Infection of the papilloma of the penis from the point of spread of the disease is a highly contagious disease that requires mandatory treatment. A papilloma on the penis looks like 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 formed on the penis can enter the body in several ways:
- during unprotected sexual intercourse;
- by close contact with an infected person on a daily basis.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has its own incubation period, which is quite long, from a month to a year.
Outwardly, to people who do not know, the papilloma may seem like an ordinary wart, but it is not at all difficult to distinguish it. These types of neoplasms are flat or mushroom-shaped.
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 place of localization of this disease, neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronal groove or on the bridle.
Characteristic manifestations of papilloma on the penis
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. Papillomas on the penis, which cause a precancerous condition, can be a serious threat to the health and life of the patient, these neoplasms can even degenerate into first-stage cancer.
Since the presence of papilloma on the penis, along with the primary manifestations, raises doctors' concerns about the occurrence of cancer, treatment should be followed immediately without delay. The rate of transformation of this disease into a malignant cancerous neoplasm is high, so the methods used to combat papilloma should be quite effective and radical.
The degeneration process is localized in the region of the inner layer of the foreskin or epithelium of the head. Symptoms and methods of coping with the disease are the same in both cases.
The sequence of development of tumor transformation is as follows:
- Phimosis occurs (if left untreated, the disease reaches a serious stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of the foreskin sac (in addition, the ingress of urine into this area accelerates the development of the tumor and causes further infection);
- At the next stage, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- After the onset of erosion, the doctor can already diagnose the presence of papilloma on the penis, which has turned into a cancer.
Disease treatment method
It is the complete removal, removal of the papilloma from the penis. For this, laser and radio wave surgery methods are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, it is possible to remove it with a scalpel, sometimes using chemicals or "breaking down" with medication (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, no scars or scars remain on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget about its origin. The use of antiviral drugs will not be superfluous. They can not only be an excellent support for the body's immune system, but also significantly affect the level of concentration of the virus in the blood, reducing its number.
Papilloma is a very insidious disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without any external manifestations. Both young and old patients are no exception; This disease occurs with equal frequency in both.
The strongest stress to which the body is subjected, a long course of medication that can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, as well as transferred infectious diseases can aggravate the disease.
