Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have recently noticed a small, white lump the size of a sesame seed growing at the urethral opening of my reproductive organs. What is this condition? I have no bad habits.Doctor's answer:
Genital warts initially appear as small, cone-shaped papules or nodules. They typically occur on the external genitalia or around the anus, and are most often pink or cauliflower-like in appearance. The surface is fragile and can be easily removed by hand, making them prone to bleeding and infection.When genital warts become more pronounced, they appear as rice-sized growths on the skin. Over time, they can grow larger, reaching diameters of over 10 centimeters, and they often grow rapidly, sometimes resembling cauliflower in size. Patients should avoid promiscuity and maintain a clean lifestyle to reduce the vast majority of infection risks.
It is recommended to shower instead of using communal bathtubs, and to avoid sitting directly on public bath chairs after bathing. In public restrooms, it is advisable to use squat toilets whenever possible. Hygiene should be practiced daily, including washing the external genitalia and changing underwear. Avoid using others' basins or swimsuits, and always wash hands before using the restroom.
