Is it easy to treat genital warts in women?
My friend called me in tears yesterday and told me that she contracted genital warts from bathing in a public bath. I would like to learn more about this; are genital warts in women treatable?

The treatment of genital warts in women can be somewhat challenging, but it is possible to achieve a cure through standardized treatment protocols.
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, primarily occurring in the genital and anal areas. Due to the difficulty in completely eliminating HPV virus and the unique anatomical structure of the female genital tract, which can make treatment procedures more complex, treating genital warts in women presents certain challenges. However, many patients can achieve clinical remission through comprehensive treatment approaches, including removal of warts, immune enhancement, and antiviral therapy.
There are several treatment options available, including physical therapies such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, laser therapy, and electrocautery, as well as topical medications used according to medical advice, such as imiquimod cream, podophyllotoxin cream, and recombinant human interferon α2b injection. Women with genital warts are advised to seek timely medical attention and choose qualified healthcare institutions and experienced physicians for diagnosis and treatment. During the course of treatment, patients should follow medical recommendations for regular follow-up visits and maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep, to strengthen their immune system. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent transmission to others or recurrence of infection.
