1, definition of condyloma acuminatum
Among sexually transmitted diseases, condyloma acuminatum is a common disease. Generally speaking, the appearance of condyloma acuminatum is mostly caused by human papillomavirus infection. Different types of diseases can be caused by different human papillomavirus infecting the skin or mucosa of human genitals. If you are not treated in time, the harm to your health will become more and more serious.
Condyloma acuminatum spreads in sexual life, which is mostly related to virus infection. Different types of condyloma acuminatum are infected with different diseases, among which HPV 16 and 18 are the main causes of female cervical cancer. Condyloma acuminatum is a common infectious skin disease of male genitalia, which mostly appears in male foreskin, anus, scrotum, coronary sulcus and urethra. In normal times, we can understand the problem of condyloma acuminatum from the infection factors.
2. Main symptoms
When we know what condyloma acuminatum is, we can also start with its shape and characteristics. The condyloma acuminatum in the perianal part of women is mostly needle-shaped warts, and the smaller warts are incompatible with each other, mostly scattered or densely dripping; But warts will merge with each other to form different personalities such as resin, snail or starfish. In men's foreskin, warts are generally cord-shaped, and some patients have been infected for a long time, and oyster shells or scabs will appear.
Step 3: Treatment
(1) TCM treatment
Traditional Chinese medicine is the most commonly used medicine to treat condyloma acuminatum, especially for the initial stage of condyloma acuminatum, which can alleviate the symptoms of condyloma acuminatum. However, although Chinese medicine treatment can alleviate the initial symptoms, it can not completely eliminate the virus lurking in patients with condyloma acuminatum, and Chinese medicine treatment is slow and time-consuming. Moreover, Chinese medicine is difficult to drink, and many patients often cannot insist on treatment. But even so, because the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine is still good, it is still very popular with patients.
(2) Western medicine treatment
The most obvious advantage of western medicine in treating condyloma acuminatum is that it can be immediate, and it is very convenient for patients to treat. Unlike traditional Chinese medicine, which needs to be decocted, you only need to take some oral drugs, such as acyclovir and ganciclovir, to relieve symptoms. Taking western medicine treatment also needs long-term persistence. According to the patient's condition, it varies from one month to repeated use, and western medicine treatment cannot remove the root cause. Eradication is not easy.
(3) General treatment
Comprehensive treatment is a common method to treat condyloma acuminatum. Condyloma acuminatum cannot be cured by drug treatment alone, and some physical therapy can be carried out with drugs. Physical therapy generally includes laser, microwave, electrocautery and freezing. These methods can remove warts, but the virus with warts inside the skin has not been removed, so we should actively cooperate with postoperative care and take interferon treatment to achieve a certain therapeutic effect.
4. How to prevent it
(1) Resolutely put an end to promiscuity: 60% of patients with condyloma acuminatum were infected through sexual contact. One member of the family gets sick from society, but also spreads it to his spouse through sexual life, and may spread it to other family members through close life contact, which not only brings physical pain, but also causes family discord and mental stress. Therefore, improving sexual morality and not having sex outside marriage is an important aspect to prevent condyloma acuminatum.
(2) Prevention of contact infection: Don't use other people's underwear, swimsuits and bathtubs; Don't wash basins and pools in public baths; Advocate shower; Don't take a shower directly in the chair after taking a shower. Try to use squatting toilets in public toilets; Wash your hands with soap before going to the toilet; Don't swim in a swimming pool with high density and poor disinfection.
(3) Pay attention to personal hygiene: clean vulva and change underwear every day, and wash personal underwear separately. Even among family members, one person should share a washbasin and towel.
(4) Sexual life should be forbidden after the spouse is ill. If the spouse only received physical therapy, although the condyloma acuminatum visible in the private parts of the outer woman disappeared, the patient still carries human papillomavirus, and should also receive comprehensive treatment of oral drugs and external washing drugs, and review after treatment. If you have sex during this period, you can use condoms for protection.
