Genital warts are a type of lesion on the human skin. The skin where genital warts grow is infected by the virus. Many women will grow genital warts in their vagina or anus. It may be that women do not pay enough attention to their private hygiene, leading to viral infection. In addition, the environment of women's private parts is usually humid, which is very conducive to the development of the virus. Let’s take a look at what female genital warts are. Female genital warts are epithelial proliferative lesions caused by human papillomavirus infection and are one of the important sexually transmitted diseases. Warm and moist vulvar skin and mucous membranes are conducive to their growth and reproduction, forming vulvar or vaginal condyloma acuminatum. Causes 1. Bad sexual behavior Most sexually transmitted diseases are caused by bad sexual behavior. If a woman has multiple sexual partners, she is more likely to have genital warts. Women who have sexual intercourse at a young age are also very likely to suffer from genital warts. If they suffer from genital warts at a very young age, it will have a serious impact on their future fertility. 2. Weak immune function Patients with weakened immune function are easily infected by certain diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, malignant tumors, kidney transplants, and those using glucocorticoids. The risk of developing and recurring genital warts will increase exponentially, and the warts will also be large and difficult to treat. Patients with low immune function must be careful to protect their bodies and take various preventive measures in life to effectively prevent the occurrence of genital warts. 3. Other sexually transmitted diseases Some other sexually transmitted diseases are also very likely to cause women to develop genital warts. Diseases such as gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, and fungal infections can destroy the mucosal protective barrier, reduce the ability to resist infection, and make the local environment of the genitals moist, making it easy for viruses to breed and multiply, thus causing women to suffer from genital warts. Clinical manifestations Female patients are greatly harmed by genital warts. When genital warts occur on the vulva of women, the most typical symptom is that there are very few soft and tiny pink papules in the early stage of the disease. Then, as the disease progresses, they will further increase in number and size, and the papules will merge or overlap with each other. The surface looks very uneven, like a wart. Because some areas are very humid and hot and have chronic irritation, the warts will grow rapidly and eventually become shapes of different sizes, such as nipple-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, cockscomb-shaped or mushroom-shaped. These warts are very soft and will bleed easily when touched. During the onset of genital warts, some patients produce white, dirty or red secretions that soak into the surface of the warts, causing great inconvenience to the lives of female patients. The root of the wart is very narrow and has a stalk. The surface is also very moist, and there is often exudation, erosion, and skin damage. At the same time, there are very purulent secretions pushed inside the cracks, so bacterial infection is very likely to occur, and there is also a very strong foul odor. The symptoms women feel are that the affected area is very itchy, with a burning sensation or a feeling of pressure. |
