occur. Condylomas in women can become an obstacle to intimate life, because a woman most often has an inferiority complex due to a cosmetic defect. Condylomas can itch, cause a burning sensation, sometimes begin to bleed if they are injured. In any case, this is a disease that must be treated immediately after detection. If you do not start treatment in time or do not complete it, a relapse is possible - the appearance of new pointed formations. Also, suppuration of the processes, the appearance of ulcers, which will eventually begin to bleed, may occur. Pointed condylomas are formations of the epithelium that rise above it and have a pointed shape. Most often, the formation is located on a stalk, less often on a wide base, the stalk of the condyloma is supplied with blood. At first, the formations are small and soft, gradually they grow, increase in size and can even merge into groups. Papules can be located in the groin area, in the vulva, small and large labia. If a woman discovers these formations on herself, she often refuses treatment. Therefore, the process can be delayed, the condylomas will grow further and cause more and more persistent discomfort.
Diagnosis and disposal of genital warts
Treatment of pointed epithelial growthsis carried out only after confirmation of the diagnosis. Since the cause of the disease is a virus, it cannot be detected by simple methods. PCR is used for diagnostics - this is the detection of fragments of the virus. After receiving the test results, the attending physician prescribes a complete, consistent and effective treatment. It is necessary to be treated by a gynecologist who will carry out all procedures and appointments correctly and in full. Self-treatment is contraindicated because it can lead to complications. Treatment of formations can be carried out in different ways. The most common is the treatment of formations with liquid nitrogen, which is applied to the affected area. This method is painless, it can be used to treat quite large areas at a time. Now a laser has often been used to remove growths, but this method requires additional anesthesia, scars may remain, which does not speak in its favor. It is possible to affect condylomas with the help of drugs that contain acids in concentrated form. They are used to cauterize the affected areas directly, the treatment is carried out in courses. At the same time, the doctor prescribes drugs that will support the patient's immunity. The doctor selects the method of removing condyloma in women individually for each woman. The sexual partner must also be treated to avoid recurrence of the disease.
How to avoid a recurrence of the disease?
The most reliable way to prevent the recurrence of condyloma in women is to use a condom during sexual intercourse, as well as having a regular sexual partner.
