Patient's question:
I'm about to have a baby, but I have genital warts. Will it affect giving birth? Can I breastfeed? I was treated during the third month of pregnancy, but it didn't completely cure them. I want to know if it will affect the baby.Doctor's answer:
Genital warts are a viral infection. After conception, hormonal changes may soften their manifestation, and breastfeeding is possible. If the lesions are small, a vaginal delivery can be performed after local treatment. For widespread or large lesions, a cesarean section should be considered. Postpartum prognosis is generally good with high cure rates, and breastfeeding is possible. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for a thorough examination and active treatment. After delivery, be cautious to avoid industrial-polluted clothing from coming into contact with the baby.
