During the first consultation
The main complaint, duration of symptoms, previous treatments, accompanying diseases, medications, expectations and relevant examination findings are evaluated together.
Clinical focus
The aim is not to apply the same treatment to every patient, but to understand the underlying mechanism and choose the safest suitable step.
Treatment logic
Follow-up, medical treatment, minimally invasive procedures or surgery are discussed step by step according to the patient’s condition.
What is HPV?
HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus with many types. Some types cause genital warts; others are associated with long-term cancer risks.
Most HPV infections do not mean cancer, but visible lesions and recurrent disease should be evaluated.
How does HPV appear in men?
Genital warts may appear as single or multiple lesions on the genital skin, pubic area or around the anus.
Some lesions are small and easily overlooked; examination and mapping are helpful.
What are treatment options?
Visible lesions may be treated with cryotherapy, CryoPen, cautery or other suitable methods. The choice depends on location, number, size and recurrence pattern.
Treatment removes visible lesions but does not guarantee that HPV is completely eliminated from the body.
Vaccination, partner approach and follow-up
HPV vaccination can provide protection against selected HPV types and may be discussed according to age and risk.
Partner information, condom use, recurrence awareness and follow-up are important parts of management.
Examination and mapping
Visible lesions are assessed by number, location and recurrence pattern.
Cryotherapy / CryoPen
Freezing methods can be used for selected genital wart lesions.
Vaccination plan
HPV vaccination is discussed according to age, history and risk.
Partner and prevention
Partner information, condom use and recurrence awareness are part of care.
