What is the best way to treat female genital warts?

Genital warts are a very common disease that can affect both men and women, and are mainly caused by viral infection. This is a sexually transmitted disease. Infection can occur during sexual intercourse, so unhygienic behaviors such as sharing towels may also lead to infection with genital warts. This is also a disease that plagues many women. So how should genital warts in women be treated?

Female genital warts, also known as genital warts, are infected with the HPV virus only in the local skin and not in the blood. In layman's terms, genital warts are actually a skin disease, because the current medical community's treatment for female genital warts mainly focuses on local therapy, external therapy, and systemic treatment. However, in the treatment of genital warts, infusion, injection, and oral medication are all auxiliary therapies. These practices only help patients to improve their immunity, rather than directly targeting the virus.

1. Surgical excision: Surgical excision can be considered for larger, isolated warts with pedicles. Surgical removal of genital warts is generally not recommended because genital warts are prone to recurrence after surgical treatment, resulting in treatment failure. Depending on the wart mass and coverage area, choose lesion excision or vulvar excision.

2. Electrocautery: Electrocautery is an older treatment method. In the past, dermatologists often used high-frequency electric knives or electric soldering irons to burn common warts, moles, and other skin growths. Its characteristics are simple operation and quick effect. High-frequency electrosurgery or electroacupuncture is more suitable for treating smaller lesions of the cervix or vagina. Larger warts may require electrocautery in batches.

3. Laser treatment: It is suitable for superficial warts around the vulva and anus. It is characterized by rapid effect, and the warts will fall off at the time of treatment. The most commonly used method is carbon dioxide laser, which burns the warts and usually removes them in one treatment.

The article introduces several methods of treating genital warts, mainly physical therapy. Physical therapy has better effects, fewer side effects, and the wounds caused are also very small, so the recovery period is relatively short. However, in addition to these treatments, it is also very important to pay attention to personal hygiene, and also pay attention to the hygiene of your sexual partners and avoid promiscuous sex.
