Penile warts are a type of external genital warts<\/strong> that occur in men who are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV).<\/strong> They are caused by low-risk strains of HPV types 6 and 11. Penile warts are small, fleshy, skin-colored or gray bumps that may be present on the penis in different locations, including the:<\/p>\n Penile warts are caused by HPV infection<\/a><\/strong> which is a very common sexually transmitted infection<\/strong>. Genital warts spread by skin-to-skin contact<\/strong> during sexual activity including vaginal and anal sex. Many men with penile warts remain symptom-free and unaware that they are infected. Sometimes, warts on the penis can cause itching, burning, or bleeding. Penile warts may not show up for months to years after exposure<\/strong> to the HPV virus. An HPV vaccine called Gardasil-9<\/a><\/strong> is available which is very effective in preventing penile warts.Gardasil-9 HPV vaccine is not as effective in men and women who are already infected.<\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer same-day genital wart removal.<\/strong> Schedule an appointment today<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n We also perform comprehensive STD testing<\/a><\/strong> for other infections.

Complete surgical excision of penile warts with fulguration achieves some of the lowest recurrence rates<\/strong> at the same site. Results of surgical excision are better compared to imiquimod or cryoablation. If multiple or large warts are present on the foreskin of the penis, circumcision may be recommended because extensive ablation at this location can cause phimosis due to scarring.

Nonsurgical treatment<\/strong> with podophyllin cream is usually prolonged (4-8 weeks) with relatively high recurrence rates. Cryoablation <\/strong>is fairly effective but typically requires the patient to return multiple times to the urologist\u2019s office. Surgical excision<\/strong> and fulguration<\/strong> are associated with the lowest recurrence rate<\/strong> of penile warts and treatment can usually be completed at a single sitting.<\/p>\n Penile warts on the shaft of the penis can be treated with local creams applied directly to the skin, including:<\/p>\n Schedule an appointment at New York Urology Specialists<\/a><\/strong> to consult with fellowship-trained urologists on the best treatment for penile warts on the shaft and foreskin. Top urologists in New York City for foreskin wart removal will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n Different treatments for penile warts (external genital warts) show different clearance rates. Studies (link<\/a>) have found penile wart removal and electrodesiccation with electrocautery is superior<\/strong> to cryoablation and podophyllin application. Clearance rates with electrocautery are more than 90 percent, compared to about 80 percent with cryotherapy and 40 percent with podophyllin. A circumcision is an effective option for extensive foreskin warts because ablation may cause scarring and phimosis (a condition where the foreskin cannot be pulled back).<\/p>\n Direct skin-to-skin contact with a penile wart during vaginal, anal, and (rarely) oral sexual activity can spread HPV infection to your partner. If you have penile warts, you can protect your sexual partner by:<\/p>\n It can take months for penile warts and other symptoms of HPV infection to appear, so it\u2019s difficult to know when and from whom the infection occurred.
