What are the harms of cervical warts to women?

Cervical warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, which troubles many patients. The incidence of cervical warts in China is also relatively high, and the harm of cervical warts is also very great. However, there are still many friends who do not understand the harm of cervical warts, nor do they understand how harmful cervical warts are, so they do not pay attention to this disease. Now I will explain the harm of cervical warts in detail.

Women infected with HPV have a higher chance of developing cervical cancer than normal people, so the medical community usually considers patients infected with HPV as a high-risk group for cancer. It is very necessary for this group of people to undergo regular examinations to detect early signs of precancerous diseases. This includes not only female patients with cervical warts, but also the spouses of male patients with cervical warts, because they are very likely to be infected with HPV, even though they may not have exogenous warts.

Data show that there is a close relationship between cervical warts and genital cancer. It is reported that 5% to 10% of cervical warts on the vulva, cervix and perianal area may change and develop into carcinoma in situ or invasive cancer after a period of time. It is also found that 15% of penile cancer and 5% of female vulvar cancer occur on the basis of original cervical warts. Laboratory studies have also further shown that there is a causal relationship between HPV, cervical warts and genital cancer. Therefore, after suffering from cervical warts, it is necessary to actively treat and completely cure them.

Cervical warts recur repeatedly and are difficult to control, and the pain is sometimes severe. This causes patients to have too heavy a mental burden and develop psychological disorders (fear of cancer, fear of infecting sexual partners, avoiding sexual life with sexual partners, unwillingness to interact with the opposite sex, leading to sexual dysfunction), affecting family harmony and even causing depression. These invisible psychological pressures often have a greater and deeper impact on young people.

Therefore, when patients go to the hospital for examination, doctors should ask patients patiently and enthusiastically, and ensure confidentiality for patients with cervical warts. Doctors should not be sarcastic to them, because only when patients feel at ease to talk about their condition can they receive timely and correct treatment.
