Can I use medication to treat condyloma acuminatum after laser treatment?

Genital warts can be treated with laser. This type of treatment is suitable for patients with severe genital warts. Patients can develop a treatment plan after examination in the hospital. Attention should be paid to care after laser treatment of condyloma acuminatum. Care includes hygiene, diet and other aspects. At the same time, medical conditioning should be strengthened. So can medication be used after recovering from laser treatment of warts? Patients can also use medication. Combining these two methods will speed up the recovery process.

Can

(1) Antiviral drugs: 5% phthalamide cream or 0.25% herpes ointment can be applied externally twice a day. Acyclovir is taken orally, 5 times a day, 200 mg each time, or its ointment is used externally. 3 million units of α-interferon are injected daily, five days a week. Or inject 3 million units of interferon into the base of the wart twice a week. The main side effect of continuous use for 2-3 weeks is flu-like syndrome, and the recurrence rate of this method is very high.

(2) Corrosive agents or disinfectants: Commonly used are 30%-50% trichloroacetic acid or saturated dichloroacetic acid, or 18% peracetic acid. Use a 100ml mixed solution of 10% salicylic acid and glacial acetic acid or 40% formaldehyde, 2% liquefied phenol, and 75% ethanol and distilled water, and apply it topically for the glans penis and perianal warts, once a day or every other day, the effect is very good. The disinfectant can be applied externally with 20% iodine tincture, or 2.5-5% iodine tincture can be injected into the base of the wart, 0.1-1.5 ml each time, or chlorhexidine can be applied externally or 0.1-0.2% can be applied externally. The latter needs to be combined with systemic therapy, which is still good for removing warts.

(3) Anticancer drugs

① 5-Fluorouracil (5-F u): generally used as 5% ointment or cream, twice a day, for a course of 3 weeks. 2.5%~5% fluorouracil wet compress can be used to treat penile and perianal condyloma acuminatum. Apply for 20 minutes each time, once a day, and 6 times as a course of treatment. Polyethylene glycol can also be used as a matrix, and 5-Fu powder accounting for 5% of its dry matter can be added to make suppositories for the treatment of urethral condyloma acuminatum in men and women. 5-Fu base injection can also be used, and more can be injected in batches.

② Thiotepa: Mainly used for intraurethral condyloma acuminatum that has failed to be treated with 5-Fu. Use suppositories (each containing 15 mg) daily for 8 consecutive days. You can also add 60 mg of this product to 10-15 ml of disinfected water and drip it into the urethra once a week for half an hour. Side effects include urethritis. You can also use 10mg of this product added to 10ml to soak the affected area, 3 times a day, each time for half an hour, to treat penile and glans coronal sulcus warts. It is mainly used for those who still have residual warts or relapses after treatment with other methods. You can also dilute this solution twice and soak the local area to prevent recurrence.

③ Colchicine: 2-8% saline solution can be applied externally, twice, with an interval of 72 hours, to treat penile warts. Superficial erosion may occur after application.

There are many types of drugs for genital warts, and their treatment mechanisms are different. Improper use will increase the burden on the liver, so they should be used selectively. While using antiviral drugs, we should also pay attention to identifying the side effects that lead to poor liver and kidney function, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes, in order to achieve the goal of protecting physical health and eliminating viruses in the body.

Can medication be used after laser treatment of condyloma acuminatum? The answer to this question is yes. Patients also need to use medication for controlled treatment after laser treatment, because medication will affect recovery after treatment. If medication is not used in time, the effect of laser treatment will be reduced. During treatment, we should also pay attention to dietary adjustment and hygiene control. Patients should disinfect the items they use, especially underwear and public washing machines at home.
