Are cervical warts life-threatening?

As the incidence of cervical warts gradually increases, many people have questions about cervical warts. The first thing that comes to everyone's mind is, of course, whether cervical warts are fatal. Next, our relevant experts will give you a very detailed explanation on this issue.

Most people believe that the greatest harm caused by sexually transmitted diseases to the human body is skin lesions, and that they do not endanger life. In fact, this depends on the severity of the disease. For sexually transmitted diseases such as cervical warts that are prone to recurrence, if the disease is not treated for a long time, it will develop into a malignant tumor or even cancer, which will endanger the patient's life and health, and the consequences are very serious.

Many people in society do not fully understand the harmfulness of cervical warts. This is because the disease is mild in the early stages and there are no symptoms. This creates a false impression for patients. Once sexually transmitted diseases develop to a certain extent, they may become cancerous, such as malignant tumors, uterine cancer, etc. The disease can be transmitted through direct sexual contact. Two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with patients with cervical warts will be infected, and the disease is most contagious within 3 months. Indirect infection may occur through contact with items contaminated by the patient's secretions, such as underwear, bathtubs, towels, etc. Cervical warts can also be transmitted to newborns through the birth canal during delivery or through direct contact with sick parents after birth.

The cause of cervical condyloma is relatively complicated and there is no specific medicine for its treatment. Patients need to have the confidence to be cured in the long term. Only by continuous treatment can the pain be gradually relieved. Commonly used methods include drug maintenance and surgical treatment, such as freezing and laser, but they often leave great trauma. The recurrence rate after the first treatment is as high as 74%. Therefore, when removing the exogenous warts, treatment should be continued for a period of time to prevent recurrence. For those who have recurred many times and have rapidly enlarged in a short period of time, especially those with ulcers and foul odor on the surface, pathological examination should be carried out as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of malignant transformation.

Advanced medical technology is very developed, and there are many treatments for cervical warts. As long as we treat the disease symptomatically before it develops to a serious level, it can still alleviate the symptoms and will not be fatal. However, if we neglect treatment and have a fluke mentality, the condition will rapidly deteriorate and it is very likely that we will die.
