Genital warts, also known as condyloma acuminata, are a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease. The early symptoms of genital warts manifest as small papules on the external genitals or around the anus. These are usually moist, soft, and pale pink in color. Over time, they gradually increase in number and size, potentially merging to form cauliflower-like or nipple-like growths. These can bleed or exude fluids when touched. It is crucial to seek timely and appropriate treatment for genital warts in their early stages to avoid serious complications.

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is highly contagious and recurrent. Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted disease, primarily transmitted through direct sexual contact. Some patients might be infected through contact with contaminated towels or bedding, such as in hotels, during bathing, or using a toilet, although the chances of such infections are very low. Clinically, the infections are mainly due to sexual contact. After contracting this disease, it's crucial to seek standardized treatment at a reputable hospital. Common treatments include using lasers to remove the warts, followed by topical or injectable interferon treatments. The treatment period can be lengthy and may often involve recurrent outbreaks requiring repeated treatments. With persistent, long-term treatment, it is possible to completely cure the condition.

Can genital warts be contagious during the incubation period?

Genital warts are caused by an HPV virus infection, commonly known as the human papillomavirus. This disease is highly contagious, with a very high chance of being infected through sexual contact. The incubation period varies from person to person, generally ranging from half a month to eight months, and it can be contagious during the incubation period. This is because the virus can adhere to the mucous membranes of the body and can be transmitted to others through sexual contact during the incubation period. Treatment during the incubation period primarily focuses on enhancing immunity and antiviral methods. Besides medication, regular exercise can help strengthen immunity. If warts are detected, it is important to seek formal treatment in the dermatology department of a regular hospital.

The most common treatment involves the use of lasers to remove the warts, followed by antiviral medication. This disease has a high recurrence rate, so it is essential to persist with the treatment over the long term. Complete recovery is possible eventually. Additionally, it's important to exercise regularly to boost the immune system.
