What are genital warts?

They are cauliflower-like or flat-like growths on the penis or scrotum. They are often asymmetrical and polymorphic. They can occur anywhere on the body, especially in areas prone to increased friction, such as skin on skin, skin on mucous membrane or mucous membrane on mucous membrane. They are generally asymptomatic. However, itching and, more rarely, bleeding can occur.

When is surgery recommended to a patient?

Our urologists highly recommend this surgery if the lesions persist despite undergoing medical treatment, such as Condyline drops, Aldara cream (to stimulate the immune system) or liquid nitrogen. These treatments however, do not get rid of HPV. A person who has been treated for HPV can still transmit the virus, even if the warts are no longer visible. Our urologists may also suggest a vaccine.

What exactly is a fulguration or an excision of genital warts?

The procedure is done in Cosmocare Medical Center. The patient receives medicine that numbs the area around the warts (local anesthetic).

• First, the lesions are outlined with a marker and then disinfected.
• Small lesions are burned with an electronic scalpel; this is a fulguration.
• Larger lesions are removed and the skin is closed with absorbable sutures; this is an excision.
• The post-operative recommendations are the same for both procedures.
