What are the complications of genital warts?

1. Ulcers and bleeding: As the lesions grow larger and more numerous, they may cause local foreign body sensations and discomfort. Since the disease occurs mostly in the foreskin, urethra, and perianal area, these areas are easily infected by microorganisms, leading to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain, and swelling in the affected areas.

2. Infect the baby and affect the quality of fertility: Pregnant women with genital warts may infect the baby through the birth canal during delivery, causing biting and respiratory warts in infants and young children.

3. Papilloma in non-genital areas: Papilloma of the conjunctiva and oral mucosa can occur through direct contact or indirect contact through contaminated objects.

4. Canceration: Malignant tumors are serious complications of genital warts. If HPV16 or 18 infection is not treated in time, it is likely to cause malignant tumors such as penile cancer in the future, posing a serious threat to men's health.
