Condylomata Acuminata (Anogenital Warts)
The most common sexually transmitted infection. In over 90% of cases, warts are caused by “low-risk” HPV types 6 and 11. Incidence is high and appears to be increasing.
They typically occur in individuals aged 18–35 years. Clinically, lesions appear as small papillomatous growths in the genital and perianal region, and diagnosis is usually clinical. No available treatment eradicates HPV infection; therefore, recurrences are common. Infectivity decreases after treatment but does not become zero.
Sexual partners should be examined for possible warts, and female partners should be informed about the importance of regular cervical screening (Pap test).
The quadrivalent HPV vaccine provides high-level protection against anogenital warts. The vaccine is prophylactic and does not alter the course of an already established infection. Various treatment methods exist; in our clinic, electrocautery is used.
