What are the hazards of common cervical warts

Cervical warts are a sexually transmitted disease that can be transmitted through unclean sexual contact. This disease often occurs in sexually active young people. In recent years, the incidence of cervical warts has been gradually increasing. So, what are the dangers of cervical warts? Let the experts introduce it to you below.

1. It is highly contagious and can be spread through sexual relations

More than 40% of patients have spouses who also suffer from cervical warts, and 20-30% of patients have other sexually transmitted diseases, which indicates that cervical warts are mainly transmitted through sexual relations, but a considerable number of patients' spouses or sexual partners do not have skin lesions, which may be related to the immune status of the infected person. The infection rate of cervical warts in patients with one sexual contact is as high as 60%, and it is prone to occur in parts that are easily damaged during sexual intercourse. However, clinically, not all contacts develop cervical warts, which may be related to the number of viruses contacted and the patient's disease stage.

2. Easy to relapse, long treatment time

Generally speaking, recurrence of cervical condylomata most often occurs within 3 months after treatment. As time goes by, the patient's infectiousness decreases, and the possibility of recurrence also decreases. If the patient does not relapse after 6 months of treatment, it is considered clinically cured. If there is no recurrence after one year of treatment, then the possibility of recurrence in the future is extremely small, and the possibility of infection is also extremely small. Therefore, the third month after treatment is a "hurdle". During this period, patients should go to the hospital at any time to check their condition, use medications reasonably, and do not change medications blindly.

3. Difficult to cure, and the disease recurs

The pathogen of cervical condyloma is human papillomavirus, which usually does not enter the blood. After entering the human body, it can lurk in the basal layer of the epidermis, and then enter the cell nucleus as the epidermis replicates, causing cell division and forming clinical skin lesions. Some patients have repeated attacks after treatment, which may be related to subclinical infection, latent infection or reinfection. After multiple treatments, most of them can control recurrence. There are also a few patients who carry the virus for a long time. After a period of time, the virus can be suppressed or even disappear due to the improvement of the body's immune status.

4. Lead to infertility and affect family harmony

After the cervical warts are completely cured, they are not contagious and will not affect pregnancy and childbearing. After regular treatment, if the symptoms disappear and there is no recurrence after one year, the patient can consider getting married and having children.

Experts remind: After understanding the harm of cervical warts, I believe that many patients will feel more or less relaxed. If you have cervical warts, you must go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment and refrain from sexual intercourse to avoid infecting the other person. I hope that friends with cervical warts can receive regular treatment in time and must not delay the treatment because of "face" issues.
