Mr. Wang had an unprotected sexual history when he went out to work a year ago. Soon after, several small swellings appeared around his anus with pus discharge. They were itchy at first and then became painful. When Mr. Wang was taking a shower, he touched the area and found 3-4 small objects similar to millet grains around his anus. After checking the symptoms online, it seemed like one of the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). He consulted many patients and experts online who said that this disease is difficult to cure and has contagious properties, and sexual activity should be avoided during the illness. This made Mr. Wang very anxious, so he started looking for treatment options everywhere. He saw on the internet that Zhengzhou Huashan Anus and Intestine Hospital had successfully treated many cases, so he communicated with the online doctor. The next day, Mr. Wang went to Zhengzhou Huashan Anus and Intestine Hospital for treatment. After examination by the experts, he was diagnosed with anal wart disease. The HCPT surgery was used to ablate the warts, followed by medication for further treatment. Under the guidance of the hospital's integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment philosophy, Mr. Wang’s condition was finally cured, and he felt greatly relieved. Experts from Zhengzhou Huashan Anus and Intestine Hospital introduced that anal wart disease is one type of STD, which tends to recur easily after treatment, so prevention is recommended. Anal wart disease is highly contagious and can spread through various means other than sexual transmission. Therefore, people should not assume that they are safe from anal warts just because they have not been unfaithful. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices in daily life. Prevention of anal warts includes:
1. Washing the anus after defecation and before sleep, keeping the anal area clean and dry. If there is any damage to the anal skin, it should be treated promptly.
2. Avoid using unsterilized bathtubs, towels, or sit-down toilets.
3. Treat any underlying conditions such as abnormal vaginal discharge, gonorrhea, or phimosis.
4. Maintain good living habits and keep the anal area clean to effectively prevent anal warts.
5. Actively treat genital warts and other areas if present. If your partner has this disease, avoid sexual intercourse to prevent transmission.
The treatment cost for anal warts:
Anal warts can significantly affect the anal area, sometimes even impacting the skin and reproductive organs. Moreover, anal warts are highly contagious, and patients are generally advised to abstain from sexual activity. Regarding the treatment cost for anal warts, the medical staff at Zhengzhou Huashan Anus and Intestine Hospital explained: From Mr. Wang's case, we can see that the treatment mainly involves surgically removing all anal warts, followed by intravenous antiviral therapy, and internal and external medications. The costs primarily include surgical fees and postoperative rehabilitation drug fees. Since the disease is lingering and difficult to treat, it usually requires a longer recovery time. Therefore, the treatment cost may vary slightly depending on the patient's recovery time.
