Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The warts usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps in the genital area. They are flesh-colored and can be flat or look bumpy like cauliflower. Some genital warts are so small you cannot see them. In women, the warts usually occur in or around the vagina, on the cervix, or around the anus. In men, genital warts are less common. They may have warts on the tip of the penis, around the anus, or on the scrotum, thigh, or groin.
You can get genital warts during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. Correct usage of latex condoms greatly reduces, but does not completely eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading HPV. If your or your partner is allergic to latex, you can use polyurethane condoms. The most reliable way to avoid infection is to not have anal, vaginal, or oral sex. HPV vaccines may help prevent some of the HPV infections that cause genital warts.
Your health care provider usually diagnoses genital warts by seeing them. The warts might disappear on their own. If not, your health care provider can treat or remove them. HPV stays in your body even after treatment, so warts can come back.

Genital warts or genital warts on the male genital organs
Genital warts or genital warts is a manifestation of human papillomavirus infection (HPV) in the body in the form of growths on the genitals of a man or woman.
Genital warts can occur in both men and women. Curing genital warts is a very long and difficult process. The Center for Advanced Medicine Only Clinic has the resources to detect and treat genital warts.
Why do genital warts appear on men?
The reason for the formation of condylomas on the genitals of a man is the ingestion of the human papillomavirus (HPV) or papillomavirus infection into the body of a man.
The main way HPV is transmitted is through sexual contact. Moreover, HPV can be transmitted during normal, oral or anal sexual contact.
A man can detect genital warts on his own, because, as a rule, warts are immediately visible.
Usually warts in men appear directly on the head or foreskin. Warts are usually a few millimeters in size. Warts located nearby can merge and form a cluster of warts. Warts are constantly growing.
Complications of warts
Treatment of warts in men is very important. Treatment of genital warts in men should be done as soon as it has formed.
When warts appear on the male genital organs, they are small in size and may not bother a man in any way.
But condyloma is always slowly growing. Condyloma increases in size and causes concern not only for a man, but also for a partner – a woman.
Condyloma, the provoking factor in the formation of which is the HPV virus, is oncogenic in nature and can lead to the formation of malignant tumors, both in men and women.
How to treat warts
At Only Clinic, warts are treated with modern methods:
- laser coagulation
- electrocoagulation – removal of warts with electric current
- radio wave treatment
- medical therapy with creams and solutions
- immunostimulatory therapy
Which method of removal of genital warts in a man will be applied in each case depends on the collected anamnesis, tests and individual characteristics of the man’s state of health.
Warts removal at Only Clinic in Nizhny Novgorod is safe, professional and effective. It is necessary to remove warts from the genitals. Where to apply? Of course, at the Only Clinic! Call: +7 (831) 266-77-60

Papillomas are condylomas – limited papillary growths of the skin and mucous membranes of an inflammatory nature – with sharp tips, or pointed.
Genital papillomas do not differ in color from the surrounding tissues. On the foreskin, light genital warts appear on a thin stalk or flat, in the area of the frenulum on the penis they can appear as small white pimples. Single formations can grow over time. When injured, they can bleed and become pigmented, changing shade from pinkish-beige to light and dark brown. On the surface, temporary formation of crusts and small scales is possible.
Reasons why papillomas are dangerous? Methods of treatment
In men, genital papillomas most often affect the foreskin and glans penis. At the same time, they can occur on the neck and body of the penis, on the scrotum, in the urethra and in the anus. Rarely enough, these neoplasms affect the area around the mouth and pharynx of a person who has had sexual intercourse with an infected partner.
Causes of
Genital papillomas are transmitted through sexual contact, whether oral, anal or vaginal, if the partner is infected. A prerequisite for the occurrence of this infection in the body is a microtrauma, most often invisible to the eye (crack, abrasion on the skin or mucous membranes). Another reason is the weakening of the immune system and the activation of the virus in its carrier.
Some strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) can also cause infection with genital papillomas. Usually the causative agents of the disease are HPV 6/11 species. One of the most obvious symptoms of HPV infection is genital papillomas.
Genital papillomas in men usually appear 1-3 months after sexual contact with an infected partner. In some cases, papillomavirus infection can be suppressed by human antiviral immunity within 1-2 years (if re-infection does not occur). In practice, such cases are an exception, and for the vast majority of patients it is not possible to remove papillomas on their own.
Danger of papillomas
Enlarged papillomas may:
- become injured and bleed;
- spread and grow rapidly;
- be reborn into malignant neoplasms;
- interfere with normal sexual activity;
- disturb from a cosmetic point of view;
- cause psychological discomfort.
Doctor’s opinion
Treatment of neoplasms
Treatment is carried out after a medical examination and consultation. If necessary, a biopsy and cytological analysis of their tissues is performed. The main principle of modern treatment of HPV infection is drug immunological therapy in combination with surgical intervention performed by a urological surgeon. Thus, the effect on the virus in the body is not only through immunotherapy, but also by the method of physical damage to papilloma cells by radio wave evaporation during the operation. If there are signs of neoplasm degeneration, part of the papilloma tissue must be sent for histology to make sure that there are no oncogenic cells.
Advantages of this treatment:
- high efficiency;
- painless;
- rapid tissue healing;
- bloodless operation;
- lack of sutures and eschar (rough burn surface).
