Cryotherapy compared with trichloroacetic acid in treating genital warts

Abstract

Letters should not exceed 400 words and should be typed double spaced (including the references) and be signed by all authors TO THE EDITOR, Genitourinary Medicine Fewer Trichomonas vaginalis organisms in vaginas of infected women during menstruation Sir, A recent paper by Demes et al reports lower counts of Trichomonas vaginalis organisms in the vagina during menstruation.' The authors considered that this was caused by immunological factors within menstrual blood. Other explanations for this result could also be given. The menstrual flow may "flush out" the vagina and thus decrease the number of organisms present. No mention was made of the use of tampons, which absorb vaginal secretions and organisms. Constituents of tampons may alter vaginal microbiology. Finally, the raised vaginal pH during menstruation may also be a factor. Yours faithfully,

A Comparison of Two Treatment Methods, Trichloroacetic Acid, and Laser Therapy, in the Wart Treatment: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial in a University Hospital in Tehran, Iran

“…In a study by Taner et al in Turkey, 51 patients with genital warts were treated with 85% TCA, and all patients had good treatment responses to TCA (14). Godley et al treated patients with warts with TCA in England in 1988 and reported good treatment efficacy and few complications (15). The present study compared the effects of CO 2 laser and trichloroacetic acid in the treatment of warts in patients who visited Khanevadeh Hospital from October 2013 to October 2014.…”
