Common complications of genital warts

　　Genital warts-[Common complications of genital warts]

　　1. Bacterial infection. Secondary bacterial infection after local treatment of genital warts is one of the most common complications during the treatment of genital warts. Secondary bacterial infection is clinical Symptoms mainly occur in the treated area. In mild cases, they include local redness and swelling, a small amount of secretion, and slight pain.； In severe cases, local redness, swelling, suppuration, and pain are obvious ； In severe cases, local lymphadenopathy, pain, fever and other general discomfort may occur.

　　(1) Causes of bacterial infection Complicated bacterial infections often occur after cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, etc. are used to treat genital warts. The reasons are as follows: a. The damage of genital warts is larger, and the treated sore area is larger and deeper; b. Insufficient local cleaning after treatment； c. If the patient does not pay attention to rest after treatment, the chance of local tissue friction will increase, further damaging the wound surface. ； d. Treat the sore surface incorrectly ； e. The patient's immune function is reduced and his resistance is low.

　　(2) Prevention and treatment of bacterial infection a. Clean the area before treating genital warts skin , local disinfection should be done before laser and surgical treatment. b. After freezing, laser and surgical treatment of genital warts, patients should pay attention to local hygiene and keep it dry. You can use 1:8000--1:10000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the local area. In addition, oral antibiotics can be given routinely for 3 days to prevent bacterial infection ； c. Patients should take proper rest and reduce activities. ； d. Patients should strengthen nutrition and improve their own immunity and resistance. ； e. After bacterial infection occurs, systemic antibiotic treatment and local antibacterial drug treatment should be strengthened.

　　2. Bleeding and erosion on the wound surface. After the removal of genital warts by corrosive drug therapy, cryotherapy and laser therapy, erosion and bleeding of varying severity may occur on the wound surface.

　　(1) Erosion shows no normal epidermis, exposing the moist surface, the base and edge skin are red, and there is varying amounts of exudate. The bleeding may be more obvious, such as damage to a larger blood vessel, or less obvious, such as a small amount of blood oozing, and there may be blood stains or scabs on the gauze, underwear and other parts of the wound.

　　(2) Causes of erosion or bleeding. Erosion occurs after treatment with corrosive drugs. After the drug removes genital warts, erosion will occur in varying degrees. In severe cases, ulcers may occur. This is caused by the properties of the drug itself. However, the degree of erosion can be controlled by people. For example, some doctors or patients do not have a clear understanding of the drugs they are using, and often use too much medication due to impatience, excessive treatment range, increased frequency of medication, etc., which can cause obvious erosion or ulcers. Bleeding often occurs during or after laser surgery or curettage.

　　The reasons are: a. The sore surface is too large and too deep, and the bleeding during the operation is not complete.； b. The scab falls off during cleaning of the sore surface ； c. The patient moves too much or strenuously after surgery, causing the sore surface to rub against the sore surface, or the sore surface to normal skin, or cause scabs to fall off.
