Papilloma infection of the penis from the point of spread of the disease is a very contagious disease that requires mandatory treatment. A papilloma in the penis looks like a neoplasm that can form either on the surface of the mucous membrane or on the skin of that organ. In addition to this location, neoplasms can spread to other parts of the human body. Virus development is chronic.
Papillomas that form on the penis can enter the body in several ways:
- during unprotected sex;
- with close contact with an infected person in the everyday sense.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has its own developmental incubation period, which is quite a long period of time - from a month to a year.
Although outwardly, to unfamiliar people, papilloma may appear similar to a common wart, it is not difficult to distinguish. Neoplasms of this type are either flat or mushroom-shaped.
Papillomas that appear on the penis are almost always the result of transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse. Papillomas in the head are not the only location for this disease, neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronal sulcus or in the frenulum.
Characteristic signs of papilloma on the penis
This type of viral illness is extremely dangerous. By causing a pre-cancerous condition, penile papillomas can be a source of serious threats to the patient's health and life, these neoplasms can even degenerate into early stage cancer.
<2_img_rightxx>Since the presence of papilloma in the penis increases physicians' concern about the occurrence of cancer, with primary signs, treatment must be followed urgently and without delay. This disease has a high rate of transformation into a cancerous malignant neoplasm, therefore, the methods used to combat papilloma must be highly effective and radical.
The degeneration process is located in the area of the inner layer of the foreskin or in the epithelium of the head itself. The symptoms and methods of dealing with the disease are the same in both cases.
The developmental sequence of tumor transformation is as follows:
disease treatment method
<3_img_leftxx>The complete elimination of papilloma in the penis is its removal. For this, laser and radio wave surgery methods are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, removal with a scalpel, it is sometimes possible to use chemicals or "destruction" with medications (cytotoxic drugs).
Among the above methods, the most effective is radio wave surgery, which has a high level of safety, painlessness and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, no scars or scars are left on the body.
When fighting papilloma, don't forget its origin. The use of antivirals will not be superfluous. Not only can they be excellent support for the body's immune system, but they can also significantly affect the level of virus concentration in the blood, reducing their number.
Papilloma is a very insidious disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without external manifestations. Patients, young and old, are no exception; this disease occurs with equal frequency in both.
The greatest stress suffered by the body, a long course of drug treatment, which can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, just as transferred infectious diseases can intensify the disease.
