Genital warts and genital herpes can sometimes trigger penile cancer, cervical cancer, and anal cancer. AIDS is often accompanied by Kaposi's sarcoma. Genital warts are not classified and may undergo malignant transformation.

2、 Genital warts can affect other members of the family

The probability of one partner suffering from genital warts and the other partner suffering from genital warts is approximately 70%. In addition, it may also infect family members through close contact in daily life. Therefore, if there are sexually transmitted diseases in the family, attention should be paid to disinfection and isolation. Even if there are no obvious symptoms, other family members should also go to a regular hospital for examination.

3、 Genital warts have an impact on fertility

Syphilis or non gonococcal urethritis pathogens can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, leading to miscarriage, premature birth, embryonic death, congenital malformations, and fetal syphilis; Chlamydia trachomatis can cause intrauterine growth retardation; Spontaneous abortion is mainly related to genital warts, gonorrhea, mycoplasma or herpes simplex virus; Gonorrhea can lead to neonatal gonorrhea, defective newborn birth, neonatal ophthalmia, and blindness.

Generally speaking, the commonly used methods for preventing genital warts are:

After pregnant women suffer from genital warts, in order to avoid infecting the fetus during delivery, a cesarean section can be chosen. Do not bathe with the baby after giving birth.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: Cleaning the external genitalia every day, changing underwear, and cleaning personal underwear separately are the most basic requirements for preventing genital warts. Even family members should make a basin and separate the towels.

3. Resolutely eliminate sexual disorder: 60% of patients with genital warts are infected through sexual contact. One party in the family has contracted a disease from society, transmitted it to their spouse through sexual activity, or may transmit it to other members of the family through close life contact, which not only brings physiological pain, but also causes family discord and carries mental pressure. Therefore, improving sexual ethics and avoiding extramarital sexual behavior are important aspects of preventing genital warts.

4. Sexual activity is prohibited after the spouse falls ill. If the spouse only receives physical therapy and although the visible genital warts disappear, the patient still has human papillomavirus, they should also receive a comprehensive treatment of oral medication and external washing medication, and undergo a follow-up examination after treatment. During this period, if sexual activity occurs, condoms can be used for protection.
