In recent years, the incidence of pseudocondyloma has been increasing, especially among young women who are single or married. Pseudocondyloma is caused by genetic variation and is generally a benign nipple disease that is not infectious and will be cured on its own. The time it takes to treat pseudocondyloma depends on individual circumstances.
Clinical Symptoms of Pseudocondyloma
The clinical symptoms of pseudocondyloma are small papules about 1-2 mm in size, dark red in color, and clustered without restraint. They are mainly smooth, similar to fish eggs or woolen, giving a feeling of granules upon contact. They appear on the inner side of the labia or vestibule of the vagina, and generally do not cause any active disease or mild itching. It is easy for clinicians to mistake this disease for condyloma acuminatum.
Can Pseudocondyloma be Treated?
Although pseudocondyloma can be spontaneously resolved, it is recommended to actively treat it because it can affect the daily life and work of patients and also cause more serious diseases such as ulcers, bleeding, and even malignant tumors.
Treatment for Pseudocondyloma
Pseudocondyloma does not require treatment or cryotherapy, laser surgery, but can be treated with the following methods:
1. Clean the private parts with trichloroacetic acid. Soak a cotton ball in a small amount of trichloroacetic acid, gently wipe it on the affected area, wash it with salt water for 1-2 minutes, take medicine once a week, and apply the solution to 93.6% of the area.
2. Rub puncturevine extract on the pseudocondyloma every day with a curing rate of 69.23%.
Why Do Pseudocondyloma Appear?
1. Pseudocondyloma is more common on female labia, especially on the inner side of the labia and the vestibule of the vagina. The key is a cluster of milky white or reddish papules, with 1-2 mm straight channels and symmetrical accumulation. The cluster does not merge, the surface is smooth like fish eggs, and some of them are cysts.
2. Pseudocondyloma is not caused by disease transmission. Some patients have no history of sexually transmitted diseases, and some do not even have sexual history with their spouses. Married patients are less likely to infect their relatives.
3. Pseudocondyloma is a good proliferation of epidermal cells and is a genetic variation in the human system growth and development process. It has little effect on physical and mental health, and the development trend of skin rash is self-limiting. It does not require medication, and can be treated with laser treatment if necessary, with special attention to genital hygiene and irritation.
4. Pseudocondyloma is more common in young women, with an incidence age of 18≤40 years old, and the incidence rate is higher than that of condyloma acuminatum, ranging from 16% to 18%.
5. Pseudocondyloma generally does not show obvious active disease, occasionally itching, and the condition may be severely infected, with increased secretions. Most patients do not know when the rash appears.
