Human papillomavirus, how is it treated?

If a dermatologist detects human papillomavirus in a patient, he will tell you how to treat it and give you detailed recommendations.

But some naive people try to get rid of external manifestations on their own. Folk recipes can help, but in some cases, delay with professional help can lead to the development of cancer. We will now understand why this happens.

What is this disease

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is the collective name for 100 viruses that cause various infections on the skin or mucous membranes of humans. All these strains are divided into three groups:

  1. Non-oncogenic. Viruses belonging to this group cause the appearance of very benign formations. They are safe for human life and do not cause any discomfort. This is because they are often not located where they were injured.
  2. Low oncogen. If papillomas appear in the body due to the development of a virus of this group, it should be carefully monitored. In some cases, the formation may be bad. Doctors recommend eliminating such growths to avoid health risks. Re-birth can begin if the treatment is performed by an unqualified specialist or if the growth is damaged in any way.
  3. Oncogenic. Most of the formations that occur under the influence of this group of viruses lead to the development of cancer. This is especially true for women's health. Human papillomavirus in women can cause cervical cancer if treatment is not started on time. However, men also often suffer from these viruses. They cause penile cancer.

HPV is also dangerous because there are no signs that the virus is already living in the body. In the early stages of education, they are so small that only a dermatologist, gynecologist or urologist can recognize them.

And here the question arises, if the papillomavirus is already present in the body, is it possible to treat it? You only need to contact a doctor for this problem, it will help solve the problem.

Treatment

Everyone facing such a problem asks the same question - is it possible to get rid of human papillomavirus? There is still no cure for papilloma, and HPV may seem incurable. However, this does not mean that treatment is unnecessary. Doctors know how to help a person's immune system defeat the papillomavirus.

For this purpose, drugs and special destructive methods are prescribed to help get rid of external manifestations. If there is no cure for a virus, how can it be defeated?

Medications reduce the activity of the virus and the immune system already suppresses the infection. If the body's defenses are significantly reduced, the doctor also adds immunomodulatory drugs and vitamin complexes. The result will depend on how strong a person's immunity is.

Patients often ask if HPV can be treated with medication alone? It is very rare for growths to disappear after taking the drug, but this only happens when the disease is in its early stages and the person's immunity is very strong. In other cases, the disease must be eradicated using destructive methods.

Removal of external manifestations, ie papillomas themselves, is used as follows:

Electrocoagulation - a method to eliminate papillomas
  • scalpel.This method is already a bit outdated, but still helps to get rid of large formations. It is very effective even when other methods cannot be applied. Before getting rid of human papillomavirus in this way, general anesthesia is usually performed and all activities are performed in the operating room.
  • Liquid nitrogen. This method is also called cryodestruction. How to get rid of papillomavirus in this way? Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature; When exposed to papilloma, it freezes and falls off after a while. If large wounds need to be removed, a scar may remain after the procedure.
  • Electrocoagulator. Formations are affected by high or low frequency current. In this case, the papillomas are destroyed from the inside and disappear after a while.
  • Radio Knife. Here, radio wave radiation affects education, which is able to treat papillomas.
  • Laser. This is the most commonly used method. Is it possible to get rid of growths in this way? If the forms are small, one procedure will be sufficient to completely eliminate the external defect. However, if you have more papillomas, your doctor or cosmetologist will advise you to repeat them.

But before you get rid of papillomavirus, you need to do some research.

Examination of a patient with HPV

Research and Diagnostics

Before beginning laboratory and instrumental diagnostics and research, the doctor should thoroughly examine the patient and determine how severely the skin and mucous membranes are affected.

The oral cavity is also examined. Papillomas in the mouth are not uncommon. Women need an examination by a gynecologist to examine the mucous membranes of the genitals. In addition, you still need to do:

  • Cytological research. Cancer cells can be found in the early stages of degeneration.
  • Determination of viral DNA. Helps determine which virus group is causing the papilloma.
  • Histological examinations. To do this, take a small piece of education.
  • Examination of the urinary tract. Allows detection of papillomas in the bladder.

The results of all studies will determine the answer to the question of whether it is possible to treat the papilloma virus in this patient.

Traditional medicine

A very common question is how to get rid of human papillomavirus using traditional medical advice? Doctors unequivocally answer that it is important to be examined before self-medication. If low oncogenic or oncogenic strains are not detected at the time of diagnosis, you can try to defeat the human papillomavirus with "grandmother's methods".

But if the results confirm the worst fears, there is no need to experiment. Often the use of such therapy aggravates the situation. Such a person consults a doctor when degeneration begins or when the papilloma becomes a malignant tumor. Sometimes the patient does not see a doctor again and dies of oncology.

Treatment of papilloma with garlic compression

Let's analyze some recipes

  • Some believe that garlic can cure human papillomavirus. Moreover, it is used both in compresses and internally. A clove of garlic can be sliced ​​or passed through a press. Apply only papilloma within two hours without leaving a healthy skin area. Then the compress is removed and washed with warm water. Garlic should not be left overnight. This can cause both papillomas and burns to healthy skin areas. Such damage to the structure can lead to its degeneration.
  • You can find a lot of research on the internet on how people get rid of papilloma with laundry or resin soap. But you have to be very careful with this tool. It is important to choose the right soap. It should be a stick made of natural raw materials without fragrances, bleaches and preservatives. A soap solution or a previously melted soap is applied to form by adding a mixture of herbs. Such a compress remains overnight and treatment is continued until the accumulation disappears. The use of laundry soap for the treatment of papillomas in the mucous membranes of the genitals in women is strictly prohibited. Such candles will completely destroy the microflora and can leave burns.
  • Celandine. This medicinal plant is used in its pure form, or rather in its own juice. They just infect education. Mixtures and oils are made from celandine. Lotions are made from broth and are sometimes taken orally to boost immunity. If there are people in your family who have died of oncology, you should immediately run to the doctor with any formation on the skin and not expect a fatal outcome.
