The early symptoms of Genital wart are different and easy to be ignored. Therefore, people must always pay attention to their health and find Genital wart as soon as possible, which is more conducive to disease control and rehabilitation.
How long is the incubation period of Genital wart?
First of all, we should understand Genital wart and its development. Genital wart is more common in sexually active young men and women. The pathogen is the human papillomavirus (HpV). After being infected, patients, like other sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea, also have a certain incubation period. The length of the incubation period varies depending on the person and the degree of virus infection. After infection with human papillomavirus (HpV), HpV squamous epithelial cells propagate through the skin or mucosa in the nucleus of the glandular tissue, producing a large number of mature virus particles, leading to abnormal cell proliferation and manifested as genital warts. From infection with papillomavirus to visible genital warts, it usually takes 3-8 months, with an average of 3 months. When the resistance of the virus body decreases, the virus will multiply in large quantities when the local latent resistance decreases.
It is difficult to find the early symptoms of Genital wart
The early symptoms of Genital wart, such as small reddish papules, gradually increase, the number increases, the surface bulges, most of the texture is brittle and hard, and the wart hyperplasia is uneven. It is clinically divided into mushrooms, cockscomb, cauliflower, and nipples. The surface of genital warts is red or gray or normal skin color, with local moisture. Some patients with genital warts may feel itching, pain, or bleeding due to conscious or unconscious scratching, which can damage the warts, form erosion, and detect exudation and secondary infections
In addition, the following symptoms should also be understood
1. The injury of Genital wart occurs in the urethra, and patients may have urethral discomfort, urine overflow, gross hematuria, urethral discharge exclusion, urethral obstruction, poor urination or Dysuria. These symptoms are more pronounced in males than in females.
2. In the development process of Genital wart, the vast majority of patients do not have any discomfort, such as itching, pain and other conscious symptoms. Few patients have mild itching and tingling locally.
When the injury occurs in the anus and rectum, there may be swelling of the anus, bloody stools, poor bowel movements, or pain during defecation.
4. Generally, the location of Genital wart is more humid, local secretions increase, and bacteria and other infections increase. If bacterial infection occurs, local redness, swelling, pain, erosion, ulcers, necrosis, exudation, or obvious pus may occur.
