Patient's question:

They don't cause pain or itching, but there is indeed a continuous increase in their number. What disease is it when cauliflower-like small bumps appear on the foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus infection. The main mode of transmission is sexual contact. If you have a history of recent unsafe sexual contact, you should consider the possibility of genital warts. Generally, genital warts are typically seen as cauliflower-like fibromas. However, if there is no such contact, this disease can be largely ruled out. If you have unsafe sexual behavior and the symptoms reappear, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist for detailed pathogen testing. Additionally, treatment primarily involves physical methods, such as laser and cryotherapy. For those with more pronounced symptoms where physical treatment is not effective, interferon therapy or surgical treatment can be considered.
