matters needing attention

Modern medicine has the ability to cure condyloma acuminatum, but to admit that HPV is stubborn. Once infected with HPV, the incubation period was 1-8 months, with an average of 3 months. In the incubation period, most of the patients have no conscious symptoms. At this stage, the virus has spread in large numbers in the basal layer of the skin. If the wart body is only removed, there are still a large number of potential (subclinical infection) viruses in the basal layer of the skin, and the recurrence rate is more than 70%. Condyloma acuminatum is a common and frequently occurring disease. It is not a complicated disease, nor a terminal disease. As long as the patients can be treated in time, with confidence and patience, the cure rate is still very high.
