Whether genital warts will turn into genital cancer is a question that many patients with genital warts are very concerned about. Medical experts have confirmed this question. Studies have shown that there is a close relationship between genital warts and genital cancer. It has been reported that 5% to 10% of genital warts on the vulva, cervix and perianal area may change after a period of time and may develop into carcinoma in situ or invasive cancer.
The study also found that 15% of penile cancer and 5% of female vulvar cancer develop from genital warts. Long-term genital warts and giant genital warts have a higher probability of becoming cancerous.
More experimental studies have also shown that there is a causal relationship between human papillomavirus, genital warts and genital cancer.
In view of this, after getting genital warts, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment, find a specialist for diagnosis and treatment, early diagnosis and early treatment, sufficient course of treatment, and regular check-ups to prevent recurrence. After recurrence, follow the treatment principles for recurrent genital warts. Do not take medicine on your own or listen to the advice of quack doctors, so as not to delay the disease, delay treatment, and lead to malignant changes.
