Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have recently noticed a small, white, sesame-sized growth 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 dislodged 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 grow rapidly, sometimes resembling cauliflower in size. Patients should avoid promiscuity and maintain personal hygiene, as this can significantly reduce the risk of infection. It is recommended to shower instead of using communal tubs, and not to sit directly on public bath chairs after bathing. In public restrooms, it is advisable to use squat toilets. Maintain good hygiene by cleaning the external genitalia daily, changing underwear, and not using others' basins or swimsuits. Always wash hands before using the toilet.
