Can I get pregnant if I have genital warts?

Generally speaking, if you suffer from genital warts, it is not recommended to have children. However, specific situations need to be treated specifically. The genital warts virus can be directly transmitted to the fetus through the uterine cavity, and may also affect the normal development of the fetus. If you want to have children, it is best to consult a doctor first and see if you can have children under the doctor's guidance. Women must pay attention to personal hygiene and keep themselves clean.

Genital warts often coexist with other sexually transmitted diseases. 20% of patients have gonorrhea, 18% have candidal infection, 16% have trichomoniasis, and a small number of patients are prone to itching. Genital warts can invade any part of the vulva, so when itching occurs, there will often be vulva damage, which makes it easy to get infected after sexual intercourse. In women, the lesions can easily spread to the area around the myofascia. Most lesions are asymptomatic at first, with occasional itching and bleeding due to scratching. So, can women with genital warts get pregnant? If genital warts occur on the vulva and are relatively small, they generally will not affect normal conception.

However, if the non-genital warts are larger, they are often accompanied by foul-smelling secretions, which can easily cause psychological disorders or loss of libido. If the warts on the cervix clog the cervix, it will affect the movement of sperm and thus affect the normal conception of women. However, it is usually temporary and pregnancy is completely possible if it can be actively cured.

Genital warts occurring on the vulva do not affect conception if the warts are small and scattered. Unless the warts are large, close to the vaginal opening, and have foul-smelling secretions, causing psychological disorders or loss of libido, they can only cause temporary pain. When the warts on the cervix gather into clumps and block the opening of the uterus, affecting the movement of sperm, it will affect conception, but it is all temporary infertility and pregnancy is still possible after recovery. For women with genital warts who are pregnant, it is important to pay attention to pregnancy checkups at this time.

Genital warts are very harmful. It is best not to have a child before the disease is completely cured to avoid causing harm to the child. For women who become pregnant after the disease, they should pay attention to regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital and pay close attention to the health of themselves and their children.

Pregnant women are more susceptible to genital warts due to changes in their endocrine and immune functions, and their symptoms are more severe than those of non-pregnant women. For example, the growths of genital warts may increase significantly in size and number, and sometimes the growths on the vulva and vagina may protrude from the vulva and vagina, and even cause vaginal obstruction.

In the later stages of pregnancy, the tissue of genital warts is very fragile and easily bleeds when damaged, so some women suffer heavy bleeding during vaginal delivery. In addition, the virus replicates faster during pregnancy and can cause cervical epithelial tumors.

When an infected mother gives birth, the fetus may become infected as it passes through the birth canal carrying the virus, causing the infant or young child to develop genital warts or oral papillomavirus.

Although newborns delivered by cesarean section avoid the vagina, the investigation still found that the virus could be detected in the baby's foreskin and mouth. It is possible that intrauterine infection occurred through the placenta before delivery. It is generally believed that the fetus is infected by swallowing amniotic fluid containing the virus.

In addition, some commonly used drugs such as podophyllotoxin may cause teratogenesis and miscarriage during treatment of pregnant women.
