Symptoms of patients with genital warts

　　clinical Performances vary. Damages in the genitals where the temperature is low and are dry often appear small and flat, while in warm and moist areas they often appear filamentous or papillomatous. It starts as small light red papules, and then gradually enlarges and merges with each other. The surface is uneven, moist and soft, and it is papilloma-like, cockscomb-like, grass-like, mushroom-like or cauliflower-like protrusions. It is red or dirty gray. The roots often have pedicles, and are prone to erosion, exudation, and bleeding. Purulent secretions often accumulate in the cracks of the skin lesions, causing a foul odor, conscious itching, and secondary infection caused by scratching. Due to constant exposure to local moisture and chronic irritation, they often grow rapidly. some female The patient even has a patch of hairy spines or many small cauliflower-like protrusions from the vulva to the vagina, cervix, etc., like rose-colored thorns or cockscombs. The number of genital warts ranges from a few to more than ten, dozens or even hundreds. In a very small number of patients, due to untimely treatment, genital warts grow very large and become giant genital warts, which can penetrate deeply and produce many fistulas leading to the urethra or malignantly turn into cancer after 5-40 years. Large genital warts that occur in the rectum can cause tenesmus. When the hormone levels in the body change drastically during pregnancy, the blood supply to the genitals is abundant and the body's immune function decreases. Therefore, the size of genital warts also increases rapidly, even to the extent of blocking the birth canal. Warts often bleed due to friction and tearing during childbirth. Because their tissues are fragile, it will be difficult to stop the bleeding with suturing. Some genital warts can naturally shrink or even disappear at the end of pregnancy or after childbirth. Generally, there are no obvious subjective symptoms, except for itching, dampness or friction. If there is secondary infection, it may be accompanied by pain. When the vagina and cervix are damaged, it may manifest as increased leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse. A large rash may cause a local foreign body sensation or pain due to friction. Symptoms may worsen during sexual intercourse.

　　Some cases are subclinical infections or HPV virus carriers with no visible clinical manifestations. After pregnant women suffer from genital warts, human papilloma virus can be transmitted to them during delivery baby , causing laryngeal warts and laryngeal papillomas. Even if there are no clinical symptoms after maternal infection, the virus can be transmitted to the mother through the blood or placenta fetus , so it is appropriate for women with this disease to have a caesarean section when their pregnancy reaches full term.
