Can cervical warts be transmitted to children?

We have heard of cervical warts many times. Due to its high infectiousness, many people are reluctant to talk about this disease, thinking that sexually transmitted diseases are a very difficult disease to talk about. In fact, we should treat this disease correctly. Many people will ask if cervical warts can be contagious to children. The answer is yes. Regarding this issue, let's take a closer look at it.

The decline of the body's immune function is one of the important causes of cervical warts in children. Because the younger the child is, the more tender their skin is and the more susceptible it is to wear and tear. Cervical warts are more likely to occur when the skin and mucous membranes are injured or damaged. In addition, children, especially infants under 3 years old, have low immune function and are more susceptible to HPV, which leads to an increased incidence of cervical warts.

Many children are infected by their mothers, so relevant protective measures are necessary. Pregnant women with cervical warts can choose cesarean section to avoid infecting the fetus with the disease during delivery. Do not bathe with the baby in the same basin after delivery. If there are patients with cervical warts at home, the items they use must be strictly separated from the child to avoid transmitting the disease to the child. Daily necessities used on a daily basis should also be kept separate.

The transmission of cervical warts in children often occurs through indirect contact with objects. In order to prevent it from happening, children are required not to use other people's bathtubs and swimsuits, not to wear underwear casually, use showers in public baths, not wash in the basin, and not sit on the bath seat after bathing; use squat toilets in public toilets, wash hands with soap before and after going to the toilet, and do not swim in swimming pools with poor disinfection and high density. Change underwear and wash vulva every day, wash personal underwear separately, and use special underwear soap. Even family members should use separate towels, preferably one basin per person.

After reading the above article, people should understand that children are infected with cervical warts mainly through mother-to-child transmission. Therefore, for pregnant patients, in order for their babies to have a healthy body when they are born, pregnant patients must go to the hospital as soon as possible.
