Brief Answer:
Seems like human papiloma virus condyloma

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for the follow up question.

I think what those white lesions are condyloma. They come in a male after getting infected with human papiloma virus. In a man they are not a problem just annoying. You can remove them by a local dermatologist. You need to specifically ask to get tested for them if you need to know if you really are infected by HPV.

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.

Brief Answer:
Hpv don't affect possibility of getting pregnant nor pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

It can be gotten sexually, but sometimes in hospitals when in contact with infected tools.
If you and your girlfriend have been the only ones from each other, then it is most probably something else. But if that is not the case, then you or her have gotten it from previous sexual encounters and given to each other. Maybe your girlfriend has it too, but has developed no visible condyloma. In woman it causes uterus cervix cancer. That is why your girlfriend does regular pap tests.
It does not affect pregnancy. So no problem about that.
Even if you use condom, the virus in located in the skin around genital area, so still can be transmitted while in contact with the skin of the partner.

Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Detailed Answer:

Yes there is a risk your girlfriend can get cancer. She maybe has done the vaccine aggainst HPV. In this case there is no risk for cancer.
HPV appear on test by the vaginal secretions of your girlfriend.
Or if you would like those white lesions to be taken off, then you they can be tested for that. Most cases, just the condyloma lesions are enough to tell that those are from HPV. While your girlfriend should consider the PAP test every two years, to keep under control the possibility of having cancer. This is a test that every woman should do because the HPV virus is very spreadable.
