Are cervical warts life-threatening?

If cervical warts are not treated, the condition will worsen, such as ulcers and bleeding. It may also cause local foreign bodies and discomfort as the lesions grow larger and more numerous. Since the diseased sites are mostly inside the foreskin, urethra, vagina, and perianal area, these sites are easily infected by microorganisms, leading to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain, and swelling at the lesion site.

Cervical warts are a contagious sexually transmitted disease that is extremely harmful. Although the disease is not a direct cause of death, if the patient does not receive treatment for a long time, cervical warts can cause lesions and even cancer, which can lead to the patient's death. Therefore, cervical warts can indirectly lead to the patient's death.

Will cervical warts kill you? According to authoritative experts, if cervical warts are not treated, they will cause the following harm to patients:

1. If cervical warts are not treated, the condition will worsen, such as ulcers and bleeding. It may also cause local foreign bodies and discomfort as the lesions grow larger and more numerous. Since the diseased sites are mostly in the foreskin, urethra, vagina, and perianal area, these sites are easily infected by microorganisms, leading to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain and swelling in the lesion sites.

2. More seriously, cervical warts can also lead to cancer. In recent years, epidemiological data have shown that there is a close relationship between human papillomavirus, cervical warts and malignant tumors in the genital area. In particular, cervical warts around the vulva, penis or anus can transform into squamous cell carcinoma.

3. In addition, pregnancy during the infection period or infection of pregnant women will also affect the healthy growth of the next generation. During delivery, the fetus may be infected if it passes through the birth canal infected with cervical warts or has close contact with the mother after birth, which may lead to cervical warts in infants and young children, laryngeal papilloma, etc.

According to surveys, cervical warts cause the death of 288,000 patients each year, especially female patients. There are many cases of women suffering from cervical warts and developing cervical cancer. Many women do not understand the correct treatment of the disease and use some inappropriate treatments for a long time, resulting in cervical warts becoming pathological, causing a series of diseases and ultimately leading to the death of patients.
