Infection of the penile papilloma 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 on both the surface of the mucosa 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 several ways:
- during unprotected sex;
- in close contact with an infected person in the everyday sense.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has its own incubation period of development, which has a fairly long time frame - from one month to one year.
Although from the outside, for people who do not know it, the papilloma may look similar to an ordinary wart, it is not at all difficult to distinguish it. Neoplasms of this type have a flat or fungal shape.
Papillomas that appear on the penis are almost always the result of transmitting the virus during sexual 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 in the bra.
Characteristic signs of papilloma on the penis
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. Causing a precancerous condition, papillomas in the penis can be a source of serious threat to the health and life of the patient, these neoplasms can even degenerate into a first stage cancer.
Since the presence of papilloma on the penis raises doctors' concerns about the appearance of cancer, with primary signs, treatment should be urgently followed without any delay. This disease has a high degree of transformation into a malignant cancerous neoplasm, therefore, the methods used to fight papilloma must 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 itself. The symptoms and methods of treating the disease are the same in both cases.
The sequence of tumor transformation development is as follows:
- Phimosis occurs (if left untreated, the disease reaches a severe stage);
- There is an accumulation of smegma in the area of the foreskin sac (moreover, the entry of urine into this area accelerates tumor development and provokes further infection);
- In the next stage, the head and flesh become inflamed;
- After the onset of erosion, the doctor can already diagnose the presence of papilloma in the penis, which degenerates into a cancer.
Method of treatment of the disease
Complete removal of the papilloma in the penis is its removal. For this, laser and radio wave surgery methods are used. Cryosurgery is also quite effective, scalpel removal, sometimes it is possible to use chemicals or "destruction" 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 is no mark or mark on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget about its origin. The use of antiviral drugs will not be excessive. 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 secretive disease, it can be completely asymptomatic for a long time without any external manifestation. Patients, young and old, are no exception; this disease occurs equally often 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 transferred infectious diseases can intensify the disease.
