　　Interview background: Sexually transmitted diseases are a very ancient infectious disease that spreads widely around the world, and its incidence rate remains high. Sexually transmitted diseases have existed since ancient times. However, due to the expansion of human activities, increased communication, and more casual sexual behaviors, the scope of sexually transmitted diseases is constantly expanding. In the process of human evolution, sexual activities have always played an important role. Confucius said: "Food and sex are also related to sex." The disease can come from the mouth or from sexual intercourse. In ancient medical books, there are records of "lead syndrome", "cancerous sores", "plumb sores", etc. However, some sexually transmitted diseases are not inherent in our country, but originated from Sino-foreign exchanges and were transmitted from foreign countries. For example, syphilis was introduced in the 13th century by Grape Ya merchants were introduced to Lingnan in my country and spread from south to north. Of course, some sexually transmitted diseases did not exist in ancient times, such as AIDS It is an infectious disease that was only recognized in the 1980s. It began to spread among homosexuals and was highly fatal. It was later confirmed to be caused by infection with an immunodeficiency virus (called HIV). It can be called a modern disease. In recent years, sexually transmitted diseases have spread rapidly in our country, and the incidence rate has continued to increase, seriously threatening people's health. healthy and social development!

　　There is no completely unified standard for the diseases included in STDs. It is a dynamic development process. Conceptually, when an infectious disease is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, it is an STD! There are currently six more common sexually transmitted diseases in my country: genital warts, genital herpes, AIDS, gonorrhea, non-gonorrhea, and syphilis. Restricted by the development trend of the disease itself or the actual situation in a certain region or country, some diseases are considered by the World Health Organization to be sexually transmitted diseases. However, in our country, sexual contact is not their main transmission route, so our country does not consider them to be sexually transmitted diseases.

　　The cancer-causing rate of genital warts is 7 times higher than that of ordinary people. If genital warts are not cured for a long time, they may become cancerous.

　　According to medical research, genital warts are benign skin proliferative diseases caused by the human papilloma virus. They are the most likely to relapse among all sexually transmitted diseases, and repeated recurrences may lead to canceration. In recent years, due to various reasons, the proportion of STD patients in the normal population has been increasing day by day. Many families have been broken up and couples have turned against each other. The most daunting thing is the latest medical statistics. The cancer-causing rate of genital warts is 7 times higher than that of ordinary people. Chen Jun and experts have strongly called for the virus to be killed before it becomes cancerous. On the other hand, there is a lack of truly effective treatments in China, which makes patients suffer.

　　Genital warts are the result of urban men and women being overly open to sexual life. Compared with other diseases, the incidence of genital warts is much higher. Although there is a significant trend in the prevention of genital warts, the disease still remains high. Chen Junhe, an expert from the Chenggang Dermatology Research Institute in Chengdu, said that genital warts are mainly spread through sexual contact and have a certain incubation period. Understanding the early symptoms of genital warts, early determining whether you are infected with genital warts, and timely and effective scientific treatment can effectively improve the cure rate of the disease.

　　Understand the early symptoms of genital warts and treat them promptly

　　Chen Junhe experts pointed out that the external reproductive organs are the parts of the human body that are susceptible to HPV infection. This part is also the place where the skin and mucous membranes are easily damaged during sexual intercourse. like female of the vaginal opening, posterior commissure, urethral opening and vaginal wall, male The inside of the foreskin, coronal sulcus, frenulum, etc. In addition, the anus is also a common site for HPV infection.

　　Humans are the only infected group of genital warts. HPV has the characteristics of strictly epithelial cell tropism. After HPV invades the body, the virus is mainly limited to skin and mucosal epithelial cells. HPV does not enter the blood and spread throughout the body, does not produce toxemia, etc., nor does it cause genital warts damage to the internal organs of the human body.

　　Therefore, as long as there is slight damage to the skin and mucous membrane of the external genital organs or anus during sexual intercourse, HPV has a chance to enter the body. After HPV enters the skin and mucosa of the body, it mainly lurks between the basal cells in the epidermis. There are also individual reports of a small number of viruses existing in the dermis. Once the time is right, HPV will enter human keratin cells and proliferate.

　　Genital warts can be completely cured

　　The treatment of genital warts has always been a big problem that troubles many patients! Many patients with genital warts have experienced repeated treatments and relapses. The painful suffering and torture have caused many patients to lose confidence in curing genital warts! Among the patients with genital warts currently visiting the hospital, many patients have a relatively long course of disease, and some patients have even had "warts" for more than two years. For such patients, on the one hand, a treatment plan must be formulated based on the individual's specific conditions to completely eliminate the lesions. ； On the other hand, and the most difficult point, is to restore the patient's lost confidence. Chen Junhe experts pointed out that full communication with patients during the treatment process can give them some confidence in treatment and eliminate their anxiety. Coupled with the curative effects that can be seen after one or two months of careful treatment, patients will also cooperate well.

　　When asked whether genital warts can be treated, Chen Junhe experts told reporters that genital warts can be cured! It mainly depends on personal resistance and treatment methods. Recurrence is common under normal circumstances. It is common to relapse two times, three times, seven times or eight times. However, as it recurs, it will gradually lessen and disappear until it is completely cured. First of all, patients must establish confidence in curing genital warts. Genital warts are by no means an incurable disease. For the vast majority of genital warts, complete cure is not only possible. And it's very easy. The current level of treatment for genital warts at home and abroad is similar. After removing the warts and anti-recurrence treatment, most people will recover, but 10-20% of patients may relapse. After the warts are removed again, the possibility of recurrence will be greatly reduced. After all, there are relatively few people who relapse without recovery.

　　The key to care for genital warts is to prevent recurrence

　　The care of genital warts should be personalized: in fact, the patient's condition is different, and the care methods used should also be different. For patients with mild illness and small skin lesions, the affected area can be smeared with medication and the skin lesions should be kept clean. For patients with larger wounds, red light irradiation can be given in addition to topical topical medications. It can improve local blood and oxygen supply, and at the same time has certain sterilization, anti-inflammatory and astringent effects, promotes local tissue regeneration, and can promote faster wound healing. If the wound is too large, under the above treatment, exudation must also be controlled to prevent infection.

　　Patients with genital warts should also pay attention to daily care: Patients should pay attention to daily care, especially in terms of hygiene. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, wear loose and fresh clothing, use special sanitary ware, and use topical medicines on time as directed by your doctor. Observe the changes in the wound every day to see if there are any signs of infection, and provide different local care according to the size of the wound. Pay attention to the changes in symptoms, determine whether there are signs of infection in the development of the disease, and whether there are new warts. Strictly follow the above instructions for medication, and take timely treatment measures if any abnormalities are found.
