How to treat vaginal warts?

Vaginal warts, also known as genital warts, are the most common sexually transmitted diseases among men and women today. They usually appear around the genitals and anus, and have growths that look like balls, granulations, and cauliflowers. Professional examinations can be used to diagnose whether they are pseudo-genital warts. There are now a variety of medical methods for the treatment of genital warts. The specific treatment methods are introduced in detail below.

Western medicine treatment methods:

1. Surgical treatment

Single, small warts can be removed surgically; giant warts can be removed using Mohs surgery, with frozen sections used to check whether the lesions have been removed cleanly.

2. Cryotherapy

Using liquid nitrogen at a low temperature of -196℃, the freezing method is used to treat genital warts, which promotes the necrosis and shedding of wart tissue. This method is suitable for warts with a small number and small area. 1-2 treatments can be performed with an interval of one week.

3. Laser treatment

Genital warts are usually treated with a CO2 laser and ablative therapy. This treatment is most suitable for warts on the vulva, penis, or perianal area. Single or a small number of multiple warts can be treated once, while multiple or large warts can be treated 2-3 times, with an interval of one week between them.

4. Electrocautery

Use high-frequency electroacupuncture or electrosurgery to remove warts. Method: Local anesthesia, followed by electrocautery. This treatment is suitable for warts with a small number and small area.

5. Microwave therapy

Using a microwave surgical treatment machine and lidocaine local anesthesia, the tip of the rod-shaped radiation probe is inserted into the sharp wetness until it reaches the base of the wart. When the wart becomes smaller, darker in color, and changes from soft to hard, thermal radiation coagulation is complete and the probe can be removed. Coagulated lesions can be removed with forceps. To prevent recurrence, the remaining base can be coagulated again.

6. Beta-ray therapy

We have achieved relatively satisfactory results in the treatment of genital warts with β-rays. This method is highly effective, painless, damage-free, has few side effects, and a low recurrence rate, and is worth promoting in clinical practice.

7. Drug therapy

TCM treatment methods:

Treatment 1: External wash recipe for condyloma: 30g of Polygonum cuspidatum, 30g of Gentiana scabra, 30g of Rhubarb, 20g of Red Peony Root, 30g of Pomegranate Peel, 20g of Alum, 30g of Curcuma Atractylodes, 30g of Lithospermum officinale. Boil in water into 2000ml and scrub the warts with slightly wet solution for 15-20 minutes, twice a day.

The second method is to use appropriate amounts of crystal paste, lime water and glutinous rice. Soak glutinous rice in lime water for 24-36 hours, mash the glutinous rice into a paste for later use. Apply the paste directly on the wart once a day until the wart falls off.

After local anesthesia, place the moxa cone on the wart, light it and let it burn out. Depending on the size of the wart, 1-3 moxa cones are used each time, once a day, until the wart falls off.

The above are the treatment methods of genital warts by Chinese and Western medicine. Doctors need to consider the specific severity and symptoms of genital warts patients to decide the most appropriate treatment plan. As a patient, you not only need to cooperate with the doctor for treatment, but also pay more attention to hygiene issues in daily life. Personal items must be placed separately and not washed together with family members' underwear to prevent family members from being infected.
