Removal of neoplasms on the genitals

Neoplasms, including papillomas located in the genital area, can lead to significant health issues for both men and women. These growths may vary in appearance, causes, and complications, but they always require careful attention. At the "Dobrobut" medical network, doctors have substantial experience in dealing with such pathologies and employ the most modern and effective methods for their diagnosis and treatment.

Types of Neoplasms and Papillomas on Genitals:

Genital neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Common types include:

• Papillomas: Benign epithelial growths usually associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV).
• Condylomas: Caused by specific HPV strains, appearing as soft, irregular bumps.
• Seborrheic keratosis: A benign skin tumor.
• Moles: Small flat spots in the genital area.

What are Papillomas:

Papillomas are benign tumors arising from epithelial (surface) cells, most commonly caused by HPV. They often resemble small warts and can be single or multiple. Although typically non-cancerous, some HPV types are linked to a higher risk of cervical and other cancers.

When Papillomas Need Removal:

Removal of papillomas and other neoplasms may be indicated in cases where:

• Clinical symptoms such as pain, bleeding, or discomfort appear;
• Size and/or appearance changes, indicating potential malignancy;
• Aesthetic concerns;
• Precancerous or cancerous cell changes are diagnosed.

Causes of Neoplasms on Genitals:

Causes of papillomas and other growths in the intimate area can include:

• Viral infections, especially HPV;
• Genetic predisposition;
• Hormonal changes;
• Chronic irritation or trauma in this area.

Symptoms of Neoplasms on Genitals:

Common signs of papillomas and other growths include:

• Presence of growths or tumors in the genital area;
• Itching or irritation around the lesions;
• Bleeding or discharge;
• Persistent genital discomfort;
• Pain during intercourse.

If any symptoms occur, it is advised to consult a physician for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis of genital neoplasms usually involves reviewing medical history, examining to assess the size, shape, and location of the growth. If necessary, a biopsy is ordered to analyze tissue samples for cancerous cells, as well as HPV testing to identify specific virus strains linked to malignant tumors.

Modern Treatment Methods for Genital Neoplasms:

Treatment depends on the type and nature of the growth:

• Cryotherapy: Used to remove growths by freezing with liquid nitrogen.
• Electrosurgery: Removes moles on genitals and other abnormal tissues using an electric current.
• Laser therapy: Allows precise removal of papillomas with minimal risk of damage to healthy tissues and bleeding.
• Surgical excision: Removes larger growths using surgical methods.

Rehabilitation Period:

The recovery time after the removal of neoplasms in the intimate area may differ depending on the chosen treatment method. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days after papilloma removal on genitals. A follow-up examination is important to prevent recurrences or timely address potential complications such as infection at the removal site, scarring, pigmentation. Recurrence may occur if the virus reactivates in the area.

Prevention of Neoplasm and Papilloma Development:

Prevention can include HPV vaccination, regular screening, and safe sex practices.

Early diagnosis ensures effective treatment with minimal risk of complications.
