What is the reason for the growth of flesh around the genitals?

The male genitals are a relatively fragile part of the body. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, it will easily lead to bacterial infection. The growth of fleshy particles near the male genitals is also a relatively common disease. This may be due to an inflammatory infection of the penis, or a symptom caused by genital warts. A detailed examination and targeted treatment are required. Pay more attention to personal hygiene.

What causes lumps of flesh to grow near the genitals?

It is more likely to be a viral infection, but it is also possible to have condyloma acuminatum. You can go to the hospital for a check-up and then receive treatment. Do not blindly take medication, pay attention to personal hygiene, and avoid sexual intercourse to prevent cross infection.

Misunderstandings in the Treatment of Condyloma acuminatum

Myth 1: Relapse is easy

Answer: Generally speaking, condyloma acuminatum relapses most often within 3 months after treatment. As time goes by, the patient's infectiousness decreases, and the possibility of recurrence also decreases. If the patient does not relapse after 6 months of treatment, it can be considered clinically cured. If there is no relapse after one year of treatment, then the possibility of recurrence in the future is extremely small, and the possibility of infection is also extremely small. Therefore, the third month after treatment is a "hurdle". During this period, patients should go to the hospital for examination at any time, use medications reasonably, and do not change medications blindly.

Myth 2: Difficult to root out

Answer: The pathogen of genital warts is human papillomavirus, which usually does not enter the blood. After entering the human body, it can lurk in the basal layer of the epidermis and then enter the cell nucleus as the epidermis replicates.

Myth 3: Infertility

Answer: After the condyloma acuminatum is completely cured, it is non-contagious and does not affect pregnancy and childbearing. After regular treatment, if the symptoms disappear and there is no recurrence after one year, the patient can consider getting married and having children.

Myth 4: Will sexual partners definitely be infected with condyloma acuminatum?

Answer: Most patients or sexual partners have a history of promiscuity. Studies have shown that more than 40% of patients' spouses also suffer from genital warts, and 20%-30% of patients have other sexually transmitted diseases. This shows that genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, but a considerable number of patients' spouses or sexual partners do not suffer from skin lesions, which may be related to the immune status of the infected person. The infection rate of genital warts patients after one-time sexual contact is as high as 60%, and it is prone to occur in areas that are easily damaged during sexual intercourse. However, in clinical practice, not all contacts develop genital warts, which may be related to the amount of virus contacted and the patient's disease stage.

Treatment Notes

1. Eliminate the fear of patients with condyloma acuminatum.

At present, some incorrect propaganda about sexually transmitted diseases has caused many genital warts patients to be afraid, worried, and overly burdened, worrying about the adverse consequences such as incurable diseases and cancer. This kind of psychological dysfunction can disrupt the body's normal immune function, reduce the body's immune function and antiviral ability, and make it easy for viruses to reproduce. It often becomes the reason for the recurrence of genital warts and the difficulty in treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to patiently explain to the patient so that the patient has a deep understanding of his condition to facilitate treatment.

2. Patients diagnosed with genital warts should be tested for other sexually transmitted diseases.

Patients with condyloma acuminatum should be examined for sexually transmitted diseases, especially syphilis, gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethrogenital tract inflammation, genital herpes, chancroid, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. If related diseases are found, they should be treated.

3. Check whether the patient with condyloma acuminatum has other local infections.

Patients with condyloma acuminatum may have certain local infections, such as fungal infection, trichomonal infection, bacterial infection, etc. Women in particular should be checked for fungal vaginitis, trichomonal vaginitis or bacterial vaginosis and receive corresponding treatment.

4. Understand the relevant conditions of the sexual partners or husbands (wives) of patients with condyloma acuminatum.

It is necessary to further understand whether the sexual partners or husbands (wives) of patients with genital warts are infected with genital warts or other sexually transmitted diseases, and conduct a comprehensive examination. If related diseases are found, they should be treated at the same time.
