Are cervical warts serious?

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease that both men and women can have. The main cause is unclean sexual life, so people must maintain good habits in their relationships, avoid unclean sexual life, and especially avoid having multiple sexual partners. For women, cervical warts may also occur, but are cervical warts serious? If the disease is not treated promptly, it will cause lifelong regrets to the body, such as infertility.

Genital warts are a highly sexually transmitted disease that is more difficult to treat than other diseases. Female patients are more difficult to cure than male patients. If female cervical warts are not treated in time, it will have a huge negative impact on future fertility. This disease is very scary and patients are prone to lose confidence in treatment. However, early detection and treatment can control the disease.

How to treat cervical warts?

1. Topical medications

Topical medications are a common treatment method. They are relatively safe and cause little pain to patients. However, there are some matters that require special attention. Some topical medications are highly corrosive and will affect other tissues in the patient's diseased area. Long-term use of the medications will bring strong side effects to the body and will not be conducive to subsequent treatment.

2. Electrocautery

Electrocautery is one of the more traditional treatment methods. The general method is to use a high-frequency electric knife to cauterize genital warts and other skin growths. This method is simple to operate and has quick effects, but it causes great damage, leaves scars, the burn wounds recover slowly, and has a high recurrence rate.

3. Surgical Resection

For some pedunculated, larger, isolated warts, surgical removal may be considered, but surgical treatment of genital warts is prone to recurrence, resulting in treatment failure, so surgical removal is generally not recommended. However, surgical removal may be considered for pedunculated, larger warts or those suspected of malignancy.

Combined with the above treatment methods, female friends should have a better understanding of how to treat cervical warts, but it should be noted that any treatment method should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. In addition, for patients whose disease is not responsive to the above treatments or whose disease relapses repeatedly, traditional Chinese medicine can be tried.
