What Are Anal Warts (Condyloma)? Symptoms and Treatment

Anal warts (condylomas) are contagious lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), appearing around or inside the anus. They spread through sexual contact; early treatment is important. Left untreated, they can spread rapidly and cover larger areas.

Symptoms of Anal Warts

• Appearance: Raised, flesh-colored or pinkish, cauliflower-like growths.
• Itching: Persistent itching around the anal area.
• Bleeding: Minor bleeding due to irritation.
• Discharge: Sensation of moisture or discharge.

Treatment Options

1. Cauterization / Laser: For small lesions — warts are destroyed using electrocautery or laser energy. The most frequently preferred effective method.
2. Cryotherapy: Freezing method using liquid nitrogen to destroy lesions.
3. Surgical Excision: Surgical removal for extensive lesions.

Follow-up and HPV Management

• Regular Follow-up: Since HPV can remain in the body, check-ups for 3–6 months after treatment are important.
• HPV Vaccination: Consult your doctor about protective vaccination.
• Partner Notification: Sexual partners should also be evaluated.
