Condyloma acuminatum is a disease caused by papillomavirus (HpV) and transmitted through sexual contact. At present, this disease is increasing worldwide and has become one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, with a prevalence rate of 0.5% to 1% among young adults.
Condyloma acuminatum is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in Europe and the United States, with the incidence rate rising year by year. Genital warts are also one of the main sexually transmitted diseases in China, accounting for 20% to 31% of all sexually transmitted disease patients in some regions. They are more common in southern China than in northern China, with onset ages ranging from 16% to 35 years old. Condyloma acuminatum is highly infectious and has a high incidence rate, ranking third only after foreign non gonococcal urethritis and gonorrhea. China ranks second after gonorrhea, with an annual growth rate of over 100%. Similar to AIDS, symptomatic condyloma acuminatum only represents the "iceberg" of infected people. Therefore, if subclinical infection is considered, more patients are infected with human papillomavirus.
This disease can naturally subside within a few months, but in a few patients, the lesion persists for many years and for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to detect and treat thoroughly as soon as possible. The modes of transmission of this infection include direct and indirect transmission. Sexual contact is the most common, and the greater the recent damage, the stronger the infectivity. It is estimated that 50% of one-time contact may be infected; Secondly, direct non sexual contact, such as autologous infection and neonatal transmission through the birth canal; Secondly, through indirect contact with pollutants. This disease is closely related to genital cancer, and therefore has increasingly attracted the attention of the medical community.
Due to the lack of special antiviral drugs, the treatment of genital warts must adopt comprehensive treatment, which can generally be cured by adhering to regular comprehensive treatment. Advocating safe behavior, strengthening personal hygiene, and strictly disinfecting electrical appliances contaminated with patient secretions are effective ways to prevent genital warts.
