Removal of genital warts in Kiev
Genital warts (condylomas) are a manifestation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) on the mucous membranes in the form of pink or brown nodules of various shapes and sizes. Genital warts are easily transmitted from person to person.
Causes of genital warts
The cause of genital warts is infection with a specific type of HPV. The infection can be transmitted through:
-
sexual contact with an infected partner;
-
visiting public places (pools, saunas, tanning salons, etc.);
-
using shared towels, non-sterile medical instruments, etc.;
-
intrauterine fetal development through the mother's blood supply or during passage through the birth canal and direct contact with infected tissues.
It’s important to note that HPV infection may go unnoticed. In many people, the virus remains in a latent form for years. The appearance of symptoms and development of genital warts may be triggered by:
-
weakened immune system;
-
inflammatory or infectious diseases of the genitourinary system;
-
damage (scratches, burns) to the mucous membrane of the genitals;
-
vaginal microflora imbalance;
-
hormonal changes;
-
use of hormonal medications, including oral contraceptives;
-
pregnancy;
-
vitamin deficiency, etc.
Symptoms of genital warts
Warts may appear as single or multiple growths in the genital area. Other symptoms may include:
-
sensation of a foreign body;
-
genital itching;
-
moisture in the intimate areas affected by warts.
Diagnosis of genital warts
Genital warts can be diagnosed by a gynecologist during a visual examination. To confirm the diagnosis and rule out related conditions, the doctor may also prescribe:
-
Pap test — a cytological analysis of a cervical epithelial sample (scraping);
-
vaginal microflora test for urogenital infections;
-
extended colposcopy — examination of the cervix using a colposcope and application of iodine or acetic acid solution to detect dysplasia and determine its boundaries;
-
pelvic ultrasound and other investigations as needed.
Genital warts: treatment
Treatment begins with a gynecologist consultation at the “Oxford Medical Kyiv” clinic, which includes a delicate discussion of the patient's complaints. The gynecologist performs a pelvic exam and palpates the breasts.
If genital warts are present, the woman is recommended to take an HPV test to determine the virus types in her body. This is not required for removal itself, but it is important for the patient’s long-term health. High-risk HPV strains, without proper medical monitoring, may lead to oncological conditions in the future.
Warts can appear on the external genitals or anus, or internally (in the vagina or on the cervix), and the treatment method depends on their location.
Removal of external genital warts
External warts are removed using the radio wave method with the Surgitron device. No special preparation is required. The removal of vulvar warts and other external warts does not take long and depends on their number.
In most cases, warts are removed in a single session lasting about 20 minutes. With Surgitron, pathological tissues are coagulated bloodlessly using a radio wave scalpel. The procedure leaves no scars, making it recommended for all women needing treatment. After removal, it is advised to avoid hygiene procedures, saunas, pools, and intense physical activity for the first 24 hours, and to abstain from sexual intercourse.
Treatment of internal genital warts
In some cases, internal warts are treated with medication. Each case is assessed individually by the doctor, taking into account the size and number of growths, presence of comorbidities, etc.
If genital warts appear in women, treatment should be comprehensive — in addition to removal, antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Men with genital warts also require a comprehensive treatment approach.
Prevention of HPV and genital warts
To prevent HPV, it is recommended to:
-
get vaccinated against common HPV types;
-
use barrier contraception (though it does not guarantee 100% protection);
-
have a regular sexual partner;
-
visit a gynecologist every 6–12 months for an exam with colposcopy and a Pap test;
-
boost the immune system;
-
avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
For patients infected with HPV, a physician may recommend an individual prevention plan. The most important measure in such cases is regular check-ups and appropriate tests for monitoring.
