Introduction
Despite the fact that the 21st century is in the yard, many young people neglect the methods of barrier contraception. As a result, they become infected with genital warts during sexual intercourse.
In this case, genital warts may appear on the genitals , in the oral cavity, in the urethra or around the anus. However, there is another option for their transmission – from mother to child. From this we can conclude that condylomatosis spreads through any contact with the genitals of an infected person.
What are genital warts and the cause of condylomatosis?
Condylomatosis is a lesion of the skin and mucous membranes with warts. There are two types of them – flat and pointed. Flat ones are most often located on the cervix in women and in the urethra in men, they cannot be cured at home, they can only be surgically removed (cryolysis, electrocoagulation, laser therapy ).
These warts are oncogenic and can cause cancer of the penis or cervix. The situation is a little easier with genital warts, they affect the external genital organs (labia minora and labia majora, anus, penis head). They look like small mushrooms, have a leg, size from 2 to 6 mm, growth is rapid. Condylomas grow several at a time, but sometimes their number can reach several dozen. Condylomatosis is a viral disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
It can stay in the human body for a long time and not make itself felt, but as soon as the immune defense weakens (as a result of illness, stress, hormonal failure or constant lack of sleep), the disease begins its active development. The main cause of infection with genital warts is a promiscuous sex life, as well as ignoring condoms as a means of contraception.
Symptoms of condylomatosis
The first manifestations of this disease may appear after a few months, because the incubation period of the virus can last up to a year. Only after this, the following symptoms may appear:
- the presence of outgrowths that outwardly resemble corals or cauliflower inflorescences (their surface is uneven, red-brown in color);
- itching, burning in the area of growths;
- pain during intercourse or urination;
- heaviness in the lower abdomen (occurs in women – similar to menstrual pain);
- problems with defecation (when warts are located in the anus);
- bleeding from the genitals.
How to identify education in women and men?
Diagnosis of genital warts is quite simple. They are visible to the naked eye. But to make the correct diagnosis, it is worth going through several examinations:
- A smear from the urethra and cervix (the procedure is painless, the doctor scrapes off a little epithelium with a spatula or spatula).
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) – diagnostics (gives an idea of the type of virus). For this, secretions from the genital organs are taken for analysis.
- A blood test from a vein for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
- If oncology is suspected, a biopsy may be prescribed – taking a small affected area and then examining it under a microscope.
How to get rid of neoplasms in folk methods?
Therapy of condylomatosis is aimed not only at eliminating external manifestations – growths, but also at muting the virus in the body. Therefore, modern treatment involves an integrated approach – taking antiviral drugs (Viferon, Panavir , Andara), applying local medicines (Verrukacid, Superchistotel), as well as using immunomodulators (Anaferon, Amizon).
In special cases, removal of warts (using a laser, current, freezing or scalpel) may be indicated. Procedures for excising growths are quite expensive, but at the same time effective. Antiviral drugs are also expensive, the course of taking them is quite long – 1-2 months. Therefore, do not forget about the methods of traditional medicine. There are many proven remedies that help get rid of genital warts:
Yoi
It is a cauterization of the affected areas 2-3 times a day. Iodine does not need to be diluted with anything, it is a drying and antibacterial drug. The duration of treatment is short (1-3 weeks). In addition to being effective in removing genital warts, iodine prevents their growth, as it has a deadly effect on the pathogenic virus.
Celandine
It is the most popular and effective method. For cauterization, natural celandine juice or a medical preparation (sold at any pharmacy) is used. To remove a single pointed wart, it is necessary to apply the agent very carefully on it, while not touching healthy tissues. The procedure must be repeated until the condyloma falls off. It is enough to apply celandine once a day.
Garlic
You will need to squeeze a clove of garlic with a press. Condylomas are smeared with the resulting slurry several times a day, and at night a piece of garlic clove is applied and fixed with adhesive tape. The procedure should be carried out with extreme caution, because the juice can burn healthy mucous membranes or skin.
Onion
A fairly simple way. To do this, you need to soak a small onion in table vinegar, cut it into plates and apply it to the sore spot, wrapping it with a bandage. Maximum efficiency is achieved when applying a compress at night. The course of therapy is 1 week.
Propolis
It is recommended to take a piece of beekeeping product, moisten it with saliva or warm water to achieve the consistency of plasticine. Softened propolis should be securely fixed on the affected area and left for at least 3 days.
Potato
You should grate one potato tuber on a fine grater, squeeze the juice through gauze. Put the gruel on the condyloma and seal it with a plaster. Repeat several times a day until the neoplasm dries. Baked potatoes have the same effect.
Aloe
It is necessary to cut off one of the lower leaves of the plant, chop into small pieces. Apply the mass to the bandage and apply to genital warts. Secure with a tight bandage. You will need to repeat the procedure every 4 hours.
Apple vinegar
You will need to cauterize condyloma with acetic acid until it disappears completely (usually 7 procedures are enough). It is important that the vinegar gets on the neoplasm, because on healthy skin you can get a chemical burn.
plums
Another rather interesting method: it is recommended to mash one plum, add a tablespoon of salt and vinegar to it, pour in 100 g of water. Dip half of another plum into the resulting composition, hold it for half an hour and put it on the wart. The compress is applied daily at night for 10 days.
Cranberries and walnuts
To prepare the composition, you need to grind 400 g of fresh cranberries through a sieve and squeeze with a gauze cut, chop the same amount of walnuts and two green apples there. The resulting mixture should be put on fire, pour 200 g of sugar and pour 100 g of water, bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes, pour into jars. Take a delicious medicine inside every day before meals, 1 tbsp. This is an excellent general tonic for fighting viruses.
sour apples
Squeeze juice from half a sour apple, rub genital warts 4-6 times a day. You can simply cut off a piece of pulp, make holes in it to let the juice out with a toothpick and wrap it to the affected area. The course of therapy is 10 days.
Rowan
To remove warts, you need to take fresh red rowan berries, cut them in half and attach one slice to the affected area, fix with a plaster. You will need to keep the berry all night. Therapeutic course – 1 week.
Castor oil
It is worth buying castor oil (you can find it in any pharmacy chain) and lubricate warts with it 2 times a day – in the morning and in the evening. The product contains many acids that dissolve tissues. A 2-week course is enough to completely get rid of outgrowths.
Duct tape
Adhesive tape (adhesive tape) on a paper basis must be glued to a place that is affected by a condylomatous infection. Leave for a week. At this time, hygiene procedures must be carried out carefully so as not to wet the structure. After 7 days, the tape is sharply torn off and the neoplasm is filed with a nail file.
Oatmeal bath
This method is not able to eliminate warts, but it can significantly relieve genital itching and reduce inflammation. You will need to scroll 500 g of flakes through a meat grinder, pour hot water over them so that they swell. Pour the mass into the prepared bath (there should be little water to cover the affected area). Steaming with oatmeal should last at least 15 minutes, during which time the neoplasms will soften, and the burning and itching will go aside.
herbal decoction
It is a powerful immunostimulant. The decoction is taken orally before meals, 3 tablespoons. The treatment course is half a month. For cooking, you will need the following herbs in equal quantities: plantain, horsetail, lemon balm, nettle, dandelion root. The components must be crushed and mixed thoroughly. For two tablespoons of herbs, you will need a liter of water, which is poured over raw materials and boiled for 10 minutes. Next, the infusion must be removed from the fire, covered with a blanket so that it cools as slowly as possible.
Sagebrush
When warts appear on any part of the body, an infusion of wormwood is used: a couple of glasses of herbs are brewed in two liters of boiling water and insisted for 2 hours. In this infusion, you need to soar the condylomatous skin daily for an hour. The course of treatment is 10 days.
Kalanchoe leaves
This plant can help in the treatment of warts. You can squeeze the juice out of the sheets and lubricate the warts with it, or simply cut the leaf and fix it on the skin for a long time.
Virus prevention
Prevention is the key to health. Since the papillomavirus can be asymptomatic in the body for a long time, so that it does not manifest itself, a number of conditions must be observed:
- Strengthen immunity – go in for sports (running, fitness, yoga), temper (take a contrast shower, pour cool water over), eat well (the menu should contain meat, dairy products, oily fish, eggs and whole grain bread), take multivitamin complexes (Vitrum , Doppelhertz, Calcemin Advance, Complivit).
- Try not to be nervous, not to get depressed.
- Ensure yourself a good rest and sound sleep.
- Timely treat infectious (FLU, SARS), as well as chronic (gastrointestinal, kidney, liver, cardiovascular) diseases.
- Observe sexual hygiene – use condoms during intercourse, do not resort to frequent changes of sexual partners, treat the intimate area with special antiseptics after intercourse.
- In the case when a person lives under the same roof with a sick person, frequent washing of hands will be required, the main thing is that the infection does not get through a wound or a crack in the skin.
Conclusion
Genital warts are not a sentence. They are perfectly treatable at home, both with the help of traditional and alternative medicine. However, this does not mean that you can not contact a medical institution. After all, only a doctor can determine the nature and type of the disease, conduct the necessary diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.
