The treatment of papilloma virus is a complex technique for eliminating the symptoms of the infection, its causes, through surgical and therapeutic methods. Benign neoplasms - papillomas - can appear on different parts of the body or mucous membranes. Most often such formations are harmless, but there are situations when their removal is necessary to prevent the degeneration of the formation into a cancerous tumor. That is why it is very important to treat HPV properly, following all the recommendations of traditional medicine.
Drug therapy
It is not possible to completely cure the papilloma virus in a short time. To solve the problem, it is important to use antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs that prevent the spread of the disease and the malignancy of the formed formations. All drugs in the form of tablets, injections or suppositories are prescribed to patients after diagnosis.
Immunostimulants, antivirals, homeopathy, tumor killers and cytotoxic drugs are used to treat papillomavirus. The first 3 groups of drugs can take different forms (tablets, injections, etc. ) and are used to combat the cause of the disease, and the last 2 groups are used to gradually remove the formed formations.
The purpose of the use of immunostimulants is to strengthen and activate the protective functions in the body, to promote the synthesis of antibodies that will fight viruses and infections. If you use immunostimulants in combination with antiviral drugs, then the effect of the latter will be many times higher.
How effective the immunomodulators used in the treatment of HPV will be will depend on the individual reactions of the patient's body and the complex of treatments of which they are an integral part. But in most cases, with a pronounced papillomavirus clinic and the use of immunomodulators, the disease becomes regressive and may even disappear completely.| Active ingredient | Pharmaceutical Group |

Removal of papillomas by surgical methods
Can I resort to deletion
Some papillomas that appear on the body do not cause any discomfort to a person, while others are able to grow, creating both cosmetic defects and physical discomfort. In case of discomfort from the papilloma, it is always removed, but whether it is worth removing the formations, if their appearance does not cause discomfort, you need to understand each case.
Burning with liquid nitrogen
The most acceptable way to remove papillomas today is to burn them with liquid nitrogen or cryodestruction. The technique can be performed using a hardware method using a cryoprobe or manually, which is most often practiced in beauty salons.
Special equipment is required to use the hardware cryodestruction technique.
Cryodestruction is performed in the following stages:
- In the preparatory stage, for patients with a low level of pain threshold or with a large area of papilloma growth, the area of nitrogen exposure is anesthetized with local anesthetic solutions. In other cases, patients are advised to take soothing oral pain 1 hour before the procedure.
- At the stage of direct freezing or cryodestruction, liquid nitrogen is applied to the papilloma area. At the same time, the validity period for 1 point is only a few seconds, so in 5 minutes you can freeze up to 40 papillomas on the body. Prior to cryodestruction, the patient was warned of possible numbness at the site of nitrogen application during freezing.
- At the last stage, the area of treatment of the skin with liquid nitrogen is disinfected with disinfectants.
The need for cryodestruction in each case is determined by the attending physician. If the patient is at risk of degeneration of the papilloma into a malignancy, removal should be performed. The factors that influence the need for cryodestruction are:
- mechanical damage to the neoplasm;
- reduced level of the patient's immunity;
- use of oral contraceptives;
- bad habits of the patient;
- localization of growths in places that are regularly injured in the process of life.
Cryodestruction is also indicated in case of aesthetic and physical discomfort of the patient from the presence of papilloma on the body.
The main contraindications for the use of the method of cryodestruction are acute infections in the patient's body, inflammatory processes in the internal organs, atypical types of neoplasms, pathological cold intolerance. Possible complications after removal of warts with liquid nitrogen may be scarring and tissue pigmentation at the site of application of the cryoprobe.
Ointments and lotions
In pharmacies today you can buy many special lotions and ointments to remove papillomas on the most delicate areas of the skin.
Ointments should be used to cauterize education only with complex virus therapy, which should be performed using tablet immunomodulators and antiviral agents.
Multivitamins, which will improve the condition of the immune system and its readiness to produce protective antibodies against the virus, in this case will not affect.
The most affordable ointment that can beat papilloma is an ointment that contains salicylic acid, which has keralotic, bactericidal and restorative effects on the affected tissue. The agent is applied topically to the affected area without affecting healthy surrounding tissues that can be used to burn with it.
In every pharmacy you can find ready-made solutions for papilloma removal. With the help of such solutions it will be necessary to make lotions, which will lead to the death of pathogenic microflora in the skin and eliminate papilloma.
Surgical method
Surgical removal of growths refers to the physical removal of papillomas with a scalpel.
Removal surgery is indicated by doctors if the size of the tumor exceeds 3 centimeters in diameter.
When performing the manipulation, the surgeon first disinfects the area around the growth and the growth itself with the help of disinfectants, then performs the manipulations with local anesthesia and proceeds to the direct excision of the tumor. After removal of the papilloma, it should be sent for histological examination to determine the oncological nature in its cells. 2 weeks after the operation, the wound under the removed wart was completely healed and healed.
The main indications for papilloma surgery are:
- large formations, their deep and flat views;
- the need for urgent elimination of papilloma;
- papilloma malignancy;
- inadmissibility of other methods to abolish education.
The main advantages of the classic excision of papillomas are complete elimination of the problem in 1 operation, low probability of recurrence in this case, safety of the manipulation, lack of a large list of contraindications for the procedure and a price acceptable for most patients.
Disadvantages of surgical removal of papillomas include the appearance of a scar at the incision site, and sometimes a keloid scar, a long period of post-surgical rehabilitation, refusal of exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the invasiveness of the procedure. Complications of surgery in the form of redness, itching, scarring at the incision site and fever may also occur rarely.Laser Removal
The gold standard of modern medicine in the removal of tumors is represented by laser removal of papillomas. Until recently, the removal of papillomas left scars, but today the laser technique allows you to preserve the beauty of the skin without visible changes.
The basis of laser therapy for papillomas is evaporation, ie the ability of the beam to cauterize the tissue and evaporate the life-giving moisture from its surface. The devices allow you to dose the duration and intensity of radiation exposure to the skin, depending on the nature of the tumor.
The laser removal procedure itself takes place in several stages:
- first, the doctor performs a dermatoscopy and determines the type of laser that will be used;
- the site of exposure is treated with local anesthetics; The
- laser removal session lasts a few minutes;
- when the procedure is completed, the exposure site is disinfected and a sterile dressing is applied to it if contact with clothing in this area is possible;
- The out-of-clinic patient provides wound rehabilitation care.
After laser removal of papillomas, patients are forbidden to sunbathe, visit swimming pools and spas, bathe or use any cosmetics in the area of scars.
These restrictions are temporary and are agreed by the specialist and the patient before leaving the hospital.
Laser removal has a number of contraindications, relative and absolute, defined in each case. Most often the technique is not intended for diabetes mellitus, the presence of herpes, fever, influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, diseases of the hematopoietic organs.
Traditional methods
Herbs
From ancient times, healers have destroyed all manifestations of papillomatosis with the help of various herbal infusions. Many recipes have survived to this day because they are astounding in their effectiveness and lack of negative effects on the body.
A popular folk remedy for HPV is wormwood tincture. With its help you can get rid of formations all over the body. The most important thing is to know exactly when and how to collect the herb for the medicine.
Wormwood must be harvested in a certain way. The most useful in this herb are the leaves and flowers, but the thick stem is not suitable for tincture. Less commonly, for medical purposes, it is recommended to remove the wormwood root from the ground. All collected plant parts are washed and exposed on a flat surface for drying. During the drying process, the grass should be turned periodically so that it does not dry out. The finished dried herb is stored in a dry glass jar with a tight lid.
The prepared tincture against wormwood papillomas will not only get rid of this problem, but will also eliminate the pathogenic microflora and will have a beneficial effect on the human stomach.
The course of tincture in papillomatosis is at least 2 weeks, after which there is an interruption of treatment. Each of the possible tinctures is taken orally 5 drops up to 6 times a day.
Wormwood tincture can be prepared in oil, alcohol or cognac. For the oil tincture you need 25 grams of wormwood and 0. 5 cups of olive oil. The seeds are crushed in a coffee grinder and placed in a glass jar scalded with boiling water. Top the seeds with olive oil, mix everything and cover with a tight lid. The mixture is infused for three days in a cool place, filtered and ready for use.
Alcoholic tincture is prepared from 100 grams of wormwood powder on the basis of vegetable leaves, crushed in a blender and 0, 5 liters of vodka. Everything is mixed and poured into a glass for 10-14 days, then filtered and used as directed. The tincture should be stored in the refrigerator.
To prepare wormwood tincture on cognac, you will need 50 grams of chopped vegetable root and a glass of cognac. The ingredients are mixed and sent to a water bath to evaporate for 30 minutes. The product is then filtered and sent to a dark place for 5 days.
Also for the treatment of papillomas, you can prepare an herbal infusion for which horsetail, lemon balm, dandelion roots, plantain and nettle are mixed in equal proportions (1 teaspoon). The mixture is crushed and then 3 tablespoons of herbs are poured a liter of boiling water and boil for 10 minutes on low heat. Once the infusion is removed from the heat, it should be insisted for several hours.
The finished tincture is used before meals for ¼ cup for 7 days. The tool strengthens the immune system, which in turn promotes the self-absorption of papillomas.
Soda for treatment
Baking soda has long been used to treat many skin problems at home, including papillomas. Characteristic of soda is its ability to alkalize an acidic environment, which provokes the strengthening of immunity, elimination of toxins, creates unfavorable conditions for bacteria and pathogenic microbes. As a result, viruses in the body stop multiplying and die. The antiseptic and disinfectant effect of soda is also known, which is also useful in the treatment of papillomas. Soda is able to soften tissues, eliminate the symptoms of the virus and its manifestation - education. Soda for the treatment of HPV is used internally, in the form of inhalations and topical lotions.
To prevent tumor malignancy and tumor degeneration in cancer, some traditional healers suggest drinking a solution of soda in milk. It is prepared from 1 cup of warm boiled milk and a teaspoon of baking soda. The solution is used three times a day, with each subsequent intake the mass of soda increases slightly until its concentration in milk reaches 1 tbsp. However, drinking soda solution is not allowed for those who have pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Before using this recipe, it is best to consult a doctor.
Inhalation with baking soda is a more gentle immunostimulating technique. To inhale, boil 1 liter of water, add 3 teaspoons of baking soda to boiling water, stir, bend over the pan, put a towel on your head to prevent steam leakage and inhale the soda vapor until the water cools. Inhalations are performed several times a day for 5 days.
Laundry soap
Laundry soap acts on the skin in a drying way - it extracts moisture from them, leads to drying and gradual cell death. This property is very useful in removing papillomas at home. It is the moisture inside the cells of the neoplasm that contributes to its vital activity, and if it stops flowing, the wart will dry out and disappear.
The most common method of treating papillomas with laundry soap is night application to the area of the tumor. After bathing, the papilloma area is moistened and rubbed thoroughly with laundry soap without damaging the buildup.
After applying a thick layer of soap, you have to wait until it dries and you can go to bed. In the morning the soap is washed with plain water, and in the evening the procedure is repeated.
Specificity of treatment in women
Defeat of internal and external genitalia
In modern medicine, the treatment of papillomatosis in women is performed by various methods, but it is still impossible to completely eliminate HPV from the body. Therefore, each treatment is aimed at the individual elimination of the clinical signs of the disease.
There are many similarities in the treatment of HPV in women's internal and external genitalia. The only difference is that when tumors of the external genitalia are found, specialists can prescribe immunomodulatory agents in one direction, and with HPV of the internal genital organs (mucous membranes) stronger drugs are used that prevent the development of oncopathology.The treatment of genital papillomatosis in women can be done by destructive and therapeutic methods. The required method must be chosen by a specialist in each case.
Intraductal papillomas
Due to the fact that intraductal papillomas are classified by experts as precancerous conditions of the mammary glands, a characteristic of their treatment is the use of exclusively surgical methods. In the case of papillary cystadenoma, surgeons perform a sectoral resection of the mammary glands while removing tissue with modified ducts. Such an operation is performed through a periareolar incision, which allows in the future to maintain both the shape and size of the mammary gland without the use of mammoplasty.
If a woman is diagnosed with intraductal papillary cancer, then radical mastectomy is used as a treatment.
To prevent breast cancer, doctors recommend regular mammological examinations, treatment of mastopathy in the early stages, pay close attention to dyshormonal and inflammatory pathologies in the female genital area.
Treatment for men
The treatment of HPV with manifestations on the male genital organs is performed with drugs and surgical means. Drug therapy in this case is designed to suppress the virus, put it in an anabiotic state and help strengthen the immune system.
Even small papillomas on the male genitalia do not disappear on their own, so it is common to remove them surgically:
- by electrocoagulation using electric current;
- by freezing with liquid nitrogen - cryodestruction;
- using a laser;
- by the method of radiosurgery - non-contact method based on exposure to radio waves with a certain frequency;
- by the method of cauterization with special chemical solutions;
- conventional surgical excision with a scalpel;
- using ointments that can remove buildup.
The method of removing papillomas on the male genitals is chosen individually, depending on the characteristics of the course of infection. All of the above methods of destruction are recognized by doctors as reliable and can be performed without the use of general anesthesia.
What to do if the papilloma is damaged
In case of damage to the surface of the papilloma, an inflammatory process may begin in the affected tissues. Externally, this will manifest itself in a change in the color of the accumulation, swelling, redness, burning and itching of the formation. Ihor, mixed with pus or serous fluid with an unpleasant odor, begins to leak from the wound. If the state of immunity is in a satisfactory state, soon the place of the tear will dry up and no deviations will be seen. Otherwise, there is a risk of malignancy.
Rough trauma (burns, scratches, scratches) can provoke the spread of HPV in neighboring tissues and the growth of new growths. Such a process has an even greater predisposition to oncological degeneration.
If the papilloma is nevertheless injured, it is necessary to quickly place a sterile swab of cotton bandage or cotton wool, which has previously been moistened in a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide, and to maintain this application for at least 10-15 minutes. After stopping the blood, the wound is treated with alcohol to disinfect the skin surface and prevent infection and fungus from entering the wound. In the absence of alcohol, disinfection is performed with the help of iodine or brilliant green, although these means in the future will interfere with the monitoring of the condition of the wound.
In case of significant bleeding due to papilloma damage, angioma trauma is diagnosed - proliferation of benign blood vessels. Angioma damage is not dangerous; as a result of such pathology oncology does not develop.
Where to go in case of illness
If you find various skin growths in the first stage, you should visit a dermatologist. This doctor will make the necessary diagnosis, determine the type of virus and determine the patient's next steps.
Most dermatologists are of the opinion that the earlier the papilloma is removed, the lower the risk of developing dangerous consequences, but everything is individual. The dermatologist will tell the patient which specialist will need to perform the removal and which technique is better to choose in this particular case. The doctor will determine the further treatment regimen, after which it will be possible to go for a consultation with the surgeon.
If genital papillomas occur, you should seek the advice of a dermatologist. If the formations are localized in the anus, the proctologist will deal with the treatment of such pathology. In case of papillomas on the mucous membranes of the ENT organs or oral cavity, the patient is referred to an otolaryngologist. Genital papillomas in men are treated by a urologist or dermatovenerologist, and in women the gynecologist deals with these problems.
