What are anal warts?

Patients suffering from anal warts are in great pain, as it may affect the skin and reproductive organs, but this disease does not cause pain to patients, so it is not easy to detect. There are many causes of anal warts, such as sexual life, eating habits, sleep problems, etc. Some are also caused by public towels and bathtubs, which are also the causes of molluscum contagiosum. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to personal hygiene.

Causes of anal warts

1. Causes of anal condyloma acuminatum: sexual behavior, immune function, age and gender, smoking, drinking, contraceptive measures, marital and pregnancy status, and other sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Causes of molluscum contagiosum: The disease is mostly not transmitted through sexual intercourse, but can be caused by sharing bath towels, bathtubs, self-scratching, and can even occur in groups. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to personal hygiene and public hygiene. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a DNA virus that infects only humans. The rash can occur anywhere on the body. The small papules gradually increase to the size of mung beans, are semicircular, plump in texture, painless or itchy, and are skin-colored, grayish white or pearly, like small water droplets, so they are also called water warts.

3. Causes of flat warts: Flat warts are benign epidermal growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is mainly transmitted by direct contact, and can also be transmitted indirectly through contaminated objects that infect and damage the skin. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by loose skin pores, wind-heat toxins invading the body, or liver deficiency and blood dryness, poor tendons and qi, and heat toxins accumulating in the skin. Flat warts are not only unsightly but also contagious. Once the body's resistance is reduced due to colds, fever, mental trauma, overwork, menstruation or endocrine disorders, the wart virus lurking in the body may suddenly break out and cause more warts and rashes.
