Papillomavirus infection: general characteristics
This viral infection has long been known to the world. HPV affects everyone: the elderly, children, men, women. A separate type of papillomavirus spreads even between animals.
Thanks to the efforts of modern specialists, as well as the latest technologies and research methods, all types of papillomavirus have been identified and studied.
Many of them do not cause any inconvenience to anyone, only occasionally appearing in the form of a couple of small growths. But there are those types that are really dangerous and can develop from a small wart into a malignant tumor.
It is for this reason that close attention is paid to the study of the formation that has appeared on the skin or organs. Gynecologists during standard examinations of women, especially those who have given birth, carefully check for any changes in the mucous membranes of the female genital organs .
Almost 100% of papillomas in the tissues of the cervix are not benign. Such complications are usually provoked by type 16 papilloma. This is one of the main reasons for the development of cancer of the genital female organs.
Due to the fact that all types of this virus, after entering the body, “wait for the moment” for a long time to activate their capabilities, it is difficult to suspect an infection in oneself. Many carriers of this virus will never know what papillomas are, and some are forced to observe daily replenishments on the body.
Each of the types differ not only in serial number, but also in appearance. These are warts, and small translucent growths, and flat plaques. Some of them appear in a few hours, many grow for a long time.
How is human papillomavirus diagnosed?
To remove the human papillomavirus from the body, first you need to diagnose it in yourself. For many, this will not be difficult, since it is not difficult to notice a new thing on the body.
Another thing is if the patient is infected with a genital type of papillomavirus or he simply does not understand that a huge wart is precisely a manifestation of HPV. In any case, you need to contact a qualified specialist with your problem and undergo examinations:
- visual examination by a specialist, preliminary diagnosis;
- colposcopy for women;
- if the mucous membrane is affected, a scraping is taken for examination under a microscope;
- Digene-Test is one of the most accurate ways of typing a virus, determining its stage and the threat of oncological development.
- complications;
- biopsy: a small piece of tissue is subjected to tests and thoroughly studied.
Each of these diagnostic methods is good in its own way, and the result is more dependent on the knowledge and skills of a specialist.
Is treatment necessary?
It is worth immediately making a small reservation: it is impossible to remove HPV from the body. The virus is in the body in a dormant state, covered with a shell that makes it simply invisible not only to medicines, but also to its own immunity. It awakens at times when the immune system is weakened: these are stresses, colds, diseases, lack of vitamins and much more.
On the other hand, without treatment, the growths will appear again and again. They look quite repulsive, especially for young people and women. In addition, if immunity does not provide adequate protection, a person is vulnerable to thousands of other infections that are literally in the air.
In any case, if the appearance of growths is not a problem for a person, then it is better to strengthen and protect the immune system in every possible way. Then non-oncogenic types of papilloma will simply disappear by themselves.
In the case of oncogenic types, high-quality and timely treatment is necessary. Cancer is a rather unpredictable disease and any connivance can turn into disaster at any moment.
It is important to take even the slightest changes in health seriously, undergo scheduled medical examinations on time, and not neglect the recommended examinations if the local doctor suspects something is amiss.
How to remove the human papillomavirus from the body
In practice, getting rid of papilloma on the body quickly and effectively is possible only by physical methods. Usually, after a complete examination, the patient is offered both a conservative and a destructive method of solving the problem.
That is, all growths are removed in the chosen way, and the internal problem is treated with drugs. Many people prefer to add traditional medicine to the main methods. But this is a purely personal choice of each patient, and it is important not to get carried away with experiments on your body and not aggravate your situation.
Physical methods
The term “physical method” is commonly understood as the removal of formations on the skin and mucous membranes, using various methods:
- The surgical method of solving the problem is quite effective, but is not suitable for removal on the face, as scarring is likely to remain.
- Thanks to electrocoagulation, neoplasms are removed using high-frequency current, which is rarely used today.
- Removal by radio waves.
- Removal of neoplasms with a laser is the most popular method, as it leaves no traces and allows you to remove papilloma qualitatively even from deep layers.
- With the help of liquid nitrogen, papillomas are removed quite superficially, the experience of the doctor performing this procedure is important.
- a novelty in medicine – plasma coagulation, a method that allows you to remove neoplasms with sufficient quality using the difference in exposure temperatures (first they freeze, then sharply heat up to enormous temperatures), does not leave scars.
All procedures are performed under local anesthesia of each treated area. Ways to remove warts are safe, but have contraindications, which are detailed by the attending physician. After carrying out any of the described procedures, the doctor will indicate how and with what to process the removed growth.
Pharmacy means
In case of violations of the body’s natural defenses, the doctor may prescribe immunomodulators. Most often, HPV is prescribed:
- Lykopid . A fairly strong drug, which is indicated for regular manifestations of a drop in immunity.
- Transfer Factor. The main advantage of this immunomodulator is that it is allowed for a wide range of people and does not have side effects.
- Interferon. Refers to natural remedies. Contraindicated in allergies, is prescribed most often. Interferon is distributed in different forms: suppositories, tablets, injections, powders. It can also be given to children.
- Cordyceps. It is prescribed to regulate the body’s defense against external influences.
- Polyoxidonium . It removes toxins and toxins well, regulates the functions of immune defense and is allowed even without an appointment by an immunologist.
- Derinat. While taking this remedy, there is an active wound healing, a decrease in the impact of harmful viruses and bacteria on the body.
In addition to the listed pharmacological agents, a good effect in the treatment of HPV is also achieved by other, natural immunomodulators. These funds are involved in the normalization of protective barriers at the cellular level and have virtually no contraindications. These drugs include:
- Cycloferon .
- Viferon.
- Imiquimod.
- Wobenizim.
- Eleutherococcus.
- Echinacea.
As a rule, these and other natural remedies that increase immunity are often prescribed by the attending physician in the complex fight against HPV.
Folk remedies
Traditional medicine offers a lot of ways to fight growths on the skin due to HPV. The most popular among them are the means for treating the affected areas.
- From the leaves of aloe, squeeze the juice through a piece of gauze or make a slurry with a garlic press and wipe the papillomas with them. Often, garlic, apple juice are added to aloe juice.
- Mix onion pulp and apple cider vinegar. It is advisable to apply such an ointment before going to bed so as not to scare away the home with a strange smell.
- Well helps in the fight against growths celandine juice. Although this is a rather long way to fight, it is one of the most effective.
To have a strengthening effect on the immune system, it has long been customary to drink tea with rosehip broth every day. Chamomile tea also has anti-inflammatory properties.
If you eat a little honey every day, you can not only positively influence the body and its protective properties, but also get a whole bunch of vitamins and nutrients.
The influence of papillomas and warts on the psychological state
The appearance of the neoplasm also affects the psychological state of the patient. Most often, growths cause feelings in women and girls, who are most sensitive to any negative changes in appearance.
The appearance of papilloma can also turn into an inferiority complex in adolescents, who, during the difficult period of puberty, are quite critical of themselves. Complete removal of the neoplasm from the skin can solve this problem.
The situation is much more complicated with oncogenic types of papilloma. The human psyche often cannot withstand such pressure, and the disease is complicated by severe depression. Usually the help of a psychiatrist and the psychological support of others is required.
