Human papillomavirus, how is it treated?

If the dermatologist has identified the human papillomavirus in a patient, he will advise you on how to cure it and provide detailed recommendations.

But some naive people try to get rid of their own external manifestations. Traditional prescriptions can and do help, but in some cases delay with qualified assistance can lead to cancer development. And why it happened, now we will find out.

What is this disease

Human papillomavirus or HPV is the collective name for 100 viruses that trigger the appearance of various formations on human skin or mucous membranes. All of 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 discomfort. This is if they are not in a place where they are often injured.
  2. Low oncogenic. If papillomas appear on the body due to the development of viruses of this group, then they must be carefully monitored. In some cases, the formation can degenerate into viciousness. Doctors recommend removing these growths so as not to endanger health. Rebirth can be initiated if treatment is carried out by an unqualified specialist or the growth is injured in any way.
  3. Oncogenic. Most of the formations that appear under the influence of this group of viruses are responsible for 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. But men also often suffer from the virus. They provoke penile cancer.

HPV is also dangerous because there are often no symptoms 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, is it possible to cure the papilloma virus once it has settled in the body? With this problem, you only need to contact the doctor, he will help to solve it.

Maintenance

Everyone experiencing such problems asks the same question - is it possible to recover from the human papillomavirus? There is still no medicine that can help get rid of papilloma forever, and it seems that HPV cannot be cured. But this does not mean that treatment is unnecessary. Doctors know how to help a person's immune system beat the papilloma virus.

For this, special treatment and destructive methods are prescribed to help get rid of external manifestations. How to beat the virus if there is no cure?

Medicines reduce viral activity, and the immune system is already suppressing infection. If the body's defenses are significantly reduced, the doctor also adds immunomodulating drugs, as well as vitamin complexes. The results will depend on how strong a person's immunity is.

Patients often ask whether HPV can only be treated with drugs? It is very rare for growth to disappear after treatment, but this only occurs when the disease is in its early stages and the person's immunity is very strong. In other cases, the disease must be treated with the help of destructive methods.

Removal of the external manifestation, namely the papilloma itself, is done using:

Electrocoagulation - a method for removing papillomas
  • Surgical knife.This method is a bit outdated, but still helps to get rid of large formations. It is also quite effective in cases where other methods cannot be applied. Before removing the human papillomavirus in this way, general anesthesia is usually performed, and all activities are carried out in the operating room.
  • Liquid nitrogen. This method is also called cryodestruction. How to get rid of papillomavirus this way? Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature; when exposed to papillomas, they freeze and fall off after a while. If large lesions need to be removed, scars may remain after the procedure.
  • Electrocoagulator. Formations are affected by high or low frequency currents. In this case, the papilloma is destroyed from the inside and after a while disappears.
  • Radio Knife. Here, radio wave radiation plays a role in education, which is also capable of curing papillomas.
  • Laser. This is the most commonly used method. But is it possible to get rid of growth in this way? If the formation is small, then one procedure will be sufficient to completely remove the external defect. However, if there are more papillomas, the doctor or cosmetologist will advise you to repeat them.

But before getting rid of the papilloma virus, you'll need to do some research.

Examination of patients with HPV

Research and Diagnostics

Before starting diagnostic and laboratory and instrumental studies, the doctor should thoroughly examine the patient, determine how severe it is to the skin and mucous membranes.

The oral cavity was also checked. Papilloma in the mouth is not uncommon. For women, an examination by an obstetrician is necessary to examine the mucous membranes of the genital organs. Apart from that, you still need to:

  • Cytology research. Cancer cells can be found in the earliest stages of degeneration.
  • Determination of viral DNA. Helps determine which group of viruses causes the appearance of papillomas.
  • Histological examination. To do this, take a little education.
  • Inspection of the urethra. Allows you to detect papillomas in the bladder.

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

Traditional medicine

A question that is very often asked is how to recover from human papillomavirus using traditional medicine advice? The doctor firmly answered that before doing self-medication, an examination had to be done first. If during the diagnosis the oncogenic or low oncogenic strain was not identified, then you can try to beat the human papillomavirus using the "grandmother method".

But if the results confirm the worst fears, then there's no need to experiment. Most often, the use of such therapy only worsens the condition. A person turns to a doctor even when degeneration has started or the papilloma has become a malignant tumor. Sometimes patients do not make more doctor appointments and die of oncology.

Treatment of papilloma with a garlic compress

However, let's analyze some recipes

  • Some people believe that garlic can cure human papillomavirus. In addition, it is used both for compresses and inside. One clove of garlic can be sliced ​​or mashed. Apply it for two hours exclusively on the papilloma, without touching any healthy skin areas. Then the compress is removed and washed with warm water. Garlic should not be left on overnight. This can cause burns, either the papilloma or any area of ​​healthy skin. Such damage to a building can trigger its decline.
  • On the Internet you can find many reviews about how people get rid of papillomas with the help of laundry soap or tar soap. But you have to be very careful with this tool. It is important to choose the right soap. These should be sticks made from natural raw materials, without fragrances, bleaches, and preservatives. A soap solution or previously melted soap with the addition of a medicinal herb is applied to the formation in a solid layer. Such compresses are left overnight and treatment is continued until the buildup disappears. It is strictly forbidden to use laundry soap for the treatment of papilloma on the mucous membrane of the genitals in women. Such wax will completely destroy the microflora and can leave burns.
  • Celandine. This medicinal herb is used in its pure form, or rather its juice. They are just smeared with education. Decoctions, oils made from celandine. Lotions are made from broth, sometimes taken by mouth to boost immunity. If anyone in the family died from oncology, then you should immediately go to the doctor with any formations on the skin, and not wait for a fatal result.
