Male genital thorns

The health of male genitals is very important for men. In life, many men do not pay attention to personal hygiene and develop some bad habits. These will affect the health of the genitals. Many thorns grow on the genitals, which makes men miserable. Some men feel embarrassed and dare not go to the doctor, and as a result, the condition becomes more and more serious.

What is the cause of the male genital thorns?

Male genital warts are mostly caused by condyloma acuminatum, which can only be diagnosed through examination. You can go to the dermatology and venereology department of the hospital for an acetic acid white test and HPV antibody test. If the test result is positive, it can be confirmed as condyloma acuminatum, and antiviral drugs such as interferon can be used for treatment. In addition, laser freezing and other methods can be used for treatment. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection.

What are the symptoms of male condyloma acuminatum?

Generally, condyloma acuminatum has an incubation period of about 2 weeks to 8 months, depending on the patient's immunity. If the body's immunity is good, the incubation period will be very long. If the body's immunity is relatively low, many people will develop symptoms two weeks after infection. Mainly, some irregularly sized small granulations will appear on the genitals. At first, there are a few small red rashes, not too large. Later, the patient will have pain and itching, and symptoms of erosion and necrosis will occur. If you touch it lightly with your hand, fluid will seep in, which can easily lead to bacterial transmission and fungal infection. At the same time, many patients will also experience local redness, swelling, pain and inflammation, leading to symptoms of infection. Many male friends will not only experience frequent urination and urgency, but also renal insufficiency due to kidney infection, enlarged lymph nodes, and local redness and swelling.

What harm does condyloma acuminatum usually bring to patients?

1. Ulcers and bleeding: As the lesions grow larger and more numerous, they may cause local foreign bodies and discomfort. Since the diseased areas are mostly inside the foreskin, urethra, labia, vagina, and perianal area, these areas are easily infected by microorganisms, leading to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain, and swelling at the lesion sites.

2. Impact on fertility quality: Pregnant women with genital warts may infect their babies during delivery, causing biting and respiratory warts in infants.

3. Damage to the eyes and mouth: Direct contact or indirect contact through contaminated objects can cause papilloma of the conjunctiva and papilloma of the oral mucosa.

4. Inducing cancer: Malignant tumors are the most serious complications of genital warts. If HPV16 and 18 infection is not treated in time, it is likely to cause malignant tumors such as penile cancer and cervical cancer in the future. Early and thorough treatment is the most effective way to prevent genital warts from becoming cancerous.
