male papilloma
Male papilloma: causes
- Due to unprotected sexual contact: The most common type of infection, including because a person can become a carrier of the virus for a long time without knowing it, since the virus only has the ability to manifest under the influence of external factors. It can also be transmitted through direct contact with mucous membranes. In this case, if the skin or mucous membranes are damaged (cracks, scratches, cuts, etc. ), the risk of infection increases. Due to the prevalence of this infectious cause, it is understandable that papillomas (genital warts) in both men and women often appear at contact points in intimate areas, with men generally at a higher risk of infection due to their greater sexual activity, But women's mucous membranes are less protected.
- Through household contact: It has been proven that the HPV virus can enter the human body through ordinary contact (even handshakes), especially in public places (baths, swimming pools, gyms, etc. ).
- The patient's immunity is reduced;
- Having great physical or mental stress, tension, or exhaustion;
- There are many types of sexually transmitted diseases.

Treatment of HPV in Men
preliminary inspection
First appointment
- Blood tests (in the case of genital warts, urethral secretions can also be analyzed): modern diagnostic methods allow the isolation of viral DNA from existing material, thereby confirming its presence in the patient;
- Papilloma (genital warts) biopsy: used to determine whether cancer cells are present in the tumor.
Further treatment options
- Use cryo-destruction (liquid nitrogen);
- Diathermic coagulation (high frequency current);
- electrocoagulation (cautery with electric current);
- laser;
- Chemical or surgical methods, etc.
- In addition to topical treatments, various antiviral drugs are used: human interferon;
- Viferon;
- cyclosiderin;
- Revron;
- Interleukins, etc.
- Avoid sexual intercourse, especially unprotected intercourse, to prevent the virus from entering your partner's body;
- Boost your immune system through diet and moderate physical activity.
complication
prevention
- Ask to have sex with a trusted partner and use barrier contraception. At the same time, modern research shows that only high-quality protective equipment can significantly reduce the risk of HPV infection in both partners;
- Strengthen the immune system: diet, taking vitamins, etc. ;
- Use of a special vaccine: Human papillomavirus medication for men, three injections into the brachialis muscle, can minimize the risk of contracting the disease. The injection must be carried out after initial consultation with a specialist (this precaution is only suitable for people who are not infected with HPV);
- A preventive visit to a urologist to check for sexually transmitted diseases and other possible problems with the genitourinary system and to get tested for viruses.
