What are the symptoms of cauliflower disease?

What we commonly call cauliflower disease is actually genital warts. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease mainly caused by infection with the human papillomavirus. After suffering from this disease, the patient's vagina will develop cauliflower-shaped bumps. Many people can judge whether they have this disease by the symptoms of genital warts. However, many people are still not very clear about the symptoms of cauliflower disease.

(I) What is cauliflower disease in women?

Cauliflower-like growths are one of the typical symptoms of genital warts in women, and are clinically called cauliflower-like genital warts. Cauliflower-like condyloma acuminatum initially appears as light pink or dirty red millet-sized growths that are soft in nature and slightly pointed at the top. They gradually increase in size and grow into a cauliflower shape that is white, light red or dirty gray in color, with a moist surface and accompanied by itching and a feeling of pressure. Female genital warts generally occur on the vulva, vagina, cervix, and perianal area, and it is common for all two sites to occur at the same time.

If cauliflower-shaped condyloma acuminatum is not effectively treated clinically, the warts will continue to grow larger and more numerous, and may mix into a cockscomb shape or even a large mass.

If the patient scratches due to itching, it may cause ulceration, followed by suppuration, resulting in pus discharge, foul odor, and pain. If not treated in time, it will seriously affect your health.

Clinical practice of sexually transmitted diseases shows that in the early stage of genital warts, a needle tip or millet-sized reddish or skin and mucous membrane-colored papule appears at the site of disease. The color of genital warts is mostly red or light red, but can also be light white to grayish white, and may also vary depending on the location and type of lesions.

The lesion can occur individually, which is called single lesion, or multiple lesions can occur simultaneously or successively, which is called multiple lesions. The lesions then gradually grow outside the skin or mucous membrane, and gradually grow larger and increase in number. Some lesions can fuse with each other to form growths or tumors of various sizes and shapes. This is the overt condyloma acuminatum seen clinically.

If cauliflower-shaped condyloma acuminatum is not effectively treated clinically, the warts will continue to grow larger and more numerous, and may mix into a cockscomb shape or even a large mass. If the patient scratches because of itching, it may cause ulceration and suppuration may occur afterwards.

Early symptoms of genital warts: Genital warts are one of the common sexually transmitted diseases and seriously threaten human health. Genital warts in women are characterized by local itching and pain, while a small number of patients are asymptomatic. Growth sites: vulva, vagina, cervix, and perianal area. It is common for two sites to occur at the same time. Local manifestations are small pink or gray papules, which are wart-like protrusions and often fuse to form cauliflower-like growths.

If genital warts are not treated in time, they will continue to grow and increase in number. They may also merge with each other to take on a nipple-like, cockscomb-like, cobblestone-like, cauliflower-like appearance, and may vary in size and grow into huge genital warts. There is often itching and a feeling of pressure, and if there is a bacterial infection, there may be a foul odor. Compression of adjacent tissues and organs causes corresponding compression symptoms.

Among the common sexually transmitted diseases, genital warts are the most difficult to treat, and the incidence of genital warts has increased rapidly in recent years.

Genital warts are caused by papillomavirus and easily grow and reproduce in a warm and humid environment, so the external genitalia is a more suitable site. A small number of people may be infected with cauliflower virus through contact with daily necessities contaminated with virus particles, such as underwear, bathtubs, and bath towels.

(1) Transmission through sexual contact. The biggest way of spreading cauliflower disease is through unclean sexual life. It is found that most women who are sick are due to this reason.

(2) Indirect transmission through contact with objects. If a woman comes into contact with underwear, bathtubs, towels, or bedpans used by a patient with condyloma acuminatum, she may be infected with the virus, which may lead to condyloma acuminatum.

(3) Self-vaccination. Patients with genital warts often scratch the affected area. If they do not pay attention to hygiene and touch other parts of their body after scratching, they may cause self-infection.

Warm reminder: Genital warts are very harmful to the body. Therefore, once you are diagnosed with the disease, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time and do various nursing work to effectively ensure that the disease is completely cured. The recurrence rate of genital warts is also very high. Therefore, for a period of time after stopping treatment, women need to do various care work to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

2. How to treat cauliflower disease in women

(I) Photodynamic therapy for cauliflower disease in women

The basic principle of photodynamic therapy: The role of PDT mainly includes direct killing of cell vascular damage, obvious severe inflammation

reaction. Vascular damage is an important factor in photodynamic therapy of tumor damage, which selectively kills positive cells in the area of ​​genital warts virus through two pathways: apoptosis and necrosis.

Features of photodynamic therapy:

1 PDT can selectively kill tumor cells and abnormally proliferating cells after virus infection without damaging normal cells. It is particularly suitable for particularly sensitive areas that are difficult to heal with conventional methods such as surgery, laser, freezing, etc., such as the urethra.

2 Applications----Photodynamic therapy is a simple method of direct drug administration, easy to operate and can be repeated. It has high target tissue selectivity, few adverse reactions and high safety.

3. The treatment has a good cosmetic effect and does not leave scars

4It has the significance of positioning diagnosis

The onset of any sexually transmitted disease is nothing more than direct unclean sexual intercourse, but this is only the main route of transmission of genital warts. For the genital warts type, the disease can be caused not only by sexual intercourse, but also by indirect contact with virus-infected objects, so this is the reason why the incidence of the disease is high.

1. Directly engaging in unclean sexual intercourse is what we call self-inoculation in daily life. Clinically, more than 80% of patients become ill due to this transmission route. If a couple both suffer from genital warts, both should be treated at the same time. Because treatment for only one party is ineffective, even if the treatment is thorough, it will still cause mutual infection during sexual life. Therefore, genital warts must be treated by both husband and wife at the same time to be effective.

2. Maternal transmission generally refers to pregnant women with genital warts who become pregnant when the disease has not been cured. The virus can be transmitted to the fetus through the infected reproductive tract. Therefore, in order to avoid infecting the fetus during delivery, cesarean section can be chosen. Do not bathe in the same tub with your baby after delivery.

3. Contact transmission. This method is when healthy people come into close contact with substances infected with genital warts, causing the disease. When patients come into contact with objects containing HPV pathogens, such as personal hygiene products such as underwear and towels; public hygiene products such as bathtubs and tubs, etc., contact transmission will occur.

The above three are the main ways of causing genital warts. I hope everyone can realize the seriousness of these problems and actively take preventive measures. If you are unfortunately sick, you must adjust your mentality, seek medical treatment in time, and analyze the many causes so that you can diagnose the disease. Then, through scientific symptomatic treatment, you can achieve the goal of cure.
