What is the cause of the granulation at the vaginal opening?

If a female friend finds granulations at the opening of her vagina, she may be suffering from genital warts. There are several factors that cause this disease, including sexual infection, excessive drinking, and immune dysfunction.

The main factors causing condyloma acuminatum

Sexual infection: relevant data show that, within a certain range, the age of sexual life is also a risk factor for genital warts. The incidence and recurrence rates of those who first have sexual intercourse before the age of 19 are significantly increased; male commercial sex workers are a high-risk group for genital warts.

Drinking alcohol is mainly because drinking alcohol can easily affect the activity of the body's T lymphocytes, thereby suppressing the body's immunity. At the same time, alcohol can inhibit the central nervous system, reduce anxiety, enhance sexual desire, and increase high-risk sexual behavior, which to a certain extent increases the occurrence and recurrence of genital warts.

Immune dysfunction. Generally speaking, low immunity of patients can easily cause the invasion of some viruses. The incidence and recurrence rate of genital warts are significantly increased, and the warts are also larger in size.

Age and gender: According to relevant surveys, 80% of genital warts occur in young people aged 16-34, and the peak age of onset is 20-25 years old. The average age of onset for males is 22 years old, and for females is 19 years old; the male-to-female ratio is approximately 1:1.4. Another study found that being younger than 25 years old is a risk factor for anogenital warts in women.

Contact transmission: Genital warts are mostly caused by direct contact infection. Children are infected through close contact with patients with genital warts or HPV infections, such as their parents, other family members, nannies, and preschool teachers in their daily lives. These contacts may be genital wart lesions, lesion secretions, and clothing and towels contaminated with HPV.

Contraceptive measures: Many research results show that condoms can prevent HPV infection, so consistent use of condoms can prevent the occurrence of genital warts. Other studies have shown that the incidence of genital warts in women taking birth control pills is higher than those who do not take them.
