Patient's question:
There's a small lump on the labia minora, and the external genital area is itchy. I previously went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I had degree 3 cleanliness and mild cervical erosion, but no yeast, bacteria, or trichomonas. They prescribed medication. This lump appeared about 10 days ago when I was taking the medication, and I stopped taking it after my period... Could it be genital warts?Doctor's answer:
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted through sexual contact. It is recommended that genital warts are cauliflower-shaped, papillary-shaped, or condyloma-like. It is suggested to perform the acetic acid test to check if it turns white, which may indicate genital warts. In addition to treating vulvar itching, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
