Perianal condyloma acuminatum

Do you know what perianal condyloma acuminatum is? Have you ever seen this phenomenon in daily life? It is a disease caused by our papillomavirus, some diseases appear in the anus or around it, and it is a sexually transmitted disease, which can be transmitted to the other party through sexual intercourse. Moreover, it grows very fast and is particularly prone to recurring. Suffering from this disease has a particularly great impact on us.

Perianal condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted disease. This disease is now very common. It has many causes, including transmission caused by direct sexual contact and indirect transmission, which may be caused in public baths. Such diseases must be treated as soon as possible.

Overview

Anal warts grow quickly and are prone to recurrence. The internal cause of recurrence is the reduced cellular immune function of the patient's body, and the external cause may be related to the wound being airtight, moist, and susceptible to infection, as well as being easily damaged by friction during walking and activities. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "anal warts", which are mostly caused by damp heat evil toxins that invade the skin and mucous membranes of the anus and become toxic over time. Western medicine believes that it is caused by infection with a nucleic acid virus - human papillomavirus (HPV), which is related to the body's immune deficiency. Studies have also shown that HPV infection is closely related to the occurrence and development of anorectal tumors.

Causes

Regarding the causes of anal condyloma acuminatum, it is generally believed that the internal cause is the reduced cellular immune function of the patient's body, and the external cause may be related to the wound being airtight, moist, and susceptible to infection, as well as being easily damaged by friction during walking and activities. Specifically, the main causes of anal condyloma acuminatum are:

1. Direct sexual contact, including anal or non-anal sex, accounts for one-third of patients.

Second, indirect transmission: they may be related to the use of some hygiene products or infection in saunas, bathhouses, etc. This type of patients accounts for one-third.

3. Self-infection. Laser treatment may lead to self-infection. For genital warts such as vulva and perineum, some people will have recurrences in the perianal area after laser treatment. This type of patients accounts for one-third of all perianal patients.

Main causes

The main causes of anal warts are frequent hemorrhoid attacks, dry stools, and especially anal intercourse. The chance of developing anal warts is higher than that of ordinary patients. The onset of hemorrhoids will reduce the local skin's antibacterial ability and increase the chance of infection with genital warts. Anal sex can easily abrade the skin and mucous membranes of the rectum. Sometimes, these abrasions are not bleeding as we understand it. You should know that even some very small skin cracks can give viruses an opportunity to take advantage.

Diagnosis

Self-Test

1. Typical skin lesions are papules in moist areas such as the perianal area, papillary, cauliflower-shaped or cockscomb-shaped fleshy growths with a rough and keratinized surface.

2. The acetic acid white test is positive, and in vivo examination shows a similar erosion pattern, which is bright red to brown in the middle and gradually fades in color around it.

3. Nucleic acid hybridization can detect HPV-DNA related sequences, and PCR detection can reveal specific HPV-DNA amplification bands.

4. Most patients have a history of unclean sexual life or a history of infection in their spouse. A few cases of genital warts are infected through contact with contaminated utensils, and newborns can also be infected through the birth canal. The incubation period ranges from 1 to 8 months, with an average of 3 months.

5. Genital warts HPV virus is insoluble in blood, but information about virus infection can be obtained by testing serum antibodies in the blood. Through the advanced virus detection system, serum can be quickly tested to detect three items, namely "virus antibodies, virus type, and virus quantity."

The diagnosis is made based on medical history, clinical manifestations, physical signs and acetowhite test. All cases were confirmed by pathological examination.

The diagnosis of warts needs to be based on the patient's symptoms and specific examinations. Common diagnostic bases include:

1. Have had unclean sexual behavior within six months;

2. There are large tumor-like growths in the anus and genitals;

3. The growths at the site of disease are cauliflower-shaped, cockscomb-shaped, thorn-shaped, or nipple-shaped, with an uneven surface, a sense of oppression, or a foul odor.

4. There will be pain, itching and discomfort in the genitals, and the patient may experience hematuria and difficulty urinating.

5. There will be symptoms such as pain in the rectum, blood in the stool, and urgency in the stool.

When perianal condyloma acuminatum appears, some symptoms will appear. Some people's symptoms are not very obvious. Sometimes there will be some itching or burning sensation around the anus, and some red papules will appear. These are the initial manifestations. If not treated in time, it will also cause symptoms of bloody stools.
