How to treat genital warts

For genital warts, there is currently no "special" treatment method in the world, and the rhetoric of "guaranteing radical cure" in medical advertisements cannot be believed.

There are many different treatments for genital warts. Generally speaking, local treatment is enough. Commonly used local treatments include liquid nitrogen freezing, carbon dioxide laser, and microwave treatment. The former uses very low temperatures to "freeze" the new wart-like growths of genital warts to death and fall off. Carbon dioxide laser uses the high energy generated by the laser to concentrate on the warts to destroy them. It is a simple, effective and commonly used method. Microwave treatment uses the burning effect of electromagnetic waves to remove warts. It is a new method. Treatment methods

There are currently many external medicines used to treat genital warts. There are no more than two principles. One is a highly corrosive medicine that will cause tissue necrosis and fall off after being applied to the warts, such as Trichloroacetic acid solution. If this type of drug is applied to normal skin and mucous membranes, it can also cause chemical burns, which can sometimes be very serious. Therefore, it must be used under the control of medical staff and should not be used by patients themselves; one is that it has the ability to inhibit cell growth. The active drugs inhibit the proliferation of epithelium after being applied to the warts, and the warts gradually fall off and disappear. Commonly used drugs include podophyllotoxin, podophyllum ester, 5-fluorouracil, etc. Currently, there are some ointments or liquids on the market that are made from ingredients extracted from traditional Chinese medicine, and their modes of action are the two mentioned above. No matter what kind of medicine is used, it should be used under the guidance of medical personnel.
