Patient's question:
What is a granuloma on the penis? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, you are likely infected with genital warts. Genital warts are epidermal proliferative lesions caused by human papillomavirus infection and are one of the important sexually transmitted diseases. The incubation period averages 2 to 3 months, and the lesions do not have self-limiting progression. Symptoms include local itching and pain, and a few patients may be asymptomatic. It is recommended that you seek medical examination at a regular hospital as soon as possible. Currently, a two-stage treatment approach is adopted: the first stage involves imiquimod photodynamic antigen seeding to clear the virus, and the second stage involves drug-assisted treatment.
