The drug begins to fight the virus almost immediately after entering the body, so it is often prescribed for the treatment of papillomatosis. In addition, it acts locally, is not absorbed into the bloodstream and is not able to penetrate the placenta, so it can be used to treat papilloma during pregnancy, starting from the 2nd trimester.

The dosage of the drug is determined by the doctor after diagnosis.

Possible side effects can only be from the mucosal side, and these are itching, burning and irritation.

By itself, the drug cannot be effective enough to completely overcome the virus, but in complex therapy it can be very effective.

The drug is most effective at the initial stage of the course of the disease.

Viferon

The medication is acceptable for use by both children (from 1 year old) and adults with any type of HPV. It is completely safe and non-toxic, so it is often prescribed during pregnancy and lactation.

The ointment eliminates both all types of soft benign neoplasms caused by papillomavirus and hard bumps.

For treatment, the agent is applied to the growth daily 1-4 times for 2 weeks or until the formation disappears. Gradually, the papilloma becomes covered with a hard crust and disappears by the end of the course of treatment.

Often, the ointment is prescribed in conjunction with suppositories to enhance the effectiveness of therapy.

Destruction of neoplasms by hardware

The most popular and effective ways to remove HPV.

Azototherapy

Removal of papillomas with liquid nitrogen is called cryodestruction. The essence of the method is to freeze the neoplasm, after which it falls off, leaving no scars and scars. Before using cryodestruction, a thorough examination is carried out. The patient may also feel some discomfort.

The operation is performed in a medical or cosmetic institution under local anesthesia. The outgrowth is completely eliminated, includes the root part, and the reappearance of the neoplasm in this place is impossible. Healthy tissue areas are not exposed to liquid nitrogen.

Complete healing of the affected area occurs within a few weeks or a month.

Radio wave removal method

This method of papilloma removal  is modern and in demand, and is acceptable for excision of neoplasms in any area, even in the cervix.

The uniqueness of the method lies in the fact that there is no contact with the skin. The doctor sends a radio wave stream to the middle of the growth and carefully excised it. During the operation, the papilloma is, as it were, circled around the perimeter and removed without damaging the surrounding tissues.

After radio wave removal of papilloma, no traces remain, and the procedure itself is absolutely painless.

Electrocoagulation of skin infection

Electrocoagulation is a hardware technique for excising benign formations using high-frequency electric current. The exposure temperature reaches 80 degrees, as a result of which the papilloma is charred. The chance of bleeding is zero.

laser removal

Laser papilloma removal is one of the most modern, highly sensitive and effective methods. The patient does not feel pain during the procedure.

The laser allows you to remove the external formation and damaged tissue to a predetermined depth. The method has a number of contraindications, including blood clotting diseases, pregnancy and oncological processes in the body.

Surgery

Surgical removal of papilloma is considered an outdated method of treatment, although it is still used in public medical institutions or for a large area of ​​the lesion. Before the operation, anesthesia is required – local or general. After that, the surgeon cuts the formation along the border, removes it and sutures it.

Among the disadvantages of the method:

• High trauma.
• Greater likelihood of scarring and scarring.
• Involvement of healthy tissues.

The surgical method is chosen by a specialist if the papilloma grows at a high speed, has changed color dramatically, there is a suspicion of malignancy of papilloma cells, or other removal methods are not possible.

The main advantage of the method is the ability to send a remote formation for histological examination.

The nuances of medical therapy

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with very interesting material on the topic: papillomavirus, treatment, drugs .

Specificity of effective HPV therapy in women

Papillomas in women are treated by a dermatovenereologist or gynecologist. In most cases, complex therapy is used, including several compatible methods of treatment.

If the formation appeared in the vagina or in the cervical region, the age of the woman must be taken into account. So, if she plans to become a mother, it is unacceptable to remove the papilloma by a method that leaves scars, because they can complicate pregnancy.

The same applies to exposed areas of the body, such as the face and neck. For many women, the possible appearance of a scar or scar on the face is a big problem, so a number of methods are immediately excluded.

In men

Treatment of papillomatosis in men has many similarities with that in women. Various medicines, folk remedies and methods for removing papilloma are used. See also how HPV is treated in men, drugs, scheme .

When a neoplasm appears, a man turns to a dermatovenerologist or proctologist, since papillomas often affect the anus. In rare cases, papillomatosis in men  leads to anal cancer, so going to a proctologist is necessary, which is problematic for many males.

In children

Treatment of papilloma in children is mandatory. Medicines are selected in accordance with age, it is recommended to normalize nutrition and strengthen immunity. Very often auxiliary therapy in the treatment is the intake of vitamins.

Antiviral, homeopathic  or herbal remedies, ointments and gels for external use are prescribed. Children are very mobile and active, so the papilloma needs to be cured as quickly as possible, otherwise there is a high probability of damage or accidental detachment of the growth.

It is permissible to remove papilloma in children by all hardware methods, however, they rarely resort to a laser. The preferred method is radio wave removal.

HPV and pregnancy

Papillomavirus is very often activated during pregnancy. Many experts urge to postpone treatment until the birth of a child, because papillomas often disappear without a trace after the baby is born without any intervention.

However, diagnosis is necessary, because papilloma often “brings” any infections with it. If the neoplasm is located in the genital area, it is treated with special attention, since with multiple formations or extensive growth of papilloma, the natural birth process may be contraindicated.

A woman in labor who has a papilloma becomes the object of attention of doctors. The growth is regularly inspected so that it does not change color and does not increase in size.

The use of many medicines during pregnancy is unacceptable. Some of them are conditionally acceptable in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, when the main organs and systems of the baby are already formed.

In any case, doctors treat papillomatosis in pregnant women very carefully, assessing the risks and possible complications. In general, the disease rarely leads to negative consequences for the mother and baby.

Papillomatosis requires careful and careful attitude of the patient. The appearance of neoplasms on the skin or mucous membranes should be an occasion to go to the doctor so that the specialist determines the degree of oncogenicity of the virus and prescribes the appropriate treatment. Self-medication for this disease is prohibited.
