Papillomas are familiar to many people, most live with them for years without focusing their attention. Often these are harmless formations. But exceptions are possible in the disease, there is a viral principle, therefore, it is transmitted in various ways.
In medicine, this disease is called papillomavirus infection, characterized by formations on the body, many unpleasant bulges. Converging in appearance with warts, either broad-based or pedunculated. As a rule, these are benign growths on the skin, but exceptions are possible, so when the first neoplasms appear, do not postpone a visit to the doctor. What is papilloma and how is it treated?
Characteristics and methods of infection
This type of infection is distinguished from other growths by a rough surface. The color is different: from light, almost white to dark brown. They can appear in various places of the human body: on the face - in the area of \u200b\u200bthe eyes, more often not on the eyelids, on the neck, under the armpits, on the chest and under it, but the most terrible thing is the appearance on the genitals. The diameter ranges from the size of millet to 1. 5 cm. Infection occurs during sexual contact, but cases of infection are also possible by surface contact with the patient and not thorough observance of elementary hygiene rules. This disease affects people with immunity, weakened by various diseases, and is provoked by various factors: SARS or influenza, nervous disorders, the use of drugs for a long time, diseases of the digestive system and others.
More often this disease affects people:
- who lead an unhealthy lifestyle - smokers and drinkers
- engage in unprotected sex
- in poor health
- women with genital diseases
- fans of pools, baths and saunas
Even with frequent sanitization of public places, the virus is able to survive and multiply in a damp environment.
Kinds
If you have an incomprehensible growth and what caused its appearance, only a doctor can definitely answer. But judging by the way it looks and the location, you can assume the nature of the disease. What are they?
common warts
These formations have a different name - vulgar papilloma. They often occur on the neck, arms, and knees. The growths are not very large in diameter. They resemble medium-sized beads, but only on a stem. Sometimes they merge into groups. Rare cases of this species growing into a malignant tumor are known.
plantar
Such a formation appears exclusively on the sole of a person. It causes discomfort when choosing shoes and when walking. Doesn't pose any threat. Often they disappear by themselves with a change in the season or in the case of an improvement in the body's immunity.
flat
These growths usually form on the palm or foot. Such neoplasms are closely adjacent to the skin and have a flesh color. Cause discomfort in the form of irritation, itching and pain.
filiform
These warts are often age-related. The disease is acquired at any age and is dormant. Over the years, hormonal changes and the growth of these papillomas occur. They can be located anywhere on the human body.
How to treat
If you suspect that you are a carrier of a viral infection, immediately seek help from specialists. It is easier to prevent the appearance of new neoplasms than to get rid of those that have already appeared. Using a simple blood test and a smear from the genital organs, a specialist will accurately confirm or deny the presence of a disease in your body. The virus has more than 60 strains. But the real danger is only half.
Get rid of already existing growths in several ways:
- surgical
- laser
- chemical
- medicinal
- folk ways
Now let's look at each of these methods in more detail.
If you are a carrier of uterine papilloma, then you can not do without surgical intervention. The formation affects the mucous surface of the genitals, the doctor cleans the cavity, using hysteroscopy. The procedure takes place under full anesthesia. The doctor uses special devices and cuts off the resulting endometrium, after which an excision is made. The surgical method is not popular in the treatment of affected external areas, since the procedure itself is not pleasant and leaves scars.
Beauty salons use laser treatment. This technology does not cause significant inconvenience and does not require hospitalization of the patient. This method is used when it is necessary to remove the growth on the open part of the body. The operation itself is performed without anesthesia. The client lies comfortably on a special chair, and the doctor touches the wart with a special device that emits laser beams. The root of the formation is removed and cauterized at the same time, thereby eliminating bleeding. In this way, you can remove one build-up, or several at once.
Chemical exposure is performed in the most extreme cases, if a person is struck by a malignant formation. In this case, a drug is administered intravenously to the patient, which affects the entire body of the patient. It is very dangerous as it has many side effects. When neoplasms appear on the cervix, a chemical method of exposure is used. With the difference that the drug is not injected into the blood, but is applied to a swab and applied to the formation. Note that large doses of this drug are very toxic. This type of treatment is categorically not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Doctors also use traditional correction. But before making a final diagnosis, it is necessary to reliably establish the strain and type of virus. After that, antibacterial and antiviral drugs are prescribed. In addition, immunomodulatory therapy is necessarily used. Only a doctor will prescribe drugs, but keep in mind that both partners should be treated at once.
Even famous doctors often resort to traditional medicine, and you should not ignore it. You can try removing papillomas at home. The first recipe from our grandmothers: garlic and celandine. Celandine is purchased at a pharmacy, with garlic, I think it is even easier for every housewife to have it at hand. A few drops of celandine and the juice of one clove of garlic will be enough. Every day, before going to bed, apply a cotton swab soaked in this composition to an unwanted process. We advise you to apply a new composition over and over again.
