Does laser treatment of condyloma acuminatum hurt?

Genital warts are a relatively common private disease and are also a potentially contagious disease, so they need to be treated promptly when the disease is discovered. Genital warts can be effectively treated in many ways, laser treatment is one of them. Many people are afraid of the pain caused by laser treatment of genital warts. In fact, anesthesia will be given before laser treatment of genital warts, so there will be no pain.

1. Methods of examination for condyloma acuminatum

1. Histochemical examination: Take a small amount of lesion tissue to make a smear and stain it with specific anti-human papillomavirus antibodies. If there are viral antigens in the lesions, the antigens and antibodies will combine. In the peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) method, nuclei can be stained red. This method is highly specific and rapid, and is helpful for diagnosis.

2. Viral wart antibody test: To date, HPV is difficult to detect using traditional virus culture and serological techniques, and the main experimental diagnostic technology is nucleic acid hybridization. The PCR method developed in recent years has the advantages of specificity, sensitivity, simplicity and rapidity, opening up a new way for HPV detection.

3. Pathological examination: It starts from the symptoms of genital warts and determines whether it is genital warts through examination. Pathological examination mainly shows parakeratosis, hypertrophy of the stratum spinosum, papilloma-like hyperplasia, thickening and elongation of the epidermal processes, and the degree of hyperplasia may be similar to pseudoepitheliomas.

2. Will laser treatment of genital warts be painful?

During the laser treatment, anesthesia will be administered and the patient will not feel obvious pain. However, the 7-15 days after the laser treatment is a recovery period. During this period, the patient's local area must be kept dry, and there will be pain and scars. In addition, laser is a physical therapy, and the laser beam is relatively concentrated, which is suitable for a single wart, not for all conditions, and the cure rate is only 70%.

3. Nursing work for condyloma acuminatum

1. You need to rest in bed for 3 to 4 days and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some patients are too embarrassed to take leave after surgery and insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, this directly leads to severe tissue edema, which affects wound drying, scab formation and epithelial tissue repair.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, especially before the wound is completely healed. Sexual intercourse is allowed during the observation period, but measures must be taken.

3. Avoid unclean sexual behavior after treatment. Since the incubation period of genital warts virus is long and the healing recurrence rate is high, you must follow the doctor's orders to take medicine on time after treatment and have regular check-ups to prevent reinfection and recurrence.
