What should I do if there are lumps around the glans?

When male friends find some fleshy particles around their glans, they must pay enough attention to it. Most of the time it is caused by genital warts. Genital warts are a relatively common sexually transmitted disease. It will bring many adverse effects to human health. The following editor will introduce what methods should be used to treat male friends when they find that they have genital warts.

Microwave therapy

It is a treatment method that has emerged since the 1990s. Its principle is to use the high-frequency vibration of microwaves to evaporate the water inside the warts, causing them to necrotize and fall off. The characteristics of microwave treatment are that the warts are completely destroyed and are not easy to recur, but the wounds recover slowly and are prone to secondary infection. Therefore, microwave treatment is particularly suitable for treating large, isolated, scattered warts, and at the same time, they should be kept away from the frenulum of the foreskin to prevent damage to the frenulum and affect the male's sexual function.

Cryotherapy

It is a commonly used treatment method in dermatology. It uses liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide dry ice to freeze skin lesions, causing local edema and necrosis of the skin lesions to achieve the purpose of treatment. Condyloma acuminatum is caused by infection with the condyloma acuminatum virus, which leads to benign hyperplasia of the skin and mucous membranes. It has a large number of small blood vessels and proliferates rapidly. The freezing method can freeze the condyloma acuminatum, forming a local high degree of edema in the tissue, thereby destroying the wart. The biggest advantage of cryotherapy is that it leaves no local marks, and the cure rate is about 70%. It can be used by spraying or direct contact, and is suitable for flat and smaller warts. Generally, freezing is done once a week, for 2 to 3 consecutive times.

Surgical treatment

Condyloma acuminatum generally does not advocate surgical excision, because after surgical treatment, condyloma acuminatum is very likely to recur, making the treatment fail. However, surgical excision can be considered for larger warts with pedicles. Some patients have condyloma acuminatum that grows too quickly or is as big as cauliflower, and other treatments are very difficult, so surgical treatment can be considered. To prevent recurrence, other treatments should be combined after surgery.

Electrocautery

It is an older treatment method. In the past, dermatologists often used high-frequency electric knives or electric soldering irons to burn common warts, moles and other skin tumors. Its characteristics are simple operation and quick effect. High-frequency electric knives can directly remove and dry warts, and the treatment is also more thorough. However, the electrocautery surface heals slowly. In summary, electrocautery treatment can be used to treat any condyloma acuminatum, but it requires high technical skills from the operator. Excessive or insufficient cauterization is harmful. At the same time, attention should be paid to aseptic operation to prevent infection.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is a relatively common treatment method for skin and sexually transmitted diseases. Its most important feature is that the treatment is quick and effective. During the treatment, some of the condyloma acuminatum will fall off. The most important method for treating condyloma acuminatum is to burn the wart with carbon dioxide laser. Generally, after one treatment with these methods, the wart will fall off.
