Which is the treatment for Genital was in pregnancy?
High-Yield Explanation
Condylomatous was may grow rapidly during pregnancy. Was at the vaginal introitus may bleed during delivery and predispose the newborn to genital was or recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). During pregnancy, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, or CO2 laser therapy should be administered at approximately 32 weeks to avoid, on one hand, post-treatment necrosis, which may last as long as 4-6 weeks, and to prevent, on the other hand, recurrence if treated too early. Podophyllin, podofilox, and imiquimod should not be used during pregnancy. Ref: Bornstein J. (2013). Chapter 39. Benign Disorders of the Vulva & Vagina. In A.H. DeCherney, L. Nathan, N. Laufer, A.S.
