Condyloma acuminata, also known as genital warts, sharp warts, and sexually transmitted disease warts, is an epidermal tumor-like hyperplasia caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It occurs in the genitalia, perineum, and anal areas (in rare cases, it can occur in the armpits, breasts, oral cavity, ears, and throat). Condyloma acuminata often has no noticeable symptoms, but it can easily bleed when rubbed. Some patients experience pain and itching. Anal, rectal, vaginal, and cervical condyloma acuminata may cause pain, painful intercourse, increased local secretions or leukorrhea. If a secondary infection occurs or if cleaning is insufficient, there may be a foul smell. In cases of liver disease or during pregnancy in female patients, the wart may grow rapidly, and the skin damage may not heal for a long time.
To prevent condyloma acuminata from taking advantage of opportunities, we should pay attention to the following during sexual activity:
1. Using condoms during sexual intercourse can effectively prevent the mutual transmission of the condyloma acuminata virus.
2. Secondly, the sexual act should not be too rough; try to be gentle to avoid breaking the mucous membrane of the genitals. The integrity of the genital mucosa is a beneficial barrier to prevent viral invasion.
3. Both partners should thoroughly clean their external genitalia before sexual activity.
4. Avoid extramarital sexual behavior.
