What is this procedure?
Condylomas cause pain, burning sensations, are located in places that are very accessible to damage, this can lead to inflammation or other complications. Full life activity is impossible with this disease. Intimate relationships are also problematic, and there is also a possibility of infection of the partner and others. See other symptoms of condylomas here.
The procedure involves excision of the desired problem area at a distance using an electric current conductor (usually a comfortable handle with an electrode at the end in the form of a loop).
The radio waves formed between the conductor itself and the skin remove unnecessary tumors with their hot action. For condylomas of different sizes, different frequencies are used.
This method is used with preliminary anesthesia (injections or cream), sometimes without it, if the growth is very small and is not located on the mucous membranes.
The operation lasts about half an hour, sometimes more or less - depending on the degree of spread of condyloma in a man or woman.
The incision on the skin during radio wave therapy is much thinner than the incision made by a surgical scalpel - there cannot be bleeding or infection of the blood and the wound as a whole.
After consultation with a doctor, the patient usually undergoes the necessary tests :
- Dermatoscopy.
- PCR (chain reaction of viral formations).
- Examination of the mucous membrane of the urethra.
- Anal examination.
- General blood sampling for infections, level of the immune system.
Women should undergo a uterine examination and cytology tests.
Then the doctor prescribes the most effective treatment method for the patient, most often this is radio wave removal.
The doctor will prescribe antiviral drugs and agents that restore immunity. After this, after some time, repeated collection of tests and examination of the patient are necessary.

How is the radio wave electrocoagulation procedure performed?
Condylomas should not be removed during infectious processes of the genital organs and sexually transmitted diseases. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis after local anesthesia. The duration of the operation is determined by the number of formations and their location. A high-energy wave removes condyloma without the device itself touching the surrounding tissues, as if at a distance. No blood or extensive wounds, just a purple dot at the site of the wart. After the procedure is completed, the woman is sent home with recommendations to abstain from thermal procedures and sexual intercourse for a couple of weeks.
You should not think that tiny skin growths do not need your attention; under their mask there may be a big problem that will sooner or later reveal itself, but then it will require a lot of effort and money. Contact the Medicine Clinic 24/7 for a consultation to gain calm confidence in the future: +7 (495) 230-00-01.

Condyloma removal procedure
Removal of condylomas using radio waves does not require a hospital stay. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.
The area of skin where the condyloma will be excised is treated with antiseptic drugs. To eliminate discomfort, the patient is given local anesthesia. Depending on the type of condyloma and its location, the doctor may treat the surface with an anesthetic drug in the form of a spray or give an injection.
The surgical field is separated from adjacent areas of the skin with sterile napkins. The doctor guides a tungsten thread (electrode) along the line of attachment of the condyloma, excises it and removes it. The procedure takes a few minutes.
The tissue of the removed condyloma remains intact. This allows them to be sent for histological examination.
A wound remains at the site of the growth. The doctor treats her and applies a bandage. He may prescribe antiviral drugs or drugs that stimulate the production of interferon.

Radio wave treatment
The Surgitron device, which is used to remove tumors using the radio wave method, was created in the USA. High frequency radio wave energy is used for treatment.
This energy, concentrated at the tip of a thin working electrode, is directed towards the tissue to be removed and causes it to heat up. Due to intense heat, tissues are destroyed. Radiosurgical removal of condylomas is performed under anesthesia.
Removing condylomas using radio waves has many advantages:
- no pain and blood;
- surrounding healthy tissues are not damaged;
- rapid healing, scars rarely remain;
- no special preparation required.
Contraindications
This method is not suitable for everyone.
Radio wave removal of condylomas has a number of contraindications :
- oncological manifestations;
- any colds, infections;

Features of wound care after removal of condyloma
Many patients are interested in the question of what skin care is like after manipulation.
People are afraid to go to doctors. Because they believe that the radio wave technique will knock them out of working order for a long time, and they will have to stay in the hospital to recover. In fact, as doctors note, everything is completely different.
The skin does not require any special care.
After the device operates, a small crust forms in the problem area, which disappears on its own after approximately 7-8 days. Naturally, the healing time can vary greatly, but it rarely exceeds 14-21 days.

As doctors note, the crust formed during manipulation plays a special role.
The fact is that it protects a small wound from infections. It also helps to normalize regenerative processes in the skin. In this regard, the crust must not be peeled off under any circumstances. If you violate its integrity before it falls off on its own, you can end up with a pigment spot or a full-fledged scar in the problem area.
Services
In medical condylomas, papillomas, gynecologists remove
- Solkovagin solution
- liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction method)
- radiosurgical method using the Surgitron device
- using fractional CO2 laser ERASER-C
Papilloma is a benign skin growth caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). It is transmitted through sexual and household contact with the mucous membranes of an HPV-infected person.
Condyloma is a wart-like formation on the mucous membranes and skin of the genital organs, caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). Transmitted only through sexual contact.
Papillomas and condylomas can be located on a woman’s external genitalia, on the mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix.
In medical practice, gynecologists remove polyps using radiosurgery using the Surgitron device.
A polyp is a benign formation of the cervical canal of small size, tree-like, with a stalk. Polyps appear on the vaginal mucosa.
SYMPTOMS OF PAPILLOMAS, CONDYLOMA IN WOMEN
- discomfort, pain during intercourse
- the appearance of formations on the skin and mucous membranes of the outer labia
There are more than 100 types of HPV, some of which lead to cancer. Thus, HPV types 16 and 18 provoke the development of cervical cancer in 92% of cases. Therefore, it is important to promptly diagnose and eliminate the external manifestations of HPV - condylomas, papillomas.
Removal of condylomas and papillomas is carried out as prescribed by a gynecologist if there are medical indications.
SYMPTOMS OF POLYPS IN WOMEN
- discomfort in the lower back
- constant/recurrent aching pain in the lower abdomen not associated with the menstrual cycle
- menstrual irregularities
- the presence of bleeding before/after/between menstruation and after sexual intercourse
- heavy menstruation, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain
Women who have undergone curettage of the uterine cavity, endometritis (inflammation of the uterus), women with lipid metabolism disorders and endocrine diseases are predisposed to the development of vaginal polyps.
Constant trauma to the vaginal polyp during sexual intercourse leads to heavy bleeding and increases the risk of developing vaginal cancer.
Removal of polyps is carried out as prescribed by a gynecologist if there are medical indications.
MANDATORY EXAMINATION BEFORE REMOVAL OF CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS, POLYPS
- flora smear
- smear for oncocytology to exclude malignancy of neoplasms
- smear for sexually transmitted infections (PCR test)
- rapid test for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, C (blood test is performed in our laboratory within 30 minutes)
REMOVAL OF CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS SOLCOVAGIN
Solkovagin is a chemical preparation containing a solution of acetic, nitric, oxalic acid, and zinc nitrate. The acids that make up the drug destroy the protein compounds of cells and provoke the death of neoplasm tissue. The drug is purchased by the patient independently.
HOW IS SOLCOVAGIN REMOVAL DONE?
Removal of formations is carried out on a gynecological chair. The cervix is exposed with speculum and treated with alcohol or Lugol's solution. An anesthetic spray is sprayed onto papilloma and condyloma. The gynecologist cauterizes condylomas and papillomas with a preparation applied to a cotton swab.
A crust forms at the site of removal, which disappears within 5-7 days. Complete tissue healing occurs within 10-14 days. For multiple formations, 2-3 procedures are required.
Removal duration – 40 minutes.
REMOVAL OF CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS WITH LIQUID NITROGEN
Cryodestruction – removal of papillomas, condylomas on the skin and mucous membranes of the genital organs using liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 196°C.
During cryodestruction
- intracellular and intercellular fluid freezes
- ice microcrystals form
- the cell nucleus and walls are damaged
- the cell is destroyed
- the pathological tissue is gradually rejected and replaced with healthy tissue
HOW CRYODESTRATION IS CARRIED OUT WITH CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS
Removal of formations is carried out on a gynecological chair. The cervix is exposed with speculum and treated with alcohol or Lugol's solution. The gynecologist cauterizes papillomas and condylomas with an applicator with liquid nitrogen.
Under the influence of low temperatures, tissues are destroyed. A bubble forms, which resolves within 6-7 days, then a crust. Complete tissue healing occurs after 10-14 days. The removal procedure is painful. No anesthesia is provided.
Treatment with liquid nitrogen is repeated every 1–2 weeks until the tumors on the mucous membranes and skin completely disappear.
Removal duration – 40 minutes.
REMOVAL OF CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS, POLYPS USING THE SURGITRON DEVICE
Radiosurgical removal - removal of papillomas, condylomas, polyps on the skin and mucous membranes of the genital organs under the influence of radio waves using the SURGITRON device.
HOW IS REMOVAL PERFORMED WITH THE SURGITRON DEVICE?
Removal of formations is carried out on a gynecological chair. The cervix is exposed with speculum and treated with alcohol or Lugol's solution. An anesthetic spray is sprayed onto the papilloma, condyloma, and polyp. Under the influence of radio waves, a non-contact incision and cauterization of damaged tissue is performed. Using a special electrode resembling a thin wire, a beam of radio waves penetrates deep into the damaged area of tissue and evaporates it, simultaneously sealing the vessels. Removed condylomas, papillomas, and polyps are sent for histological examination.
Removal duration – 40 minutes.
Histology is the examination of samples under a microscope to clarify the diagnosis, determine the benignity or malignancy of tissues.
The production time for histology is 7-10 days.
REMOVAL OF CONDYLOMA, PAPILLOMAS USING FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER
An anesthetic spray is sprayed onto papilloma and condyloma. Under the action of a laser beam, the skin formation heats up and evaporates. At the same time, the laser beam seals the vessels, preventing bleeding. Removed condylomas and papillomas are sent for histological examination.
Removal duration – 40 minutes.
Histology is the examination of samples under a microscope to clarify the diagnosis, determine the benignity or malignancy of tissues.
The production time for histology is 7-10 days.
Forecast of relapses after radio wave removal
The effectiveness of the technique is at the highest level and is approximately 80-90%. There are cases of relapse when condylomas reappear on the labia. But such patients are few. To prevent negative aspects, you should strictly follow the recommendations of our specialists, who will prescribe a whole range of therapeutic measures:
