HPV treatment for women – antiviral drugs, folk remedies and removal methods

Papillomas are neoplasms on the skin that are very common. They can form in the groin, in the armpit, on the neck, chest and between the fingers. In women, papillomas can occur on the genitals , on the cervix and internal genital organs.

HPV (human papillomavirus) is a fairly common disease that affects two-thirds of the female population of the world. There are many methods of treatment of this disease, both medicinal and folk. But only an integrated approach can give a positive result.

Symptoms of the human papillomavirus

Papillomas outwardly resemble moles, so many do not pay attention to neoplasms that appear on the skin. Only a qualified specialist can distinguish an unwanted growth from a birthmark.

There are several types of neoplasms:

• simple;
• flat;
• pointed;
• plantar;
• filiform;
• vulgar.

There are certain signs by which a dangerous neoplasm can be distinguished from an ordinary mole . The symptoms are:

• the growth on the body is similar in appearance to a mushroom, or a papilla on a leg;
• this neoplasm grows, can be up to two centimeters;
• on palpation of the site, pain may occur;
• the papilloma itself has a heterogeneous consistency – the surface is granular, rough;
• the color is patchy, it may be white or milky on the mucous membranes, and dirty brown on the skin. If the growth is damaged, its color changes to black;
• papillomas begin to grow, without any symptoms;
• grow very slowly, but if adverse factors are present, for example, frequent stressful situations, then they can grow very quickly.

Why do they appear

In 50% of cases, HPV is transmitted sexually, and may not appear for a long time. But as soon as a person’s immunity weakens, clinical symptoms of the disease immediately begin to be observed.

Most often, papillomas begin to grow in adolescence, when the young body begins hormonal changes during puberty and the onset of sexual activity. Young people often become infected with frequent changes of sexual partners. As soon as unprotected intercourse occurs, after 1-2 months, growths begin to form on intimate areas.

In women, papillomas appear much more often than in the opposite sex, they occur in the genital area, on the vaginal mucosa, and cervix. These benign formations often provoke cancers of the internal genital organs in women.

Very often this disease occurs in overweight people. To explain this fact is quite simple – these people have disturbed metabolic processes in the body. The growths are often found in the folds of the skin, under the breasts , in the axillary folds, on the eyelids and neck.

Diagnosis and therapy of HPV

Before prescribing treatment, the doctor must determine the severity of human HPV damage, for this the following studies are prescribed:

1. Visiting a gynecologist for an examination.
2. Colposcopy – examination of the cervix using a special magnifier to determine the symptoms of dysplasia.
3. Papanicolaou test – a smear from the cervical canal, which helps to determine changes in the epithelial cells.
4. Digene-test – helps to determine the type of viral infection, and the load of the virus on the body.

Studies should be carried out at least once every 3-5 years, after the first analysis, if it did not reveal changes in the structure of the cervical epithelium. If dysplasia has been identified, then tests should be taken every year.

If the study revealed a disease, the doctor recommends that you undergo a diagnosis to detect malignant neoplasms.

To what doctor will address ? As soon as neoplasms on the genitals are detected, you need to contact a venereologist or dermatologist. If the papillomas are black and large, then it makes sense to be examined by an oncologist.

Papilloma in an intimate place

As soon as papillomas are found in women in intimate places , the doctor may prescribe the following drugs:

• Solcoderm – in the composition, which contains acids. As soon as the drug gets on the neoplasm, it begins to mummify. The active substance is considered potent, but, despite this, it does not affect healthy tissues and acts only on papilloma. The product is applied once, using the applicator. With a strong growth of neoplasms, they are used repeatedly, until a complete cure.
• Ferezol – the composition of the drug contains phenol, which accelerates the process of mummification, after which the neoplasm is rejected. It can be applied repeatedly, but not more than 5 times, while the interval between applying the drug is 7 days.
• Imiquimod is an immunomodulator that helps improve the body’s resistance to HPV. The drug is applied externally and removes papillomas of any size and shape without leaving scars. The course of treatment, depending on the severity of the course of the disease, can be 16 weeks.
• Papilight is a natural drug that effectively acts not only on ordinary neoplasms, but also on those who have a precancerous condition. The main ingredients of the drug are: red pepper, propolis and garlic. The tool not only eliminates papillomas, but also has an analgesic effect. You should not be afraid that this solution will get into healthy areas of the mucosa, it will not bring any harm, despite such a complex composition.
