Causes of condyloma acuminatum

The most important transmission method of genital warts is sexual behavior. For women, it is also transmitted from mother to child. The appearance of genital warts has many effects on the patient's mind and body. Because the diseased site is the sexual organ, it is also embarrassing to talk about it during treatment. Because genital warts are difficult to treat, early detection is the key to recovery.

Causes of condyloma acuminatum:

1. Sexual contact transmission

It is the key transmission route. HPV is transmitted through damaged skin and mucous membranes through sexual behavior. Research data show that condyloma acuminatum mostly occurs in sexually active people aged 20-40, most of whom have a history of multiple extramarital affairs or promiscuous sexual intercourse. According to scientific research, the infection is strongest about 3 and a half months after infection. In addition to direct vaginal and anal intercourse, oral sex and other methods can also cause infection.

2. Indirect contact transmission

It can be infected through daily necessities such as underwear, bathtubs, towels, etc. When men suffer from balanoposthitis or women suffer from candidal vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, local pre-soaked, wet stool provides favorable factors for the vaccination and reproduction of papillomavirus infection. Scratching the private parts with polluted hands or using polluted cotton towels can also cause the infection of genital warts. There are cases of this disease occurring in parts of the body other than the genitals, such as around the anus, mouth, under the armpits, hair, ear canal, etc., especially when there are small wounds on the skin and mucous membranes at the contact site, it is more susceptible to infection. In clinical medicine, although there are indeed cases of infection through scratching or even through toilet seats, including cases in children, these cases are extremely rare after all, and daily contact does not pose such a terrible risk.

3. Mother-to-child transmission

During pregnancy, due to changes in female hormones, the blood supply to the sexual organs is rich and colorful, and the body's immune function is also reduced to a certain extent, so condyloma acuminatum can expand rapidly, even to the extent of blocking the birth canal. The warts are very easy to tear and bleed during childbirth, and because their tissues are sensitive, it will be difficult to sew and activate blood circulation. Condyloma acuminatum or laryngeal papillomatosis in infants and condyloma acuminatum in some children may be infected when the baby passes through the birth canal during the entire delivery process or has deep contact with the mother after birth. Because condyloma acuminatum grows and develops rapidly during pregnancy, it is inconvenient for treatment in the middle and late stages, so it is recommended to check for condyloma acuminatum before pregnancy.

Clinical symptoms of condyloma acuminatum:

The most common locations are around the sex organs and anus. For men, it is common to see long foreskin, frenulum, coronal sulcus, glans penis, urethral opening, male genital body, around the anus, inside the duodenum and scrotum. For women, it is common to see labia majora and minora, posterior symphysis, vestibule, clitoris, cervix and around the anus. Occasionally, it can be seen in locations other than the private parts and around the anus, such as the armpits, umbilical fossa, oral cavity, breasts and between toes. Gynecological inflammation in women and long foreskin in men are the driving factors for the occurrence of condyloma acuminatum.

The lesions initially appear as tiny red papules, which then gradually expand and increase, appearing singly or in clusters, moist and soft, with an uneven surface, and appearing as nipple-like, cockscomb-shaped, or cauliflower-like protrusions. Bright red or dark gray. There is often a pedicle at the root, and it is easy to produce erosive exudate, which is easy to bleed when touched. There is often purulent secretion and gas accumulation between the lesions, causing a foul odor, and secondary infection may occur due to scratching. The disease often has no active symptoms, but some patients may experience discomfort, pain, itching, or pain during sexual intercourse. Condyloma acuminatum in the duodenum can cause pain, blood in the stool, and a feeling of anal prolapse.
