Let's examine cauterization and excision treatments, which are the most effective solutions for condylomas, with Dr. Tuba Nadide Yılmaz.
What Are Genital Warts and What Causes Them?
Condylomas are genital warts caused by the HPV virus. They are usually sexually transmitted. They can be seen in the vagina, vulva, penis and anus. If left untreated, they tend to multiply.
What Problems Can Genital Warts Cause?
Condylomas do not pose a direct risk to life. However, some HPV types carry the risk of causing cervical cancer. They also pose a risk of disfigurement and transmission.
How Are Cauterisation and Excision Performed?
In cauterization, warts are destroyed by burning them with a chemical solution or heat. In excision, they are surgically removed.
The procedures are applied as follows:
- First the area is cleaned and anesthetized.
- Acid or heat is used for cauterization; surgical knife is used for excision.
- The warts are completely burned or removed.
- Wait 1-2 weeks for healing.
- The treatment is repeated if necessary.
These methods can effectively remove warts.
How Should Post-Treatment Care Be?
Things to consider after the procedure:
- Abstaining from sexual intercourse for a few days
- To follow the rules of cleanliness and hygiene
- Consulting a doctor for any discharge or bleeding
- Making sure the warts disappear completely
Relapses can be prevented with regular check-ups.
