Condyloma is one of the most common STDs and is more common among young people.\u00a0You can get warts in the genital area or around the rectum if you have a condyloma.\u00a0Most people do not get any physical problems from warts that usually disappear by themselves.\u00a0The warts are caused by a virus called HPV, human papillomavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes one can hear about so-called flat condyloma.\u00a0By this is meant a virus-altered mucosa without visible or noticeable warts.\u00a0This text is not about flat condyloma, but about typical condyloma, so-called genital warts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not everyone gets symptoms.\u00a0The most common symptom is warts.\u00a0Warts can sit in different places in the genital area.\u00a0Most people who get condyloma have no physical problems, but many experience warts as distorting and mentally disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can often see or feel warts.\u00a0Warts can look different.\u00a0The most common are tabbed or rounded and slightly raised.\u00a0They are often skin-colored or pink to purple, but may also be whitish, red or pigmented.\u00a0Warts can sit one by one, but usually, you have several at the same time.\u00a0In some cases, warts may sit very tightly so that they look like occasional large growths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also have one or more of the following symptoms of condyloma<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact a\u00a0\u00a0health care provider\u00a0if you think you have a condyloma<\/em> and are bothered by it.\u00a0You can also contact a skin and gender clinic, a so-called venereology clinic. They have different names in different places in the country, such as the sex clinic, Sesame, the reception for sex and cohabitation, STD or STI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You who are under 25 can usually contact a\u00a0youth reception.\u00a0Depending on where in the country you live, it may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do I need to seek care if my partner has a condyloma?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not need to seek care if you are in a relationship where your partner has had a condyloma and you have not had any symptoms yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Condyloma<\/span> infects through intimate contact and can be transmitted even if there are no visible symptoms.\u00a0It appears that the condyloma is transferred to the baby at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Condyloma infects fairly easily and most people who have had a sexual partner with condyloma become infected with viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may take a long time before you get symptoms. The time from being infected to seeing warts varies greatly, it can sometimes take several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It depends on what your own immune system is if you get infected and if you get warts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The immune system is impaired when you are pregnant, sick or taking certain medicines. A viral infection can then cause more and larger warts to form. But these disappear when your immune system is as it usually is again after birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A condom\u00a0provides condyloma protection, but it is not 100 percent safe because the condom does not cover all surfaces that may be infected by viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\u00a0vaccine\u00a0included in the\u00a0child vaccination program\u00a0protects against the two types of HPV that are most common in the condyloma<\/strong> and two types that cause cell changes and can lead to cervical cancer.\u00a0The vaccine will be more effective if you get it before you come into contact with these viruses.\u00a0Then the likelihood of getting condyloma is reduced by 80 percent.\u00a0Therefore, you should vaccinate before having sex with another person for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n For girls, vaccination is included in the general vaccination program.\u00a0This means that girls are offered to vaccinate at school free of charge when they are in fifth or sixth grade. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The HPV vaccine is included in the high-cost protection for women up to the age of 26.\u00a0Older women, boys and men have to pay for the vaccination themselves.\u00a0The cost of the vaccination may vary depending on which county you live in and which reception you visit.\u00a0Contact your reception to see what it costs there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a doctor’s examination, you can only get help finding any condyloma. It is usually possible to see immediately whether it is condyloma or not. It is not possible to take a blood test or other test to show if there is a virus or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the doctor may need to take a tissue sample to find or rule out signs of a viral infection. They then remove a small portion of the wart that is examined in a laboratory with a microscope. You will receive local anesthesia if you need to submit tissue samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may leave more samples to see if you have other STDs, such as\u00a0chlamydia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order for you to be involved in your care and treatment, it is important that you understand the information you receive from the healthcare personnel.\u00a0Ask questions if you don’t understand.\u00a0For example, you should receive information about treatment options and how long you may have to wait for care and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people with condyloma get rid of warts without any special treatment.\u00a0It varies how long it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warts can be treated if they cause problems such as itching, burning, scabies, bleeding, and problems with peeing.\u00a0The psychological problems many experiences, when they have warts, are also a reason to get treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most become completely or substantially better within a month of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common to all treatments is that they are focused on removing warts.\u00a0They do not really treat the viral infection that causes warts, although the amount of virus particles usually diminishes after treatment.\u00a0Therefore, it is common to get new warts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are also at risk of passing the infection on, despite the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually, the body’s own immune system usually takes care of the viral infection, but it may not be faster because you have been treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warts can be treated with drugs or removed in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common treatment is with medicines containing podophyllotoxin.\u00a0They consist of a solution or cream that you iron on warts with the help of a small spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The treatment lasts for three days.\u00a0Then you take a break for about four days.\u00a0Thereafter, the treatment is repeated one or more times.\u00a0It is common for you to get red and get sweaty.\u00a0You should stop treatment if the reactions become severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not use medicines containing podophyllotoxin if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The drugs are prescription and prescribed by doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment with solutions and creams can cause problems with itching, burning, redness and small ulcers. The trouble goes away by itself when the treatment is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which method should be used in consultation with a doctor. It can also differ depending on where in the country you live which method is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The various treatments are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should not have intercourse when you are being treated with medicines or while you are healing after surgical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a condom if you have sex with a new partner when you are finished.\u00a0A condom is the best protection for both parties, although it does not completely protect against the risk of transmitting the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The virus can infect even when you have no symptoms suggestive of condyloma. The longer you go without a relapse, the less likely you are to become infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Condyloma is caused by viruses belonging to the\u00a0human papillomavirus group, HPV.\u00a0There are several different types of viruses.\u00a0The viruses that cause condyloma are similar to the types that cause warts on feet, hands and other places on the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HPV infections are very common in the genital area. Most, on the other hand, receive no warts. In most people, the infection heals by itself and everything indicates that the virus has then completely disappeared from the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who are otherwise healthy rarely get long-term complications.\u00a0Those who have severely impaired immune systems can get difficult-to-treat condyle wounds in large areas.\u00a0The immune system is severely impaired if, for example, you have an\u00a0\u00a0HIV infection or need to use drugs that weaken the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The virus types that cause condyloma are not the same as the virus types that cause cervical cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not need to do any extra cell tests\u00a0if you have had condyloma.\u00a0It is enough to take cell samples when you are called.\u00a0It is important that you be examined by a gynecologist if a cell test check reveals that there are condyloma-like changes in the uterus.\u00a0It can be difficult to distinguish condyloma from severe changes in the uterine spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The condyloma virus can be transmitted to the child during childbirth. But it is very uncommon for the child to have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The virus can remain dormant for several years, and later give rise to warts in the child, although it is unusual.\u00a0Therefore, it does not have to be that children who get condyle wounds have been subjected to\u00a0sexual abuse, even though the doctor is still obliged to investigate how the infection may have gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Condyloma is one of the most common STDs and is more common among young people.
