What are the characteristics of cervical warts? Speaking of cervical warts, I believe many female friends are very troubled. It is a sexually transmitted disease, which brings serious harm to patients and partners, so everyone must do early detection and early treatment. So, what are the characteristics of cervical warts?

Cervical warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and are transmitted through sexual contact. They are more common in young women. The symptoms of cervical warts are often manifested as a small number of soft, reddish papules at first, which gradually increase in size and tend to merge or overlap with each other. The surface is uneven and warty.

Symptoms of cervical warts may include itching, burning pain or pressure. Anal and rectal warts may cause pain and a feeling of tenesmus. Vaginal and cervical warts may cause sexual intercourse pain and increased vaginal discharge. After women are infected with cervical warts, local damp heat and chronic stimulation often cause them to rapidly enlarge, forming symptoms of different lesions of varying sizes, such as nipple-shaped, cauliflower-shaped, cockscomb-shaped or mushroom-shaped.

It is soft in nature and easily bleeds when touched. The surface is white, dirty or red due to the infiltration of secretions. The root of the wart is narrow and often has a stalk. The surface is moist and often has exudation, erosion, and purulent secretions accumulated in the cracks of the skin lesions. It is easy to develop secondary bacterial infection and emit a foul odor.

In order to prevent the occurrence of this disease, it is necessary to avoid all unclean sexual intercourse, do not share underwear and bath towels with others, and do not take a bath in a public bathroom. When a husband suffers from genital warts, he must be isolated for treatment and cannot have sex before recovery; even if the rash is completely eliminated and has not recurred, the husband should wear a condom during sex for half a year. If the woman or her husband suffers from other sexually transmitted diseases, they should also go to the hospital to check whether they are infected with the genital wart virus.
