A comprehensive inventory of misunderstandings in the treatment of genital warts

　　There are too many misunderstandings in the treatment of genital warts, which take advantage of people's reluctance to speak out. These include:

　　1. Surgery is universal

　　Surgical procedures include freezing, laser, electrocautery, surgery, etc. Although wart removal is faster, it can only target visible warts. It is also painful, risky, expensive to treat, and recovery is slow. The most critical point is that it cannot remove the surrounding warts. skin The latent virus in the virus can easily relapse if warts are removed without removing the virus.

　　2. One-time cure

　　Some patients are in a hurry to see a doctor, hoping that the disease can be cured in a short period of time, and it is easy to believe the lies of one-time cure. At present, at least there is no treatment method that can cure genital warts in a few minutes or dozens of minutes. Please do not believe it.

　　3. Gene or vaccine therapy

　　Some medical institutions are promoting gene or vaccine therapy, but in reality, no genes or vaccines have yet been released, so genital warts cannot be prevented yet.

　　4. The virus is in the body (in the blood)

　　Some unscrupulous doctors or clinics take advantage of patients' ignorance of the disease and tell them that the virus is in the body (in the blood) and that injections or medicines are needed to clear the virus from the body. The truth is that the virus is mainly limited to skin and mucous membrane epithelial cells.

　　5. Blood test and virus typing

　　So far, serological methods cannot be used to confirm HPV infection and HPV typing. So far, due to the inability of HPV to be cultured in tissue cells and the difficulty of its proliferation in vitro, the HPV type cannot be determined by isolating the virus. HPV typing is mainly determined based on DNA hybridization experiments of cloned genes, that is, nucleic acid hybridization and zymogram analysis.
