Does condyloma acuminatum have to check hpv?

Condyloma acuminatum is a skin venereal disease caused by human papillomavirus. The incubation period is 3 weeks to 8 months, with an average of 3 months. More common in sexually active young men and women. The peak age of onset is 20-25 years old, and the average course of disease is 3-5 months. It occurs shortly after sexual contact, and the average course of disease of male patients is 12 months, so sexual contact may not occur. Most patients are generally asymptomatic. The damage varies in size and shape. Genital organs and perianal region are the most common parts, and males are more common in foreskin, frenulum, coronal groove, glans penis, urethral orifice, penis, perianal region, rectum and scrotum, while females are more common in labia majora, posterior commissure, vestibule, clitoris, cervix and perianal region. Condyloma acuminatum has the characteristics of strong infectivity, rapid proliferation and easy recurrence. This disease is prevalent all over the world and is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in Europe, America and Africa.

Condyloma acuminatum should not be underestimated

The incidence of condyloma acuminatum is high in China, which has grown rapidly in recent years and caused serious social harm. It has become the second largest sexually transmitted disease after gonorrhea. Although condyloma acuminatum is a transient infection, some cases still have the possibility of malignant transformation. It is reported that vulvar condyloma acuminatum may turn into squamous cell carcinoma after one year, and some penile carcinoma, vulvar carcinoma and some anal cancer will occur on the basis of the original condyloma acuminatum. In addition, the occurrence of cervical cancer is also related to the incidence of condyloma acuminatum. Condyloma acuminatum grows rapidly, is easy to relapse, and is in a subclinical infection state that is not easy to detect, which is difficult to cure and seriously affects the health of patients.

Relationship between condyloma acuminatum and human papillomavirus

Condyloma acuminatum is related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Human papillomavirus can be divided into low-risk type and high-risk type. The low-risk types include human papillomavirus -6, 1 1, 40, 42, 43, 44, 49, 54, 6 1, 70, 72 and 865438. Among them, type 6, 1 1 have low carcinogenicity, while type 16 and 18 have high carcinogenicity, which are closely related to the occurrence of reproductive cancers such as cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and penile cancer in anal cancer. Condyloma acuminatum is mainly related to the low-risk type of human papillomavirus, but some patients with condyloma acuminatum still have the high-risk type of human papillomavirus.

Why does condyloma acuminatum have to be tested for human papillomavirus?

Genital tract human papillomavirus infection is a long-term process. After the treatment of condyloma acuminatum, if the immune ability is strong enough, the virus will disappear naturally after 1 -2 years. If the immune function is weak, the virus can lurk in the cell for several years, and once the body's immunity is reduced, the latent virus can resume its activities. The continuous propagation of human papillomavirus in condyloma acuminatum will not only cause skin damage, but also affect the gene expression changes in local tissues, promote cell proliferation and increase the risk of cancer. Therefore, regular detection of HPV typing in patients with condyloma acuminatum can clearly understand the HPV typing of such patients, so that doctors and patients with condyloma acuminatum can grasp the real-time dynamics of the disease and possible potential dangers, which plays an important role in disease control and prevention.

Detection method of human papillomavirus

Take samples from diseased tissues or suspicious parts, extract DNA, and amplify the target DNA with specific primers. Epithelial cells on the surface of patients' warts can also be used as samples to be detected, which reduces the pain of patients when sampling, and the sampling method is simple and easy.

In a word, condyloma acuminatum infected by human papillomavirus is a common sexually transmitted disease. Sexually active women may be infected with at least one human papillomavirus. Because human papillomavirus infection is the cause of cervical cancer, we must pay attention to this infection, strengthen our knowledge of sexual health care, and make the virus die in the bud!
