What should couples with genital warts pay attention to?

　　Genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and indirect contact. Therefore, when one spouse suffers from genital warts, they should "sexually isolate" from their spouse. In addition, they should also pay attention to the following points.

　　1. Avoid close contact

　　Genital warts can not only be transmitted to a spouse through direct sexual intercourse, but also the patient’s tears, sweat, semen, saliva, blood and other body fluids may be used as transmission routes, so in disease Before being cured, there is absolutely no sexual contact, and no intimate actions such as kissing or caressing. After genital warts disappear, the human papilloma virus may still lie dormant in the patient's body for a period of time. Therefore, the absence of warts cannot simply be used as a criterion for cure. When you can resume normal sexual life, you must obtain guidance from a doctor.

　　2. Avoid indirect contact transmission

　　When one spouse is sick, his or her spouse should live in separate beds. The patient's bedding, towels, washbasin, and clothing should be washed separately from the family members. Contaminated daily necessities can be disinfected and sterilized by washing with soapy water, boiling water, exposing to sunlight, and spraying disinfectant.

　　3. Treat husband and wife together

　　If one spouse suffers from genital warts, both spouses should be examined or treated at the same time. Treatment of one spouse alone is not effective. Even if the spouse is not infected or does not show corresponding symptoms, active preventive treatment should be carried out to prevent cross-infection between the couple.
