 Anal and Perianal Condylomas

 Anal and Perianal Condylomas

 

Anal and perianal condylomas are wart-like lesions, most commonly caused by infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). These lesions may develop inside the anus or around the perianal area, causing physical and aesthetic discomfort. Transmission occurs primarily through sexual contact.

The main risk associated with these lesions is malignant transformation, making effective and regular screening essential. Anoscopy, and more specifically high-resolution anoscopy, enables early detection and more effective treatment.

Early treatment is essential to:

  • Prevent progression of lesions;
  • Reduce the risk of malignant transformation;
  • Relieve symptoms and improve local hygiene.

Treatment depends on the location and extent of the lesions and may include:

  • Topical treatments;
  • Ablative techniques using laser, electrical current or argon gas;
  • Surgical intervention in more extensive or resistant cases.
