From the point of spread of the disease, papilloma infection of the penis is a highly contagious disease that requires mandatory treatment. Papilloma of the penis resembles a neoplasm that can form both on the surface of the mucous membrane and on the skin of this organ. In addition to this localization, neoplasms can spread to other parts of the human body. The development of the virus is chronic.
Papillomas that form in the penis can enter the body in different ways:
- during unprotected sex;
- to be in close contact with an infected person on a daily basis.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has a long development period of one month to one year.
Externally, the papilloma may look like an ordinary wart, but it is not difficult to distinguish. These types of neoplasms are flat or fungal in shape.
Papillomas that appear on the penis are almost always the result of sexual transmission. Primary papillomas are not the only site for localization of this disease; neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronal groove or in the bridle.
Characteristic symptoms of penile papilloma
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. Papillomas in the penis, which cause a precancerous condition, can be a serious threat to the patient's health and life, and these neoplasms can turn into cancer in the first place.
Because the presence of papilloma in the penis increases doctors' concern about the occurrence of cancer, treatment at the first sign should be followed immediately. The disease has a high rate of transformation into a malignant neoplasm, so the methods used to combat papilloma should be very effective and radical.
The degeneration process is localized in the area of the inner layer of the foreskin or in the epithelium of the head. The symptoms and methods of combating the disease are the same in both cases.
The developmental sequence of the tumor is as follows:
- Phimosis appears (if left untreated, the disease reaches a severe stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of the foreskin (in addition, the entry of urine into this area accelerates the growth of the tumor and causes more infection);
- In the next stage, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- Once the erosion has started, the doctor can diagnose the presence of a cancerous papilloma in the penis.
Disease treatment method
Complete removal of the papilloma of the penis is its removal. For this purpose, laser and radio wave operation methods are used. Cryosurgery is also very effective, it is removed with a scalpel, sometimes it is possible to 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, painlessness and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, there are no scars or marks on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget its origin. The use of antiviral drugs will no longer be. Not only can they be an excellent support for the body's immune system, but they also reduce the number by significantly affecting the concentration level of the virus in the blood.
Papilloma is a very insidious disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without external manifestations. Both elderly and elderly patients are no exception; the disease occurs equally in both.
The strongest stress the body suffers from, a long course of medication that can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, and transmissible infectious diseases can exacerbate the disease.
