Kondyli

Kondyli, also known as condyloma, are small, flesh-colored growths that appear on the genitals, anus, or rectum. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), specifically types 6 and 11. These growths are typically painless and can be single or multiple. They are often mistaken for warts, but they are not the same. Kondyli can be contagious and are usually transmitted through sexual contact, although they can also appear spontaneously.

Kondyli are not cancerous, but they can cause discomfort and may lead to complications such as infection or bleeding. They can also be a sign of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy, or surgical removal. Prevention involves practicing safe sex, using condoms, and getting vaccinated against HPV.

Kondyli are more common in young adults and are more prevalent in men than women. They can appear at any age and are not a sign of poor hygiene. Regular check-ups and open communication with healthcare providers can help manage and treat kondyli effectively.
