The cost of treating genital warts revealed

　　Netizens asked: How much does it cost to treat genital warts?

　　At present, the recurrence rate of genital warts is still high. Patients should go to the hospital regularly after treatment. Hospital Review is very necessary. Many friends want to know how much it costs to treat genital warts. Many friends think sexually transmitted diseases If you don’t go for treatment if you have to spend money, the consequences are actually very serious. In fact, the treatment of genital warts is not a simple matter of taking medicines and injections. It requires formal and systematic treatment to completely cure and ensure no recurrence. As for how much it costs to treat genital warts, you must not go to informal small clinics for treatment, and do not be greedy for cheap and suffer big losses.

　　Diagnostics don't have to cost a lot of money either. The diagnosis of genital warts is not difficult. Based on the typical appearance characteristics and growth location of the warts, an experienced doctor can judge it with the naked eye. If the appearance characteristics of warts are not very typical, you can use acetic acid white test or biopsy pathology to assist diagnosis. These two diagnostic auxiliary examinations are not expensive. Usually, most patients do not need both examinations to make a diagnosis.

　　Treatment generally does not cost too much. In regular large hospitals, the cost of removing warts is about a few hundred yuan. The overall cost of treatment for patients with recurring warts is slightly higher, but the cost of each treatment is generally only a few hundred yuan. The treatment methods mostly use physical therapy such as laser, microwave, freezing, electrocoagulation or local application of topical drugs to remove warts.

　　Once the warts are removed, it means that most of the viruses have been eliminated. Next, just follow good and correct living and eating habits and apply some topical drugs appropriately to prevent recurrence. For patients with very low immune function and repeated relapses, you can ask a well-known veteran Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment, but the overall cost is still not very high.

　　After warts are removed, many hospitals will ask patients to take infusions, oral medications, interferon or other treatments (such as red light, circulating water microwave, spectrum, etc.). The cost of these treatments usually ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands, but they have no definite effect on genital warts.

　　First of all, oral medicine and infusion are of little significance in the treatment of genital warts. Because the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes genital warts only survives in the superficial layers of the infected site skin The wart itself is where the virus is most concentrated, as well as its mucous membranes. It does not survive in the patient's own blood or body, so no infusion or medication is required. Moreover, there is currently no drug that specifically targets human papillomavirus.
