The methods for treating genital warts are indeed numerous, all with a certain level of efficacy, but they all have varying degrees of recurrence rates. Therefore, the focus should be on preventing recurrence.
1. Timely and thorough treatment of existing conditions is essential. Doctors should choose different methods based on individual circumstances to provide careful treatment for patients, including men with genital warts. It's important to balance the breadth and depth of treatment, ensuring both reduction or prevention of recurrence while also reducing post-treatment infections and complications such as scarring. Special attention should be given to treating areas like vaginal and anal lesions. If both partners in a relationship are affected, simultaneous and thorough treatment for both is crucial.
2. Abstain from sexual activity during treatment. After being cured, regular follow-up checks are necessary, along with maintaining good sexual hygiene to keep the area clean and dry, thereby reducing the chance of recurrence.
3. Enhance immunity. Patients should alleviate mental concerns, maintain a balance between work and rest, pay attention to diet and living habits, warmth and humidity, to keep physical and mental health intact when dealing with genital wart treatment.
4. The fundamental way to prevent the recurrence of genital warts is to avoid re-exposure to the source of infection. Patients should remain morally upright, refrain from promiscuous sexual activities, and avoid reinfection.
With the annual increase in the incidence of genital warts and the potential for cancerous changes, it is critical to seek medical examination and treatment promptly after symptoms appear. Avoiding medical care due to stigma is not advisable.
