Though genital warts is a disease of high recurrence, with suppressive therapy, it’s still possible to decrease the recurrence rate to only 20% to 30% recurrence rate; many people even had no recurrence after such treatment.

We can always see couples walking down the street together which is always romantic but some diseases create distance between each couples and genital warts belong to such disease because genital warts are contagious and sexual transmitted disease, that’s why many people feared of it, one day I was asked by a girl:
Question: My boyfriend suffered from genital warts and if kissing him would make me infected with it?

I told her to firstly learn more about this disease. Genital wart occurs mainly to young friends; the high incidence of the disease is generally to people between 20 to 25 years old. During dating hugging and kissing are quite common, but it has proved that such warts spread through kissing is almost unlikely, unless one has broken spots at the mouth. Though a newspaper had published a story that a France girl was diagnosed as having such disease after kissed a man deeply French kiss, still such examples are rare. The most easily infected place genital area, although there are reports of oral infection, they are rarely. As long as the two partners do not have oral warts, genital warts infection through kissing would not likely to happen.

The clinical manifestations of oral condyloma: lesions mainly locate around the tongue tie, rash uplift which may appear as papillary, cauliflower, chicken coronavirus, or cobblestone-like warts, bean size, clear boundary with numbers ranging from 1 to 10 warts occurred at the same place. Multi-color light red rash or bright red, tend to bleed when touching. Under the microscope, it shows diffuse parakeratotic epidermis, and papilloma-like proliferation, marked hypertrophy of spinous cells, vacuolar cells can also be seen, and inflammatory cell infiltrated to superficial dermal.

20 May

What is the Giant condyloma Acuminatum(Buschke-loewenstein)? The first report of Giant condyloma acuminatum was in 1925, by Buschke and Loweus Fein and that’s the reason why Giant condyloma Acuminatum also called Buschke-loewenstein. Some scholars now believe that giant condyloma is a deformation of warts-like carcinoma. Although this type of condyloma acuminatum are rare in clinically, the number of cases reported these years has showed an increasing trend.

Symptops
Symptoms of this kind of warts begin as small pimples, but grow fast, and may eventually form into walnut to oval sized tumor, which was significantly higher than skin and mucous surfaces. A small number of huge damages are narrow genital warts at the base, most damages have wide base with mild infiltration. Only a few of damages at the surface are papilloma-like appearance, mostly showing cauliflower-like types. The common happened place of giant condyloma is female’s perineum, anus and the male glans, foreskin or Coronal; few occurred in the cervix, vaginal, scrotum and urethra. Giant warts occurred at bladder also reported. Giant condyloma warts rarely occur simultaneously with other types, mostly happen at single place.

Pathology
Pathological analysis of Giant condyloma acuminatum is between condyloma acuminatum and squamous cell carcinoma tumors, with giant size, easy to form ulcers, and easy to be immersed into deep tissues. Variety of carcinogens would facilitate the malignant transformation rate of such diseases. In fact it has been reported that Buschke-loewenstein has as high as 70 percent malignant transformation rate and up to 73% of the recurrence rate. High recurrence and malignant features make it a high progressive tumor, but no metastasis characteristics found. As one of most serious types of genital warts, if without timely and thorough treatment, it will endanger your lives.

20 May

During clinical diagnosis process, a part of the patients going to doctors to check genital warts would often suspicion that their warts are pseudocondyloma and don’t need to treat. In fact from the perspective of therapeutics, it’s very important to distinguish genital warts with pseudocondyloma.

Pseudocondyloma is a benign disease, not sexually transmitted and free of infectious, in the twenty-thirty years women you will see the inside of the labia minora mostly small smooth papules or clusters, but not convergence, like roe polypoid, sometimes itchy, may be due to physiological variation or increase in vaginal discharge caused by vaginal Candida albicans stimulation. If the disease not very serious, they are not generally required treatment.

(1) From the color: appearance of pseudocondyloma is light red (mucous membrane color or light brown).
(2) Size: pseudocondyloma one to two millimeters in diameter.
(3) Shape: pseudo-condyloma  roe shaped, villous or polypoid, some rash-like or moss-like but quite rare to see.
How the treat Pseudocondyloma? Pseudocondyloma is a benign lesion, usually without special treatment, it’s necessary to treat it only when associated with candidiasis, or trichomoniasis infection. Therefore, genital warts and Pseudocondyloma should be distinguished to treat accordingly.

Pseudocondyloma cause is not very clear, but according to a survey the cause of pseudo-condyloma related to the following factors: sex life may be too often, mechanical stimulation too much, the other factor such as, when in the bath in pursuit of “clean” vagina washed with water which impacted a little hard on vagina.
