Can Genital Warts Be Cured?
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by papillomavirus infection, primarily spread through sexual contact. Early after viral infection, patients may develop growths on the genitalia and cervix, accompanied by symptoms such as itching and pain.
1. Pharmacological Treatment: Patients with genital warts can use medications such as Transfer Factor Oral Solution under medical guidance to regulate immune function and stimulate the body to recognize the virus, achieving therapeutic effects. Creams can be used for smaller warts. Additionally, patients can use medications as prescribed by their doctors.
2. Physical Therapy: For patients with poor responses to pharmacological treatment, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly and choose physical therapy under medical guidance, such as electrocautery, laser treatment, and cryotherapy. Electrocautery treats warts by causing necrosis and shedding of the wart tissue, laser treatment removes warts through laser burns, and cryotherapy promotes wart necrosis and shedding through liquid nitrogen or freezing.
3. Surgical Treatment: If genital warts are widely distributed, surgical treatment may be considered. The wound should be sutured postoperatively to prevent infection.
4. General Treatment: Most patients with genital warts can be cured with active treatment. Genital warts are usually caused by human papillomavirus infection and can be spread through sexual contact. Patients are advised to maintain good lifestyle habits in daily life and avoid high-risk sexual behavior. Additionally, patients are recommended to store their underwear, bath towels, and other personal items separately to avoid cross-infection. In daily life, patients are advised to undergo regular physical examinations to understand their recent physical condition. If abnormalities are found, early detection and treatment can be initiated. Furthermore, when patients have genital warts, they should avoid self-medication to prevent worsening of the condition.
