What are the early symptoms of cervical warts

Cervical warts are a relatively serious disease in today's life. Although serious, they are not impossible to prevent and treat. The main thing is that everyone can detect the disease in time in the early stage of the disease, so that the disease can be curbed in the early stage. All of these require everyone to first understand some knowledge about the early symptoms of cervical warts.

The initial symptoms of cervical condyloma are small and soft reddish papules, the size of a needle cap or a grain of rice, which gradually increase in size and number, becoming papilloma-like, cauliflower-like, cockscomb-like or mushroom-like growths with an uneven surface and soft texture. If not treated in time, the warts will gradually increase in size, some becoming large cauliflower-like with a pedicle at the base; some merge with each other to become large masses, light gray, with papilloma-like surfaces, and may have erosions, ulcers, and secretions, and secondary infections may cause foul odors. Patients generally have no subjective symptoms.

The epithelium of the cervical os is the transitional part from the vaginal stratified squamous epithelium to the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal. Although it is not a common site for cervical condyloma, once infected by HPV16 and 18, epithelial cells are prone to atypical hyperplasia and even invasive cancer. Cervical epithelial infection is often subclinical infection. Apply gauze soaked in 3% to 5% acetic acid solution to the local area, and the damage is more clearly visible under colposcopy.

In the early stages of cervical warts, the affected area is often moist, and some patients will have increased local secretions, and the chance of bacterial infection will also increase. If a bacterial infection occurs, symptoms such as local redness, swelling, and pain will appear.

I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone.
