The human body is an incredible system with many components, and among the microorganisms in it you can find not only beneficial and harmless microorganisms, but also bacteria that adversely affect health. Some of them are present in the body from birth, while others can appear during daily intercourse and / or sexual intercourse.
The latter includes the papilloma virus, which cannot manifest itself over a long period of time. Its distribution is approximately the same between the two sexes, and it can appear in different zones (including the genitals). However, papillomas in men are not as dangerous as in women, which can be mentioned, though small, but a consolation for the representatives of the strong half of humanity.
What is HPV?
The virus spreads in human blood. Infection with it contributes to the appearance of small papillomas, which are tumors (usually benign). On the body, they are not formed immediately, but over a period of time.
Flat papillomas can grow up to a centimeter or more, and their appearance is usually concentrated on the armpits, face and in the groin area. Today, doctors know more than a hundred types of viruses in question, and some of them can enter the body at the same time.
Characteristics of papillomas on the male penis
Unfortunately, during the formation of the genitals on the male penis, one cannot notice it. For a long time, such growth did not appear in any way, because its location in hard -to -reach places is often unnoticed and does not cause discomfort.
This condition is very unpleasant and even dangerous, because papillomas on the penis can eventually lead to more serious diseases, such as squamous cell carcinoma and so on.
Of course, in practice, human papillomavirus does not often cause dire consequences, but any risks must be taken into account. For this reason, experienced doctors recommend that you periodically undergo a complete examination that can detect viral diseases and illnesses.
Important!
In addition, in men, neoplasms on the penis itself very rarely appear, and more often it is preceded by all sorts of chronic or acute inflammatory processes.
Sometimes papillomas on the penis may not appear even though the virus is present in the male body. In this case, the person is simply a carrier of HPV, but does not get sick with it.
However, treatment procedures should be followed even if there are no signs of the disease, as the papilloma virus is easily transmitted through sexual and even domestic contact. Therefore, your relatives and friends, whose immunity is not strong enough to suppress the infection, may fall ill.
The danger of detecting growths on the male genital organs
Even small papillomas on the male genitalia pose a very high risk, as they can lead to the formation of cancerous tumors.
However, modern medicine is evolving well, and you can get rid of the problem quickly. Timely treatment of papilloma on the penis lasts about a week and gives excellent results without recurrence.
If you are late in contacting a doctor, then you cannot do it without surgical intervention. In this case, there is a risk of subsequent papilloma degeneration at the head of the penis.
In such cases, their treatment will be more difficult and require a very long time. Even so, this condition can be resolved completely without any unpleasant consequences, and you just need to see your doctor in a timely manner.
Characteristics of disease diagnosis
It is possible to independently diagnose human papillomavirus virus in the male penis, although some inaccuracies in the definition of the disease are always possible.
But you will not be able to determine the stage of development of the disease without an experienced doctor. All conclusions can be made only on the basis of the conclusions of a qualified urologist, whose job is to interview and examine the patient.
In addition, with papillomas on the penis and testicles, it is necessary to pass a number of tests, among which the main one is a smear for the determination of HPV. If the doctor finds a concomitant disease, then its treatment may initially be necessary, and only after that plans for papillomavirus will be made.
On how to treat papilloma, there is no uniform recommendation for all men. Much also depends on the results of examinations, individual characteristics of the organism and intolerance to the components of such drugs.
Therefore, self -treatment at home without first consulting a professional doctor can be an unpleasant consequence.
How do papillomas develop on the male penis?
As mentioned several times above, without efficient and rapid treatment of benign papillomas, they can eventually develop into malignant tumors. In order not to regret the delay, if it is too late, it is better to contact a dermatovenerologist and urologist as soon as possible. Both of these specialists will help you solve problems related to papillomas on the skin of the penis.
After HPV enters the human body, neoplasms on the body do not appear immediately. Depending on the activity of the epithelium and the function of the immune system, papillomas on the penis can appear quickly or long after infection. However, they go through the following stages of development:
- Transition of phimosis to advanced stages;
- Accumulation of smegma under leaves in the foreskin;
- Subsequent smegma infection with urine, which is often the cause of malignant tumor formation;
- Inflammation of the head and shaft of the penis;
- Penis erosion;
- The appearance of a clear papilloma, which can then lead to the development of penile cancer.
The importance of papilloma removal on the penis immediately
Of course, papillomas on the glans penis are very unpleasant. This is not just about the discomfort or possibility of contracting other illnesses, but also the embarrassment that a man can experience when seeing a doctor.
For this reason, many representatives of the human half are in no hurry to treat papillomas on the penis, hoping that eventually they will disappear on their own or rely on their own strength.
In fact, you are only risking your health. HPV really happens when you need to be frank with a doctor. In this case, not only need to pass the necessary tests, but also to answer all the questions of the doctor, no matter how personal they are.
Only in this way can a specialist say with certainty why the neoplasm appears in the penis and what to do to get rid of the papilloma.
Usually, medications on their own do not solve the problem, so you may need to intervene to completely remove the papilloma from the penis. This can be done in several popular ways:
- Cryosurgery.In this case, the neoplasm is removed with liquid nitrogen. The advantage of such a procedure lies in the complete absence of contraindications, and can be used at the stage of development of the disease. However, other methods will be better for you if you want to experience as many unpleasant sensations as possible. Cryosurgery is considered the most painful way to remove a papilloma on the head of the penis, after which there is a possibility of ulceration and / or erosion.
- Electrocoagulation.The procedure is quick and virtually painless without leaving scars or scars. Unfortunately, it also has some drawbacks, and under the influence of needle electrodes, pigment spots can form on the penis.
- Radio waves.Of all the ways a papilloma can be removed, this is one of the most interesting. Relative novelty and, as a consequence, the lack of long enough tests did not allow him to become a leader in medicine. The available results prove that papillomas can be cured with radio waves not only quickly and painlessly, but also very carefully. After such an operation, there is absolutely no trace on the penis.
- Chemical solutions.If the growth around the head is small, then a special solution used for growth is the best solution. With their help, the papilloma on the head disappeared on its own, almost without a trace. But the solution is not suitable for everyone, because sometimes it causes allergies.
- Surgical knife.Classical surgery has been used for many years, so papilloma removal on the head of the penis in this way is considered the most proven and reliable option. There is no pain in this case due to the use of local anesthesia, but the appearance of scars after the procedure is very possible.
To get rid of a papilloma once and for all, drug therapy after its growth has been removed is also an important part of treatment. Within the framework, folk remedies can also be used, but it is not recommended to dispose of them yourself.
Important!
Since papillomas appear on the genitals due to viruses, the use of antiviral agents is mandatory. After these medications, the concentration of HPV in human blood decreases, and the immune system returns to normal functioning.
Prevents HPV and prevents infection
If you do not want to know the appearance of papilloma, then you need to adhere to some important recommendations from an experienced doctor. With their help, you can avoid the possibility of neoplasms on the penis and avoid many other problems. The first step is to understand why papillomas appear on the genitals. They can arise because:
- Domestic contact with an infected person or an object he or she has just touched;
- Intimacy with virus carriers;
- Long -term use of antibiotics, which causes a significant decrease in immunity;
- Constant stress and constant bad habits.
Often, benign tumors of the foreskin appear after sexual intercourse (not only classically, but also anal or oral) in an infected partner. Therefore, you should always use a condom when having intimate contact with an unfamiliar girl.
You also can not forget the rules of personal hygiene, because the work of the immune system, as well as the development of infections and viruses, is highly dependent on this. You should not contact the personal belongings of people you do not know or your loved ones who have signs of the disease.
Stopping bad habits like alcohol intake and smoking has always been one of the best methods to protect yourself from many diseases. This is especially important if your drinking and smoking frequency is at a very high level.
Remember to live a healthy lifestyle. Papillomas on the scrotum and penis will never appear if your immunity is high. Exercise, monitor your diet and take vitamins regularly. The latter may not be necessary for everyone, but in the winter and during life under stress, the body’s protective functions always need extra support.
In order to never see a white formation on the bridle, trunk and scrotum of your genitals, you can also use vaccinations. Modern medicine offers several vaccine preparations at once, which fight the popular virus types 16 and 18, which cause the growth of white, pink or brown papillomas.
The disadvantage of this approach is that the vaccines currently available are very new and do not pass standard testing for this class of drugs.
