What are the early signs of genital warts?
Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as small growths in the genital or anal area and may develop weeks to months after exposure. In this episode, we explain early symptoms and how HPV-related conditions are assessed in Europe.
In this episode, we cover:
• What genital warts are (benign skin growths caused by low-risk HPV types)
• Early appearance: small flesh-coloured or grey bumps
• Texture changes: smooth, flat, or cauliflower-like clusters
• Common locations in men and women
• Itching, irritation, or bleeding (less common)
• Transmission through skin-to-skin sexual contact
• The role of HPV vaccination in prevention
• When topical treatment or procedural removal may be considered
• Situations where remote-only assessment may not be appropriate
Doctors assess lesion appearance, duration, sexual history, immune status, and cervical screening history (if relevant) before recommending treatment. Not all genital bumps are warts. Painful ulcers, rapid growth, or uncertain diagnosis may require in-person examination.
This episode reflects how sexually transmitted infections and HPV-related conditions are reviewed within structured medical assessment in European telemedicine at Mobi Doctor.

Erection Problems Due To Antidepressants
Can antidepressants cause erection problems?
Erection problems due to antidepressants are a recognised side effect, particularly with certain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In this episode, we explain why this happens and how sexual side effects are assessed in Europe.
In this episode, we cover:
• How antidepressants affect serotonin and sexual function
• SSRIs most commonly linked to erectile dysfunction
• Effects on libido, arousal, and delayed ejaculation
• Differences between SSRIs, SNRIs, and other antidepressants
• When dose adjustment may be considered
• Alternative medications with lower sexual side effect risk
• The role of PDE5 inhibitors in some cases
• When mental health stability takes priority
• Situations where medication changes may be declined
Doctors assess depression severity, treatment response, cardiovascular risk, testosterone levels (if indicated), other medications, and relationship factors before adjusting therapy. Stopping antidepressants abruptly is not recommended. Persistent erectile dysfunction, mood deterioration, or suicidal thoughts require prompt medical evaluation.

The Effects Of Herpes On The Penis
What are the effects of herpes on the penis?
Genital herpes on the penis is caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2) and can lead to painful blisters, ulcers, and recurrent outbreaks. In this episode, we explain symptoms, transmission, and how genital herpes is assessed in Europe.
In this episode, we cover:
• What genital herpes is (a viral infection transmitted through skin-to-skin contact)
• Early symptoms: tingling, itching, burning before lesions appear
• Typical presentation: clusters of fluid-filled blisters that break into ulcers
• Associated symptoms: pain during urination, swollen lymph nodes, fever (first episode)
• Differences between first outbreak and recurrences
• Transmission risk even without visible sores
• When antiviral treatment (aciclovir, valaciclovir) may be prescribed
• The role of suppressive therapy
• Red flag symptoms requiring urgent evaluation
Doctors assess lesion appearance, timing, sexual exposure history, immune status, and recurrence frequency before recommending testing or treatment. Swab PCR testing may confirm diagnosis. Severe pain, urinary retention, widespread lesions, or systemic symptoms require in-person assessment.
