Oos <\/span>HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), the human papillomavirus, is considered one of the most widespread sexually transmitted diseases.<\/strong> <\/span>There are many types of the virus. <\/span>It is particularly resistant and contagious,<\/strong> <\/span>while its frequency is increasing rapidly worldwide. There are over 100 types of HPV, which have been numbered (HPV1, HPV2, HPV3, etc.). Of these, 15 are high-risk for carcinogenesis. <\/span>Some types are transmitted through sexual contact<\/strong> <\/span>and some cause genital warts, single or multiple lesions that develop in the genital area in men and women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Symptoms<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Warts are usually asymptomatic and rarely may cause itching or a burning sensation.<\/strong> The areas where they appear are the penis, the scrotum, the groin area, and the perianal region for men, while for women, they appear on the vagina, the vulva, the cervix, and the groin and perianal region. More rarely, they manifest on the lips, the larynx, the hands, and the mouth. The appearance of genital warts occurs on either the internal or external genitalia. The virus enters the skin and mucous membranes through micro-abrasions in the genital area, which are created during sexual intercourse. In appearance, genital warts resemble skin tags (or moles) and their color is white or the same as the skin. Their diagnosis is clinical and must be made by an experienced Dermatologist, who will also recommend the appropriate treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wart removal can be done with Laser, Cryotherapy, Diathermocoagulation and Surgical removal. The duration of treatment is not clear. The treatments are applied normally, however, recurrence may occur and the removal of the warts may need to be repeated. The treatment is therefore completed when there are no recurrences. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
