Single elements
For 1–5 elements, infiltration anesthesia is sufficient; condylomas are cut off with a radio wave loop or evaporated by a laser with coagulation of the base - there is practically no bleeding. If the removed tissue has an atypical appearance, it is sent for histology. The wounds are treated with an antiseptic, sexual activity is excluded for 2-3 weeks. Early removal of single condylomas prevents their spread and infection of a partner.
Condylomas and HPV
Genital warts are growths on the skin and mucous membrane of the genital organs, caused by the human papillomavirus (usually types 6 and 11), which is sexually transmitted. They are contagious, grow and coalesce, and can affect the urethra and perianal area. Removal eliminates elements and reduces transmission of the virus, but not HPV itself, so relapses are possible (20–30%) - they are reduced by immunotherapy and treatment of the partner. In the price list of clinics, the cost depends on the number of elements.
Removal methods
A radio wave knife (Surgitron) and a laser remove condylomas without contact with minimal scarring and bleeding; electrocoagulation is effective for small elements; cryodestruction - for single cases. Large and atypical elements must be examined histologically to exclude giant condyloma and cancer. Healing 7-14 days without scarring with careful technique.
