Patient's question:
On the 10th, I impulsively went to a sauna and had a salt bath. During the process, the female staff first washed my entire body with her hands. Then, another female staff member gave me a full-body massage. She also massaged my private parts and groin with her hands. The female staff member was wearing underwear the entire time, and I touched her vagina through my underwear a few times, but it felt dry. After the massage, the staff member washed my entire body again, and I followed up by washing myself. I'm wondering if there's a high risk of contracting genital warts from this. So far, I haven't experienced any symptoms. Thank you... Please help answer this from the perspective of a professional dermatologist. Is there still a possibility of contracting any sexually transmitted diseases now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, genital warts are a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease that is contagious. They are mostly transmitted through direct contact during unclean sexual activity, or they can be indirectly transmitted by touching items infected with the virus. Currently, there are numerous methods for treating genital warts, but many of them only address symptoms without treating the root cause, making recurrence common. For example, treatments like laser and surgery can only alleviate symptoms on the surface and cannot eliminate toxins from the body, leading to frequent relapses. Therefore, patients need to seek treatment at specialized hospitals. Wishing you good health!
