13. Condyloms


Definition:

The Condylomas acuminate are small nodular tumors, which result from a virus infection. These cauliflower-like different sized nodular could be around the anus and genital region. They can occur also in the anal channel and increase in size by time. In rare cases they can degenerate even maliciously, so that the treatment should begun as early as possible.

Condyloms

Causes:

As a virus infection they are transferred often by sexual intercourse. In addition, lubrication infections, e.g. shared towels, can be responsible for it. The illness can also occur at infants.

Complaints:

They don’t cause a pain, however they cause itching, burning and sometimes a smeary discharge.

Also foreign object feeling and sometimes even sealing dysfunction of the anus can occur.

Treatment:

Smaller nodular can heal by dabbing with certain solutions or special ointments. Larger ones however must be eliminated surgically.  This procedure is accomplished under local anesthesia and does not cause any substantial complaints after the operation.

After the surgical procedure the adherence to the anal hygiene and medical check-up of the partner is also important.
