Papilloma infection of the penis from the site of spread of the disease is a rather contagious disease that requires mandatory treatment. A papilloma on the penis resembles a neoplasm that can form both on the surface of the mucosa 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 on the penis can enter the body in several ways:
- during unprotected intercourse
- with close contact with an infected person in everyday life.
Like many other viral infections, the disease has its own incubation period for development, which has a fairly long time frame - from one month to one year.
Although external papilloma to ignorant people may look like a common wart, it is not at all difficult to distinguish between it. Neoplasms of this type have a flat or fungal shape.
Papillomas that appear on the penis are almost always the result of the transmission of the virus during intercourse. Papillomas on the head are not the only site of localization of this disease; neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronal groove or on headgear.
Characteristic signs of papilloma on the penis
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. Papillomas on the penis that cause a precancerous condition can be a source of serious threat to the patient's health and life, these neoplasms can even degenerate into cancer in the first stage.
As the presence of papilloma on the penis gives doctors concern about the occurrence of primary signs of cancer, treatment should be followed as soon as possible without delay. This disease has a high rate of transformation into a malignant cancer, therefore, the methods used to fight papilloma must be extremely effective and radical.
The process of degeneration is localized in the area of the foreskin or in the epithelium of the head itself. Symptoms and methods of managing the disease are the same in both cases.
The sequence for the development of tumor transformation is as follows:
- Phimosis appears (if left untreated when the disease reaches a severe stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of the foreskin (in addition, the penetration of urine in this area accelerates the development of the tumor and causes further infection);
- In the next step, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- After the onset of erosion, the doctor can already diagnose the presence of papilloma on the penis, which degenerates into cancer.
Method of treatment of diseases
Complete disposal of papilloma on the penis is its removal. For this, methods for laser and radio wave surgery are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, removal with a scalpel, sometimes it is possible to use chemicals or "destruction" with drugs (cytotoxic drugs).
Among the above methods is the most effective radio wave surgery, which has a high degree of safety, pain relief and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, no marks or scars are left on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget about its origin. The use of antiviral drugs is not superfluous. They can not only be an excellent support for the body's immune system, but also significantly affect the level of the virus' concentration in the blood and reduce its number.
Papilloma is a very insidious disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without any external manifestations. Patients, both young and old, are no exception; this disease occurs equally frequently in both.
The strongest stress that the body suffers from, a long course of treatment, which can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, as well as the transmitted infectious diseases can intensify the disease.
