Papilloma infection of the penis from the point of spread of the disease is a rather infectious disease that requires mandatory treatment. Papillomas on the penis look like neoplasms that can form both on the surface of the mucous membrane and on the skin of this organ. In addition to this localization, the neoplasm can spread to other parts of the human body. The development of the virus is chronic.
Papillomas that form on the penis can enter the body in several ways:
- during unprotected sex;
- by close contact with an infected person in the colloquial sense.
This disease, like many other viral infections, has its own incubation period of development, which has a rather long time frame - from a month to a year.
Although outwardly, to the uninitiated, papillomas may look similar to ordinary warts, it is not at all difficult to tell them apart. This type of neoplasm has a flat or fungal shape.
Papillomas that appear on the penis are almost always the result of transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse. Papillomas on the head are not the only site of localization of the disease, neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronal groove or on the bridle.
Typical signs of papilloma on the penis
This type of viral disease is very dangerous. Causing a precancerous condition, papillomas on the penis can be a source of serious threat to the health and life of the patient, these neoplasms can even degenerate into first-stage cancer.
Since the presence of papillomas on the penis raises the doctor's concern about the occurrence of cancer, with primary signs, treatment should be followed immediately without delay. This disease has a high rate of transformation into malignant cancerous neoplasms, therefore the methods used to combat papillomas must be very effective and radical.
The degeneration process is localized in the area of \u200b\u200bthe inner layer of the foreskin or in the epithelium of the head itself. Symptoms and methods of treatment of this disease are the same in both cases.
The sequence of progression of tumor transformation is as follows:
- Phimosis appears (if not treated, the disease reaches a severe stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of \u200b\u200bthe foreskin sac (moreover, the entry of urine into this area accelerates the development of the tumor and provokes further infection);
- In later stages, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- After the erosion, the doctor can already diagnose the presence of papillomas on the penis, which develop into cancer.
Disease treatment method
Complete removal of the papilloma on the penis is its removal. For this, laser and radio wave methods of operation are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, surgical removal with a scalpel, can sometimes use chemicals or "destroy" with drugs (cytotoxic drugs).
Among the above methods, the most effective is radio wave surgery, which has a high degree of safety, pain and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, no scars or scars are left on the body.
When fighting papillomas, do not forget about their origin. The use of antiviral drugs will not be superfluous. They can not only be an excellent support for the immune system, but also significantly affect the level of concentration of the virus in the blood, reducing its number.
Papilloma is a very dangerous disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without external manifestations. No exception patients, both young and old, this disease is equally common in both.
The strongest stress suffered by the body, prolonged drug treatment, which can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, as well as transferred infectious diseases can increase the disease.
