What are the dangers of female vaginal warts

When sexually transmitted diseases occur in women, symptoms often appear in the female vagina. Genital warts are a typical sexually transmitted disease and are also very harmful. When female vaginal warts are discovered, it is important to pay attention to them, understand the harm of female vaginal warts, and actively seek treatment. So, what are the dangers of vaginal warts in women? Let’s take a closer look below.

If genital warts are not treated in time, they will continue to grow and increase in number. They may also merge with each other to take on a nipple-like, cockscomb-like, cobblestone-like, cauliflower-like appearance, and may vary in size and grow into huge genital warts. There is often itching and a feeling of pressure, and if there is a bacterial infection, there may be a foul odor. Compression of adjacent tissues and organs causes corresponding compression symptoms. Among the common sexually transmitted diseases, genital warts are the most difficult to treat, and the incidence of genital warts has increased rapidly in recent years.

Genital warts are caused by papillomavirus and easily grow and reproduce in a warm and humid environment, so the external genitalia is the most suitable site. A small number of people may be infected through contact with daily necessities contaminated with virus particles, such as underwear, bathtubs, and bath towels. It reduces the body's immune function and antiviral ability, so antiviral treatment is needed to improve the body's immune ability. If patients with genital warts are not treated actively and thoroughly, especially those carrying high-risk viruses, they are highly contagious and can be transmitted to family members or other people, causing infection. The more contagious the disease is, the more the body's immune system is suppressed, the more difficult it is to cure the disease, and it may recur repeatedly for a long time, and finally, it may lead to cancer.

About 15% of cervical warts and 10% of vulvar and perianal warts can develop into malignant tumors; 18% of penile cancer and 9% of vulvar cancer are induced by genital warts. Of course, the probability is very small, and the time may vary from 5 to 40 years. But not all HPV infections will turn into cancer; it also depends on the type of HPV virus. So patients don't need to panic, the chance is very low. If the treatment is active and thorough, the above-mentioned lesions may not occur at all. Moreover, some viruses may disappear after a certain period of time.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of vaginal warts in women. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. If women suffer from genital warts, the harm caused is quite serious, especially for unmarried women. Not only will it be transmitted to their lovers, but it may also be transmitted to their children through the placenta. It is necessary to seek timely treatment to prevent the damage from being maximized.
