The average incubation period of condyloma acuminatum is 2-3 months. The early symptoms are mainly light red papules, which gradually expand and increase, and combine into papillary, cauliflower-like growths or chicken crown-like growths of varying sizes. Symptoms may include itching, bleeding after trauma and friction, abnormal secretions in the vagina, and secondary infection may have a foul odor. Women are more likely to have condyloma acuminatum, hymen rupture remnants, etc.; men are more likely to have condyloma acuminatum, glans penis, and prepuce pruritus. Condyloma acuminatum in the urethra can cause hematuria, urinary tract obstruction, etc. Some patients do not have typical condyloma acuminatum symptoms, but mainly manifest as subclinical infection or latent (latent) infection. The so-called subclinical infection of condyloma acuminatum means that although there is infection, the clinical manifestations are not very obvious and need to be diagnosed by other methods.

How condyloma acuminatum is spread:

1. Immediate sexual transmission is the key route of transmission. According to scientific research, 2/3 of people who have sexual intercourse with patients with condyloma acuminatum may develop the disease. The disease is most contagious when the average duration is about 3.5 months, so it is easy to be infected by the disease among those who have sexual promiscuity.

2. Condyloma acuminatum or laryngeal papillomatosis in infants and juveniles infected with HPV through maternal and infant supplies may be caused by the baby passing through the birth canal infected with HPV during the delivery process or by close contact with the mother after birth.

3. Indirect object infection can rarely be transmitted through daily necessities such as underwear, bathtubs, and towels. This route of transmission is extremely rare and can only occur when living with patients with condyloma acuminatum and using the same sanitary utensils.

Condyloma acuminatum is commonly found in the genitals and anus. For men, it is common to find it in the prepuce, frenulum, coronal sulcus, glans penis, urethral opening, male genital body, around the anus and in the anal canal. For women, it is common to find it in the labia majora and minora, posterior symphysis, vestibule, clitoris, cervix and around the anus. Gynecological inflammation in women and long prepuce in men are auxiliary factors for the occurrence and growth of condyloma acuminatum.

Clinical symptoms of condyloma acuminatum

The lesions of condyloma acuminatum are small and light red papules at first, and then gradually expand and increase, with an uneven surface and papillary shape. Generally, there are no active symptoms. Then they further proliferate and become wart-like protrusions, and spread to the periphery. According to the appearance of the warts, they can be vividly divided into papular type, papillary type, cauliflower type, and cockscomb type. The surface of the warts is often moist and cold, milky white or bright red, or dirty dark gray. There is often a thick fluid between the papillary warts, which releases a strange smell. The patient actively feels discomfort, itching or pain during sexual intercourse, and may rupture, exude, bleed or become infected.
