Removal of condylomas and papillomas of external genitalia (under medical sleep)
Comfortable treatment without stress and pain
Genital warts and papillomas (manifestations of human papillomavirus — HPV) can rapidly grow, affecting significant areas of the external genitalia, perineum, or vagina. Removing a large number of formations under local anesthesia can be lengthy and uncomfortable. For such cases, St. Luke’s Clinic offers an ideal solution — removal of condylomas under general anesthesia (medical sleep). This allows for the cleansing of the skin and mucous membranes in one procedure, while you sleep peacefully.
When do gynecologists recommend removal with anesthesia?
The choice in favor of medical sleep (intravenous anesthesia) is made in the following cases:
Multiple lesions: There are many condylomas, they form confluent foci (resembling cauliflower) or occupy a large area.
Hard-to-reach localization: Formations are located not only externally but also deep in the vagina, on the cervix, or in the perianal area (around the anus).
Low pain threshold: Anatomical features or increased sensitivity of the tissues of the intimate area in the patient.
Psychological barrier: Panic fear of medical manipulations in the gynecological chair. Anesthesia allows avoiding any stress.
How is the procedure performed at St. Luke’s Clinic?
We use only modern, gentle anesthetic drugs that ensure light sleep and quick awakening without nausea or weakness.
Preparation: Before anesthesia, it is necessary to take basic blood tests and an ECG (this can be done directly in our clinic).
Sleep: The anesthesiologist administers the drug, and you fall asleep for 15–30 minutes.
Removal: While you sleep, the gynecologist-surgeon meticulously removes each condyloma using modern radio wave or laser equipment. Blood vessels are instantly “sealed,” so the procedure is bloodless.
Awakening: You wake up in a comfortable ward of our hospital, with all unpleasant manipulations behind you.
Advantages of removal under anesthesia in our clinic
Problem solved in 1 go: Even with a very large extent of the lesion, the surgeon has the time and opportunity to calmly remove all papillomas in one session.
Aesthetic result: Due to the absence of patient movement and complete tissue relaxation, the doctor works with maximum precision. After healing, no coarse scars or marks remain in the intimate area.
Safety: The procedure takes place in a modern operating room under continuous monitoring of vital signs by an experienced anesthesiologist.
Rehabilitation after the procedure
Already 2-3 hours after waking up, if you feel well, the doctor will allow you to go home.
Since the volume of removal is usually large, the healing period can last 2–3 weeks. During this time, it is important to:
Carefully observe intimate hygiene rules and treat the area with antiseptics.
Refrain from sexual activity until the mucous membrane is fully restored.
Undergo a course of antiviral therapy (as prescribed by the doctor) to prevent the virus from causing relapses.
Your comfort and health are our priority. Schedule a delicate consultation with a gynecologist at St. Luke’s Clinic.
