Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have recently noticed a small, white, sesame-sized lump at the urethral opening of my reproductive organs. What could be the problem? 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 detached by hand, making them prone to bleeding and infection. When genital warts are more pronounced, they may appear as rice-sized growths on the skin surface. Over time, they can grow to a diameter of over 10 centimeters and spread rapidly, sometimes resembling cauliflower in size. Patients should avoid promiscuity and maintain a clean lifestyle to reduce the majority of infection risks. It is recommended to shower instead of using communal baths, avoid sitting on public bath chairs after bathing, and use squat toilets whenever possible in public restrooms. Good hygiene practices include washing the external genitalia daily, changing underwear frequently, not sharing personal utensils or swimsuits, and washing hands before using the restroom.
