Condylomas (genital warts) are a type of viral wart, which is a papillary growth on the skin or mucous membrane. Genital warts in men are localized in the intimate area and often go unnoticed. The height above the skin is 0.2 cm, externally they have a flesh-colored or grayish color. Benign formations of small size, which are found on the penis, scrotum and around the anus.

Treatment of condylomas in men should begin immediately after detection. We invite you to make an appointment with urologists. We guarantee complete confidentiality. Doctors specialize in the treatment of viral infections of the intimate areas. KDS Clinic performs removal of condylomas in men using the Surgitron device.

Symptoms of condylomas

Single neoplasms are difficult to detect and there is no pain syndrome. Condylomas do not bother the patient and do not affect the quality of sexual life. Formations are detected by touch or upon examination.

Papillomas in the urethra in men, around the head of the penis, around the anus and on the scrotum are common places for growths to occur. HPV is found in warm, moist places, so the folds of the genitals and anus are likely places where growths are found.

If the disease is not treated, it will progress, eventually the papillomas will grow together, protrude more above the surface of the skin, and the appearance will resemble cauliflower.

Fused papillomas affect a large area on the genitals, and then the symptoms of the disease become obvious:

1. Pain during sexual intercourse. Growths on the head of the penis interfere with penetration and cause discomfort to partners.
2. Itching, redness of the affected area, irritation. During friction, the growths become injured, bleed and itch.
3. Difficulty urinating. Those papillomas that have grown in the urethra will interfere with normal urination.

If a man develops condylomas on the head of the penis, this is the first sign that the human papillomavirus (HPV) has entered the body.

You can get infected in several ways:

• sexual intercourse – this includes vaginal, oral or anal intercourse. When healthy mucous membranes come into contact with infected genitals, infection occurs;
• at home, 20% of those infected caught the virus due to insufficient hand hygiene, sharing personal hygiene items (washcloth, toilet rim, underwear, towels);

The absence of tumors on a man’s genitals does not mean that the person has not become a carrier of the HPV virus. If a person has a strong immune system and leads a healthy lifestyle, the body resists the virus, stopping the progression of the disease.

Decreased immunity often causes growths to appear. There are factors that negatively affect the body's immune system:

• recurrent colds;
• hypothermia;
• unbalanced, meager, monotonous nutrition;
• regular neuroses, stress, overwork, lack of sleep;
• smoking and alcohol abuse;

Doctors recommend regular examinations to ensure the absence of the virus, and that the man’s sexual partner also be examined.

Medicines are not prescribed for individual sensitivity or allergic reactions. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childhood, the use of medications requires consultation with a doctor.

Preparing for treatment

Before starting treatment for papilloma, the doctor conducts a thorough examination of the man’s groin under magnification, makes a diagnosis, and studies tests.

The effectiveness of treatment depends on the correct diagnosis:

1. Oral interview with a venereologist, taking an anamnesis.
2. If the head of the penis, urethra or urethra is affected, consultation with a urologist is indicated.
3. You need to be tested for HPV using the PCR method (scraping from the genitals), for AIDS, HIV and syphilis.
4. Examination of the anus by a proctologist.
5. Getting tested for STDs.

After all the tests are ready, the doctor will select the appropriate method for treating and removing papillomas for the man. Tumors can be removed only if the man does not have infectious or viral diseases in the acute stage.

What is the best way to remove warts in the groin?

Any warts should only be removed by a qualified professional. It is especially important to be careful when choosing skin removal techniques in areas with thin skin, including the genital and groin areas. The use of various chemicals with an uncontrolled depth of action leads to burns of healthy tissue, the formation of deep wounds and subsequent scar deformation.

To remove warts in the groin, it is better to use a laser. It allows you to eliminate growths on the skin through vaporization - evaporation of a skin formation or wart from exposure to light energy and high temperatures.

Laser removal of various warts is superior to other removal methods in terms of its effectiveness and does not carry the risk of relapse of the disease, cicatricial deformation of the affected area, or contamination of the surrounding skin. In addition, the procedure itself is one-time, i.e. it does not require repeated sessions. It is carried out without pain and blood.

Warts in the groin should be removed if:

• They are often injured and bleed.
• There is a risk of infection.
• Pain and burning occurs during sexual intercourse, urination or defecation.
• The warts are growing and they have an unpleasant odor.

The growths are removed in different ways. The appropriate option must be selected together with the doctor, depending on the type of formation, degree of damage, contraindications, duration of the procedure and recovery period.

Treatment of papilloma virus in men

If a man has condylomas on the head of the penis, treatment is carried out in two directions:

1. Remove growths.
2. Conduct shock antiviral therapy.

None of them have any advantages, since the doctor prescribes treatment based on their examination data and the tests obtained. Often these treatments are complementary to each other.

Drug therapy complements the process of removing papillomas in men. With its help, the immune system is strengthened to avoid relapse, since removal of papillomas again brings the patient to the doctor with the same symptoms of the disease in 30% of cases.

The patient is prescribed immunostimulants: polyoxidonium, immunal, cycloferon, etc. These drugs are prescribed only by a therapist or urologist.

Review of drugs

The drugs can be bought at the pharmacy. Please read the instructions before use.

Important

If papillomas appear on the head of a man’s penis, then curing them will not be easy, and the removal procedure will be painful.

First of all, doctors recommend that a man avoid promiscuous sex and use barrier contraception.

With early prevention and a negative test for the virus, a healthy man is offered vaccination against HPV. If the virus is detected, but papillomas have not yet had time to manifest themselves, it is advised to strengthen the immune system in order to avoid their growth.

There are several ways to strengthen your immune system:

1. Improve your diet, add a vitamin-mineral complex or foods enriched with beneficial microelements and substances.
2. Exercise.

In winter and in the off-season, immunologists advise strengthening the immune system with vitamin complexes and antiviral drugs.
