Papilloma infection of the penis is a relatively contagious disease from the point of spread of the disease requiring mandatory treatment. Papilloma of the penis looks like a neoplasm that is able to form on the surface of the mucous membrane and 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 on the penis can enter the body in a number of ways:
- during unprotected sexual intercourse;
- with close contact with an infected person in the everyday sense.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has its own period of development, which has a relatively long time frame - from months to years.
Although externally, for ignorant people, papilloma may look like a normal wart, it is by no means difficult to distinguish. Neoplasms of this type have a flat or mushroom shape.
Papillomas that appear on the penis almost always result from the transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse. Papillomas on the head are not the only place to localize this disease; neoplasms can form on the surface of the coronary groove or constriction.
Characteristic symptoms of papilloma of the penis
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. If you develop a precancerous condition, papillomas of the penis can be a serious threat to the health and life of the patient, these neoplasms can progress from first stage cancer.
Since papilloma on the penis raises doctors ’concern about the presence of cancer, with primary symptoms, treatment should be followed urgently without any 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 degenerative process is localized in the inner layer area of the foreskin or in the epitheliiam of the head itself. The symptoms and methods of treating the disease are the same in both cases.
The developmental sequence of tumor transformation is as follows:
- The phimosis is visible (if left untreated, the disease reaches a severe stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of the foreskin sac (in addition, the entry of urine into this area accelerates the development of the tumor and encourages further infection);
- At the next stage, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- After erosion, the doctor can already diagnose the presence of papilloma on the penis, which worsens into cancer.
Method of disease treatment
It is a complete disposal of papilloma of the penis. For this, laser and radio wave surgical methods are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, removing it with a scalpel, sometimes chemicals or "destruction" can be used with medications (cytotoxic drugs).
Among the above methods, the most effective is radio wave surgery, which has a high rate of safety, painlessness and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, scar marks and scars are not left on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget about its origin. Antiviral drug use will not be excessive. Not only are they an excellent support for the body's immune system, but they can significantly affect the level of concentration of the virus in the blood, reducing their number.
Papilloma is a very insidious disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time with no external manifestations. Patients, young and old, are no exception; this disease occurs so frequently in both.
The strongest stress suffered by the body, a long course of drug treatment, which can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, as well as the transmitted infectious diseases can exacerbate the disease.
