What are the specific hazards of cervical warts?

Cervical warts are a sexually transmitted disease. If you don't take precautions, you can spread the disease to other members of society or family members, affecting the physical and mental health of others, causing harm to society and even family discord. Some patients with cervical warts have repeated recurrences, which causes the patient to have too much mental burden and psychological problems, avoid sex with their spouse, cause sexual dysfunction, and affect work and life.

If cervical warts are not treated in time, they will continue to grow and increase in number. They may also merge with each other to take on nipple-like, cockscomb-like, cobblestone-like, cauliflower-like appearances, and may vary in size and grow into huge genital warts.

There is often itching and pressure, and if there is bacterial infection, there may be a foul odor. The compression of nearby tissues and organs will cause corresponding compression symptoms. Among the common sexually transmitted diseases, cervical warts are the most difficult to treat, and the incidence of cervical warts has increased rapidly in recent years.

Cervical warts are caused by papillomavirus, which grows and reproduces easily in a warm and humid environment, so the external genitalia is the most suitable site. Healthy people can be infected by contacting daily necessities contaminated by virus particles, such as underwear, bathtubs, and bath towels.

The body's immune function and antiviral ability are reduced, so systemic antiviral treatment is required to improve the body's immune ability. If patients with cervical warts are not treated actively and thoroughly, especially those with high-risk viruses, they are highly contagious and can be transmitted to family members or other people, causing infection.

The more contagious cervical warts are, the more the body's immune system is suppressed, the harder it is to recover from the disease, and the disease can recur over a long period of time. Finally, it may lead to cancer. About 15% of cervical warts and 10% of vulvar and perianal warts can develop into malignant tumors; 9% of vulvar cancer is induced by cervical warts.
