In medicine, this disease is called papillomavirus infection, which is characterized by formations on the body and many unpleasant bulges. Converging in appearance with warts, either broad-based or stalked. As a rule, these are benign growths on the skin, but exceptions are possible, so if the first neoplasms appear, do not delay a visit to the doctor. What is papilloma and how is it treated?
Features and methods of infection
This type of infection differs from other growths in having a rough surface. The color is different: from light, almost white to dark brown. They can appear on different parts of the human body: on the face - in the area around the eyes, more often not on the eyelids, on the neck, under the armpits, on the chest and under it, but the most terrible thing is the appearance on the genitals. The diameter ranges from the size of a millet to 1. 5 cm. Infection occurs with sexual contact, but cases of infection are also possible with surface contact with the patient and not careful observance of elementary rules of hygiene. This disease affects people with immunity, weakened by various diseases, and is provoked by various factors: SARS or influenza, nervous disorders, long-term use of drugs, diseases of the digestive system and others.

How to treat
If you suspect that you are a carrier of a viral infection, immediately seek help from specialists. It is easier to prevent the appearance of new neoplasms than to eliminate those that have already appeared. Using a simple blood test and a swab from the genitals, a specialist will accurately confirm or deny the presence of any disease in your body. The virus has more than 60 strains. But the real danger is only half.
Get rid of pre-existing growths in several ways:
- surgical
- laser
- chemical
- medical
- folk tunes
Now let's take a closer look at each of these methods.
If you are a carrier of uterine papilloma, you cannot do without surgical intervention. The formation affects the mucous membrane of the genitals, the doctor cleans the cavity with hysteroscopy. The operation takes place under general anesthesia. The doctor uses special equipment and cuts off the resulting endometrium, after which an excision is made. The surgical method is not popular in the treatment of affected external areas, since the procedure itself is not comfortable and leaves scars.
Beauty salons use laser treatments. This technology does not cause significant inconvenience and does not require the patient to be hospitalized. This method is used when there is a need to remove growths on the open part of the body. The operation itself is performed without anesthesia. The client lies comfortably on a special chair, and the doctor touches the wart with a special device that emits laser beams. The root of the formation is simultaneously removed and cauterized, eliminating bleeding. This way you can remove one or more deposits at once.
Chemical exposure is carried out in the most extreme cases, when a person is struck by a malicious formation. A drug is administered intravenously to the patient, which affects the entire body of the patient. It is very dangerous as it has many side effects. When neoplasms appear on the cervix, a chemical exposure method is used. With the difference that the drug is not injected into the blood, but applied to a swab and applied to the formation. Note that large doses of this drug are very toxic. This type of treatment is generally not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Doctors also use traditional corrections. But before a definitive diagnosis can be made, the strain and type of virus must be reliably identified. After that, antibacterial and antiviral drugs are prescribed. In addition, immunomodulatory therapy is necessarily used. Only a doctor will prescribe medication, but remember that both partners should be treated at the same time.
Even famous doctors often resort to traditional medicine, and you should not ignore them. You can try to remove papillomas at home. Our grandmothers' first recipe: garlic and celandine. Celandine is bought at the pharmacy, with garlic, I think, it is even easier for every housewife to have it on hand. A few drops of celandine and the juice of one clove of garlic will do. Apply a cotton swab soaked in this composition to an unwanted process every day before bedtime. We advise you to always apply a new composition.
