Why do cervical warts always recur?

Cervical warts are no longer a rare STD in modern times, and the incidence among young people is gradually increasing. In the hospital, we often see some patients with cervical warts coming for treatment, many of whom are patients with recurrent cervical warts. So what are the factors that lead to the recurrence of cervical warts? Let's let the experts introduce it to us, hoping to help patients and friends.

1. Sexual partners are not treated at the same time, causing cross infection. Many patients conceal their medical history from their sexual partners, especially couples, who continue to have sex, infecting each other with germs, causing repeated cross infection, high recurrence rate of cervical warts, and long-term treatment is difficult to cure.

2. Improper treatment methods lead to recurrence, which is the main reason for the recurrence of cervical warts. At present, most hospitals use laser, freezing, electrotherapy, etc., but these methods can only remove the surface lesions, it cannot kill the virus in the cells and nucleus, and cannot eliminate subclinical infection. The virus is still in the body, leading to recurrence.

3. Irregular treatment affects the efficacy. Many patients who are diagnosed with cervical warts go to the hospital for treatment several times. When the symptoms are temporarily relieved or disappear, the patients think they are cured and stop treatment without authorization. However, the symptoms reappear soon after, which is also the reason for the recurrence of cervical warts.

4. Other reasons: such as decreased immune function of the patient, especially decreased cellular immune function, the inability of the virus to stimulate the body to produce a strong immune response, scratching or poor personal hygiene causing self-inoculation, etc. are all causes of recurrence of cervical warts.
