Human papilloma, treatment and prevention

doctors prescribe treatment for human papilloma

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viruses in the world. It infects the skin and causes growths on it. Skin lesions can be spiky, flat, or domed, protruding from the surface, or ingrown into the skin.

HPV is also called wart virus. Wart growths can be single or multiple, like cauliflower. They can affect any part of the body, including the genitals (pointed papillomas). Certain types of infection, such as human papillomavirus 16, can lead to the development of cancer, in particular cervical cancer.

Human papilloma can be present in the body for years and not cause any external symptoms. Having appeared on the surface of the skin, papillomas can disappear by themselves, without any treatment and pain, however, this does not happen instantly, but within, for example, six months.

Human papilloma, disease prevention

Warts are contagious, they are transmitted through contact with infected skin, papillomas in intimate places are sexually transmitted. The risk of passing the infection to a sexual partner can be reduced by using a condom. However, this is not 100% protection, since transmission of the disease can occur when unprotected skin areas are in contact. During periods of papillomavirus activity, it is better to refuse sexual intercourse altogether. The partner must be surely informed about the presence of HPV.

Papillomas on other areas of the skin, for example, on the hands and soles, can also be transmitted by contact: by shaking hands, touching the infected handrails of the simulator, walking barefoot in showers, using someone else's towel, linen, cosmetics. In these cases, the prevention of the disease can be the observance of personal hygiene.

Sometimes the human papillomavirus is re-active. In some people, these are rare and isolated cases, while others suffer from multiple papillomas again and again. It depends on the nature of the virus and the state of the human body. Weak immunity, hormonal problems, stress and an excessive lifestyle with bad habits contribute to the increased activity of the virus.

To prevent repeated outbreaks of papillomavirus, the immune system should be strengthened. This requires proper nutrition, exercise, good sleep, refusal from alcohol and tobacco smoking, control of stressful situations. Taking care of the health of the body will allow you to avoid relapses and, over time, completely cope with papillomas.

How to treat papillomas

Medicines for the destruction of papillomavirus have not yet been found. However, the human papilloma in most cases is removed from the body and without treatment, by the efforts of the immune system. Although the human papillomavirus itself cannot be cured by drugs, warty formations that arise as a consequence of infection are treatable and quite effective. Removal of papillomas may be required many times, since if HPV remains in the body, they will appear again and again.

There are various medical and traditional methods of treating papillomas. For example, removing the affected skin layers with salicylic acid or cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen). Skin may change color and texture for a short time after exposure to nitrogen, but it recovers quickly. One of the ways to combat papillomas is immunotherapy, that is, strengthening the body's protective ability. With this method of treatment, antibodies are injected into the body (vaccination), which destroy the virus

Acid cauterization and surgical removal with a laser or scalpel are also practiced. Pointed papillomas by the listed methods are removed in medical institutions during several repetitive procedures. It should also be noted that medical methods of treating papillomas are much more effective than traditional ones.

They resort to laser surgery when other methods have not helped to solve the problem, or it is necessary to get rid of papilloma quickly. Laser therapy can be applied to any part of the body, with its help it is possible to remove papillomas in intimate places. The laser acts selectively without damaging healthy skin or creating wounds. Slight redness or hyperpigmentation may occur, but this quickly resolves and the skin heals. Depending on the nature and size of the neoplasm, 1 to 3 laser procedures may be required.

After successful treatment, you should visit a doctor annually for preventive examinations. In accessible places, inspection for the presence of characteristic growths is carried out independently. It is also recommended to take preventive measures against recurrence of the disease, to strengthen the immune system, physical endurance and stress resistance.
