Papillomas go away or require treatment: answers to all questions

The appearance on the skin of unpleasant-looking neoplasms cannot but disturb. There are a lot of rumors around this disease and usually everyone has a question: can papillomas go away on their own or is treatment necessary anyway?

In order to answer unambiguously, it is important to know the reasons for the appearance of an aesthetically unpleasant formation, to understand the factors contributing to the development of the disease, and to know about the body’s natural defenses.

Reasons for the appearance

HPV is the only reason for the appearance of this neoplasm on the skin of a person of any social level, race, gender and age. 99% of the inhabitants of the Earth are carriers of the human papillomavirus. But this does not always mean that a person is sick and his body is covered with growths. Most carriers of the virus never experience the manifestation of the disease or only 1-3 times in their entire lives during periods of weakened immunity.

Currently, medicine is already familiar with 120 strains. Most of them are not dangerous and can only cause the appearance of an unpleasant neoplasm, nothing more. Only a small part are oncogenic, that is, capable of causing cancer, growing on the skin, in the mouth , in the throat , on the gums, genitals and internal organs.

Already at an early age, a person acquires HPV. This happens through the contact of the child with relatives, friends, others or teachers. Simple physical contact, such as a hug or a kiss, even a handshake, is enough.

Therefore, by the age of 18, it is not possible to stay away from the spread of the disease. The virus enters the body through the skin, sinks deeper through its layers and is fixed in the nerve endings. Then, it can live in anticipation of a successful breeding period for years and decades.

Once in the body, HPV, unfortunately, will not go away on its own and cannot be completely eliminated with medicines. Medicines can stimulate neoplasms to disappear from the skin, but the virus remains, no matter what.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of any disease begins with a visual examination of the body and mucous membranes. Papillomas are no exception. Diagnosis and treatment of patients with this disease are carried out by immunologists, dermatologists, gynecologists, proctologists, and oncologists. The task of the doctor is to carefully listen to the patient, collect an anamnesis, ask leading questions. To identify the cause and quality of the disease, you can not do without tests:

• standard blood test;
• PCR test;
• biopsy.

Only a comprehensive examination will reveal the pathological course of HPV. One or another separate type of examination, whether it is a PCR test or a blood test, cannot become the basis for diagnosis and treatment.

How does the body defend itself against viruses?

A virus is a section of DNA covered with a kind of camouflage film consisting of protein. It is both alive and not alive at the same time. Outside the cell, it does not manifest itself in any way, but once inside it, HPV seems to wake up, get rid of the film and begin to multiply. Before the virus gets inside the cell, it can be detected and destroyed. Antibodies stick around the enemy from all sides and give a signal to the macrophage about the detection of a stranger.

Macrophages are strong cells that can break down viruses, bacteria, toxins, and dead cells. The virus is broken down by protective cells and remembered by lymphocytes, so that the next time they encounter this already familiar strain of HPV, they can provide proper resistance. Immunity is a complex way of protection, but nothing more perfect has yet been found. It is important to contribute in every possible way to your immunity in this difficult work.

Factors that provoke the disease

100% of positive HPV tests  appear in immunocompromised individuals. Immunodeficiency can be either congenital or acquired.

The degree of fall also affects: neoplasms that appear on the body after severe pneumonia are less dangerous than in people with AIDS. Indeed, in the first case, the body’s defense will gradually gain strength and come to grips with HPV, and in the second case, the sick person will face an abundant growth of growths throughout the body.

Causes that provoke the appearance of neoplasms in a healthy person:

• seasonal epidemics and protracted colds;
• inflammation in the body, infections of any type;
• depression, stress, neuroses;
• smoking, alcohol abuse, drugs;
• poor nutrition;
• sleep problems, lack of sleep, biological rhythm failure;
• avitaminosis;
• hormonal disruptions;
• damage to the integrity of the skin;
• uncomfortable clothes, shoes and underwear;
• hypothermia regular;
• allergies;
• excess weight;
• promiscuity.

Each of the listed reasons to some extent affects the state of the protective function. A simple chain on the neck, rubbing from day to day, can cause a build-up. Bringing lifestyle in order, quality and proper treatment of diseases and the rejection of bad habits can help immunity in the fight against HPV.

Can papilloma disappear on its own

It happens that the appeared papilloma suddenly disappears on its own . This usually happens for several reasons.

1. The most common is accidental mechanical “amputation” of education. For example, with the usual scratching or soaping of the body with a hard washcloth. Sometimes a person simply does not notice this, and the absence of growth is revealed only after a while. If, nevertheless, the loss of papilloma has not gone unnoticed, it is better to be safe: wipe the damaged skin with peroxide and seek advice from a dermatologist.
2. Pregnancy is a time when the body can be weird. The sudden appearance of papillomas and the same sudden disappearance of them is not uncommon. You should not worry only if you are sure that the problem is only in hormones. Self-diagnosis in any case will be harmful: it is better to share your experiences with a gynecologist.
3. Hemangioma can be the reason for the disappearance of papillomavirus. The sick person may note that all formations have darkened, dried up and disappeared in a short period of time. Most likely, this disease is not accompanied by any additional symptoms. However, such a development of events is an occasion to go to a dermatologist and an oncologist.
4. Adolescents during puberty cannot boast of a stable hormonal background. The appearance and disappearance of neoplasms during this life period does not apply to pathology, if there were no contacts with the sick person or other provoking factors.
5. The body’s immune system is extremely sensitive to external factors. Its temporary weakening can cause formations on the skin, and the restoration of immunity, good rest and the rejection of bad habits will cause the growth to pass.

Any weakening of the protective function of the body can be an impetus for the activation of HPV. Sometimes a lot of growths can suddenly appear on the body and also suddenly disappear without disturbing the wearer ever again. The main weapon that does not allow the human papillomavirus to host in the body is immunity. The task of man is to contribute to its strengthening.

Papillomas have disappeared on their own: how to find out if their cause has disappeared?

Only a specialist can answer this question with a guarantee. An infectious disease specialist, immunologist, dermatologist, and oncologist are studying the origin. Self-diagnosis is initially the wrong plan of action.

Some strains of HPV carry the risk of cancer and any changes in the appearance of papilloma should be an alarm bell for their carrier.

Papillomas do not disappear after pregnancy, what should I do?

In a situation where, with the birth of a baby, neoplasms do not go away on their own, you should not put off a visit to the doctor on the back burner. Often young mothers pay all their attention to the baby and do not think about themselves at all, going to the doctor when the signs cease to be harmless.

A course of treatment, if growths do not disappear after childbirth, is necessary, and one cannot do without high-quality diagnostics. If the virus has already spread over a large area of ​​the skin, it is possible to use more effective methods against papilloma. In any case, it is better to find time for each new mommy and go to an appointment with a specialist.

Treatment

No one is surprised by the sudden disappearance of skin growths. It is recommended to pay attention not only to the moment of their disappearance, but also to the period when they appeared. Most likely, there was a drop in the body’s defenses. In order to help your body fight, it is better to start a war with neoplasms in time.

Medical

A conservative solution to the problem with activated HPV consists of the use of several groups of medicines:

1. Vitamin complexes (Multivit, Alphabet, Complivit and others).
2. Antiviral agents (Viferon, Isoprinzine and others).
3. Means-immunomodulators and immunostimulants (Isoprinosine, Amiksin, Timalin, Eleutherococcus extract and others).

Medical intervention in the body is carried out under the guidance of a doctor. The calculation of the dosage and duration of the course also cannot be carried out independently. It is preferable to remove the hated neoplasms by the most radical method:

• surgically;
• using a laser;
• using radio waves;
• electrocoagulation method .

Only a doctor can choose one or another method. It depends on the appearance of the formation (is there a leg, is it blackened  , etc.) and its location. Usually, after removal by a radical method, medication treatment follows, which is why it is possible to completely block HPV activity.

ethnoscience

Traditional medicine can be applied in conjunction with the main treatment. If for some reason it is impossible to remove the neoplasms surgically, you can try to lubricate them with celandine or dandelion juice.

The disadvantages of such treatment are its duration, the advantages are the low cost of funds. In the past, traditional healers used the juice of garlic, a green sour apple to fight the scourge.

Prevention of recurrence of neoplasms

Sufficient hygiene, wearing natural, loose linen and clothes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs are the foundation that is necessary to maintain the well-being of one’s own immune system.

It is also important to use only your own clothes, towels, hygiene products. During sex with unverified partners, it is necessary to use condoms, after the act, take a shower and carefully treat the genitals (Miramistin, Chlorhexidine).
