How does the human papillomavirus manifest in men?

Human papillomavirus (HPV) manifests itself in the form of characteristic changes in tissue growth. It is one of the main causes of diseases of the skin and lesions of the mucous membranes. There are more than 100 species of this virus.

Papilloma

Papilloma is a benign tumor that begins to grow on the surface of the skin in the form of a small nipple. The dimensions of the papillomas vary from 1 to 2 cm. Frequent places of papilloma detection are: nose, mouth, pharynx, vocal cords. In rare cases, papilloma can be detected on the walls of the bladder and in other places.

Annually, an impressive number of patients with genital warts (a virus caused by papilloma) seek medical help. But in frequent cases this virus remains unnoticed and proceeds without any symptoms .

It should be noted that the symptomatology depends on the type of the virus.

Condyloma

The virus of the papilloma is manifested, often, by the appearance of genital warts. But this symptom is manifested only in 2% of sick people. The appearance of condyloma, by the way, is also a sign of weakened immunity. Human papilloma virus in men and women is localized mainly in places that come into contact during sexual intercourse (on the genitals, as well as near the anus). The incubation period of the virus can take from a couple of weeks to several years.

Condylomas manifest themselves in the form of warty growths of corporal or pink color. Over time, condyloma can grow and turn into draining condyloma (multilayered formation).

The human papilloma virus in men is characterized by the appearance of condylomas predominantly near the frenum, the glans penis, and around the anus. In women, condylomas extend to the clitoris, labia, the opening of the urinary opening, the cervix and the vagina.

Depending on the condition of the immune system, condylomas can not change for a long time or pass independently. This symptom, like condylomata, is considered very unpleasant and dangerous. These formations interfere with sexual life, causing discomfort, and can also bleed.

Symptoms

The human papilloma virus in men and women can manifest themselves in the appearance of unpleasant sensations, as well as itching in the genital area. Another sign of the appearance of the papilloma virus is the presence of unusual secretions.

Causes

The human papillomavirus in men and women predominantly appears during infection during sexual intercourse. Infection can occur both through the rectum and vagina, and during oral sex.

Treatment

Do not try to remove warts on your own! Trying to get rid of the papilloma threatens to get the infection on other areas of the skin, which will lead to rather disastrous consequences.

If a papilloma or wart of an unknown origin is detected, you should immediately consult a dermatologist. It is necessary to assimilate: the removal of papilloma is the prerogative of specialists!

In addition to removing the warts themselves, it is necessary to treat the papilloma virus, as well as strengthen immunity.
