Penile papillomavirus infection from the point of spread of the disease is a rather contagious disease that requires mandatory treatment. A nipple in the penis looks like a tumor that can form on both the surface of the mucous membrane and the skin of this organ. In addition to this localization, tumors can spread to other parts of the human body. The development of the virus is chronic.
Nipples that form in the penis can enter the body in several ways:
- during unprotected sexual intercourse
- in close contact with an infected person in everyday sense.
The disease, like many other viral infections, has its own incubation period, which is quite long - from one month to one year.
Although outwardly, for strangers, the beast may look like an ordinary wart, it is not at all difficult to distinguish. Tumors of this type have a flat or mushroom shape.
Nipples that appear on the penis are almost always the result of transmitting the virus during sexual intercourse. Nipples on the head are not the only location for this disease; neoplasms can also form on the surface of the coronary groove or bridle.
Typical nipple marks on the penis
This type of viral disease is extremely dangerous. Causing a precancerous condition, papillae in the penis can be a source of serious threat to the patient's health and life, these tumors can even degenerate into early stage cancer.
As the presence of a papilloma in the penis raises doctors' concerns about the onset of cancer, with primary signs, treatment should be followed urgently without delay. This disease has a high rate of transformation into a malignant cancer neoplasm, therefore, the methods used to combat papilloma must be extremely effective and radical.
The degenerative process is located in the area of the inner layer of the foreskin or in the epithelium of the head itself. The symptoms and the methods of treatment of the disease are the same in both cases.
The tumor transformation development sequence is as follows:
- The diagnosis appears (if left untreated, the disease reaches a serious stage).
- There is an accumulation of sebum in the area of the foreskin sac (in addition, the entry of urine into this area accelerates the growth of the tumor and causes 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 a papilla in the penis, which degenerates into cancer.
Method of treatment of diseases
The complete rejection of the papilla in the penis is its removal. For this, laser and radio wave surgery methods 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, the most effective is radiofrequency surgery, which has a high degree of safety, painlessness and accuracy. As a result of such an operation, no marks or scars are left on the body.
When fighting papilloma, do not forget its origin. The use of antiviral drugs will not be unnecessary. 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 external manifestations. Patients, young and old, are no exception; this disease occurs equally often in both.
The strongest stress the body has suffered, a long course of drug treatment, which can reduce the effectiveness of the immune system, as well as communicable infectious diseases can exacerbate the disease.
