Traditional Chinese Medicine for the radical treatment of genital warts

Genital warts cannot be cured through traditional Chinese medicine or any other means, but symptoms can be controlled and the probability of recurrence can be reduced through standardized treatment. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus infection, and treatment requires a combination of medical methods and lifestyle adjustments.

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly treats genital warts through a combination of external treatment methods and oral conditioning. External treatment commonly involves topical application of corrosive drugs such as Brucea Javanica Oil and Wumiao Narcissus Cream to eliminate warts through their ability to remove decay and promote muscle growth. Oral administration mainly focuses on clearing heat and dampness, detoxifying and dispersing nodules. Formulas such as Longdan Xiegan Tang and Huanglian Jiedu Tang can regulate immunity and inhibit virus replication. But traditional Chinese medicine treatment has a long cycle, requires continuous medication for several months, and has no clearing effect on latent viruses. Modern medicine uses a combination of physical therapy and medication for greater efficiency. Laser or freezing can quickly remove visible warts, and combined with topical medications such as imiquimod cream and podophyllotoxin tincture, can inhibit recurrence. Interferon injection can enhance local immunity. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can have a synergistic effect, but it should be noted that traditional Chinese medicine may aggravate skin irritation reactions and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

To prevent recurrence, it is necessary to strictly avoid unprotected behavior, keep the affected area dry and clean, and enhance physical exercise. Spouses should undergo simultaneous examination and treatment, and contact items should be disinfected at high temperatures. Follow up HPV testing every 3 months after treatment, and if there is no recurrence for 2 years, it is considered clinically cured. If new warts appear, seek medical attention immediately and do not self medicate.
