Is the probability of cervical warts being transmitted high?

How can cervical warts be transmitted? I believe that patients all know that doctors say that cervical warts are a contagious disease with a high infection rate. If you have it and don't take good precautions, you may pass it on to your family or friends. So do you know how girls' cervical warts can be transmitted? Let's take a look.

There are many ways of transmission of cervical warts, such as between lovers, husband and wife, mother and child, etc. If one of them has cervical warts, the possibility of the other also having cervical warts is very high.

Cervical warts transmission mode:

1. Direct sexual contact: This is the main route of transmission. According to research, 2/3 of people who have sexual contact with patients with cervical condylomata may develop the disease. The disease is most contagious when the average duration is 3.5 months, so people with promiscuous sex are most likely to be infected with the disease. Usually, it is transmitted through unclean sexual intercourse, through damaged skin and mucous membranes. Survey data show that cervical condylomata mostly occur in young people aged 20-30, and most of these patients have a history of unclean sex outside of marriage.

2. Indirect object transmission: It can be transmitted through daily necessities such as underwear, bathtubs, and bath towels. One thing that needs to be noted is that if women wear nylon underwear for a long time and do not pay attention to cleaning the vulva, candidal vaginitis or trichomonas vaginitis is likely to occur, or if there is an increase in leucorrhea caused by other infections, the local immersion and moisture provide favorable conditions for the inoculation and breeding of papillomavirus, that is, women with vaginitis are likely to develop this disease even if they have no history of unclean sex.

3. Mother-to-child transmission: Cervical warts or laryngeal papillomatosis in infants and young children and cervical warts in children may be caused by the fetus passing through the HPV-infected birth canal during delivery or by close contact with the mother after birth.
