Let’s talk in detail about genital warts and genital herpes!

Genital warts are a highly prevalent sexually transmitted disease that can cause harm to both oneself and the other party. However, there are many causes of genital herpes. So what are the causes of herpes condyloma?

What are the causes of genital warts?

1. Smoking and drinking. Because smoking and drinking can reduce the body's immune function. Some investigations have found that people who have smoked for more than ten years have a significantly increased chance of recurrence of genital warts. Moreover, alcohol can inhibit the central nervous system, reduce anxiety, increase sexual desire and prostitution, and increase the number of sexual partners. At the same time, the use of condoms decreases after drinking, violent sexual behavior increases, and the chance and degree of genital injury increase, which also increases the incidence and recurrence rate of the disease.

2. Impaired immune function. For patients with malignant tumors, lupus erythematosus, kidney transplantation, chemotherapy, or the use of glucocorticoids, the risk of developing and recurring genital warts increases exponentially, and the warts also become larger.

3. Marital status. The chance of recurrence increases for men who are divorced, separated, widowed, unmarried, or have an unhappy marital life due to increased high-risk sexual behavior. Improper use of condoms during sexual intercourse may also increase the incidence and recurrence of this disease. If men do not wear condoms during sexual intercourse, or if women only use barrier contraceptive methods (such as female condoms, contraceptive diaphragms, cervical caps) and oral contraceptives, the chances of developing and recurring genital warts will increase.

4. Unclean sexual behavior. Experts point out that the more sexual partners a person has, the higher the chance of contracting the disease. The incidence and recurrence rates of genital warts among male sex workers are higher than those among prostitutes and homosexuals. The incidence and recurrence rates of those who first had sexual intercourse before the age of 19 were higher than those of others. Women younger than 25 years of age have an increased risk of developing anogenital warts.

5. Other sexually transmitted diseases. Such as genital herpes, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, herpes simplex, HIV, fungal infections, etc., by destroying the mucosal barrier, the ability to resist infection is reduced, and the local environment of the genitals becomes moist, which is conducive to the reproduction and growth of the virus. The coexistence of multiple sexually transmitted diseases or other viral and fungal infections greatly reduces the body's disease resistance, and the chances of developing and recurring genital warts increase exponentially.
