How to get rid of papillomas - folk remedies at home, laser, surgery

papillomaIs a benign neoplasm triggered by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and occurs in various parts of the body: on the neck, under the arms, in the bladder, on the genitals, on the vocal cords, on the eyelids, in the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose.

Cause of occurrence

The natural cause of the formation of unpleasant warts and warts is HPV. This virus is very widespread - occurs in about 60% of the population.

Viruses spread in the following ways:

• Sexual. . . Through intercourse, genital warts appear on the body.
• When giving birth. . . When infected during childbirth, papillomas and warts usually appear several months after birth.
• At home. . . Infection occurs at home, in public places and in transportation.
• Under certainProcedure. . . For example, you can "pick up" HPV during epilation or while shaving.

True, although the spread is active, in 90% of cases, the body is able to cope with HPV independently.

Why are papillomas dangerous?

Small papillomas that appear on the human body do not always attract attention, but can even be dangerous.

So, papillomas can lead to the development of terrible diseases:

• Carcinoma;
• Cervical cancer (cervical cancer);
• cervical dysplasia;
• Oral cancer;
• Throat cancer;
• shortness of breath and signs of asthma (especially in children);
• Inability;
• Bowen's disease;
• Lesions of the mucous membranes.

Growth can cause psychological and aesthetic problems, but the main danger is human health problems (up to precancerous conditions and cancer).

Diagnostic

HPV diagnostics includes at least 7 procedures:

1. Clinical examination. . . A specialist on examination identifies and examines all growths on the patient's body. If anogenital warts have been found, men can be given a ureteroscopy procedure, women are assigned to visit a gynecologist to examine the cervix.
2. Colposcopy. . . Examination of the female genital organs using a special tool - a colposcope.
3. Histological examination. . . Explore the deep zone of the Malpighian layer and koilocyte development.
4. Cytological examination. . . Classification is carried out according to the PAP - smear test, which includes 5 classes. I - normal cytological picture, V - a large number of atypical cells.
5. Digene test(selection test). This procedure allows you to quickly identify an increased concentration of the virus. This test is very accurate.
6. typing PCR. . . This procedure allows you to identify the type of virus individually. However, this method has a drawback: 20% of PCR typings give incorrect results (because the infection is short-lived).
7. PCR(orpolymerase chain reaction). Allows you to identify not only HPV, but also other sexually transmitted diseases.

Treatment

HPV requires a careful and careful approach, and before making a decision about treatment (destruction), the patient must pass the necessary tests. Sometimes it turns out that the patient does not need medical intervention - the papilloma can disappear over time.

Traditional medicine

It is important to understand that there is no way to completely eradicate HPV. All that can be done is to eliminate the manifestations of the disease (in the form of papillomas, warts and other growths). They are the ones that cause cancer and precancerous conditions (not HPV). It happens that HPV lives in the body for up to 30 years, without manifesting itself on the skin.

Therapy with the use of immunomodulators and antiviral drugs is rarely prescribed. Doctors prescribe the drug in cases of highly oncogenic viral strains.

Official medicine offers the following methods for removing the lesion:

1. Lifting operation. . . This is an extreme measure against papillomas and warts. Usually used when there is too much buildup. Removal requires preliminary preparation of the patient, appropriate qualification of the doctor and the use of local anesthesia.

   After the operation is complete, sutures are applied to connect the tissues. The skin heals within 3-4 weeks, but scars/scars may remain.

2. Electrocoagulation. . . This includes exposure to electric shock at the site of injury. It is necessary to "burn" the base of the affected area. The main advantage of this procedure is the accurate sealing of the vessels, practically without blood. The skin is restored in 7-10 days with minimal risk of scar formation.
3. Laser removal (laser coagulation). . . Provides focused laser beam exposure. The procedure is carried out without anesthesia and takes only a few minutes, leaving a rough crust (they fall off quickly and leave no traces).

   Laser coagulation has minimal risk of scar formation and allows you to quickly remove accumulated warts or warts. The only drawback of this operation is the high cost.

4. Cryodestruction (burning with nitrogen). . . To carry out this procedure, you need a drop of liquid nitrogen, which, as soon as it hits the wart, will instantly destroy its structure. Allows you to get rid of buildup in 7-10 days.

   Cauterization with nitrogen is considered an effective and affordable method, however, if the area is large, several sessions may be required. This technique is actively used in private and public clinics, aesthetic and health centers. The only negative is the risk of relapse if the specialist does not burn the growth to the end.


5. Radio Surgery. . . It is carried out using special equipment. This method appeared relatively recently, it allows you to quickly and painlessly remove all growths. But so far, radiosurgery is not accessible because of its high cost.
6. Chemical destruction. . . When performing, "strong" chemicals are used. substances and acids. This compound is applied to condyloma, papilloma or warts without special equipment. This is an inexpensive method, but relatively effective.

Important!During any procedure, there is a risk of damage to adjacent tissues, which threatens to spread the virus.

Drug treatment

Before deciding to start self-medication, the patient should consult a specialist so that he prescribes a suitable drug for home use.

It's important to remember that you can't cut a harmless-looking wart yourself, as the cause of its appearance is unknown. It is even possible that this will accelerate their growth and increase the risk of HPV degeneration into oncological tumors. When papillomas appear on mucosal surfaces (eyes, nose or throat), a study of the causes and treatment should be carried out under the supervision of the attending physician.

There are the following popular ways to get rid of papillomas:

1. duct tape. . . Removal of warts can be carried out using adhesive tape purchased at the pharmacy and impregnated with a special composition. This composition has a deleterious effect on papillomas for some time, then peels off with tape. To reduce pain, the strip is usually moistened with warm water before tearing.
2. Freezing- This is one of the most common procedures for removing papillomas. The use of frozen drugs, as a rule, is indicated for the removal of neoplasms with localization in the intimate area or elsewhere, and such treatment is possible without anesthesia. You can buy special drugs yourself in pharmacies, and the procedure requires strict adherence to the instructions. After a week of therapy, there will be no trace of papilloma.
3. Pharmaceutical preparations with phenol, is intended for the treatment of warts and papillomas. It is very effective - the skin neoplasm will be removed after only one application, but the procedure is accompanied by pain, because the wound remains at the site of the papilloma, which takes time to heal.
4. Gel with celandine extract, whose effectiveness was confirmed by the Ministry of Health. In contrast to the absence of pain during crushing.

There are different situations associated with the appearance of growths and requiring the destruction of the neoplasm. Depending on the location of the papilloma, the urgency of its removal and whether this is the first appearance of HPV, it is possible to use different methods of treating the papilloma.

The need to consult a specialist is also due to the fact that when papillomas appear, independent use of the drug carries the risk of developing skin papilloma defects, as a result of which growths appear all over the body in every place. In this case, their treatment will take longer.

Traditional medicine

Any self-care at home is often accompanied by the use of folk remedies. Along with other methods of therapy, after consulting a doctor, it is possible to use folk remedies. They are especially useful during pregnancy and immunosuppression.

High efficiency in traditional medicine which increases the human body's resistance to infection. Some can be taken at the same time as the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.

Derived from plants

To prevent the appearance of the next papilloma, you can use herbal infusions every day(lemon balm, nettle, plantain, horsetail, dill, St. John's wort and others) or juice obtained from red potato tubers.

Of the herbal remedies used to remove neoplasms, it is worth highlighting celandine. It is allowed to use its juice, leaves or pharmaceutical infusion. Its regular use dries out the papillomas, then they just fall off.

Astrology gives its ideas on how to get rid of papillomas- it presents HPV as a viral disease in the form of skin formations, and regardless of how the papilloma appears, it can only be removed when the moon is waning. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system by using herbal teas. Complete removal of growth requires at least 3 months of administration.

Origin is not a plant

In addition to the use of herbal products, the following non-herbal products are also very effective:

• HPV treatment with eggs- This is one of the most effective and well-known ways to get rid of papillomavirus. It consists in the fact that papillomas that have just appeared on the body are smeared with egg white, and each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one dries. Within a few days, once the protein is very dry, there will be no more papillomas left. This is a fairly effective and simple treatment for neoplasms on the body.
• Alcohol tincture- You need to mix 0. 1 liters of alcohol, 2 grams of boric acid, 2. 5 grams of iodine and the same amount of acetylsalicylic acid. It is forbidden to lubricate papillomas with localization on the eyelids or on the mucous membranes with this mixture. Instead of this recipe, you can use ammonia, or you can make balls of vinegar and flour (these are the same limitations).
• Castor oilIs a painless treatment for skin lesions. The effectiveness of the oil is due to the presence of acids in its composition, which destroy neoplasms.
• Green walnut and kerosene ointment- Used to treat papilloma virus in the form of warts, including genitals. For this purpose, young nuts need to be ground, then filled with kerosene in a ratio of 2 to 1. After instilling the mixture in a dark place for 3 weeks, it can be used to lubricate papillomas. This is a fairly effective way to get rid of any neoplasm.
• apple cider vinegar. . . You need to drip apple cider vinegar on a clean towel or cotton, then wet the papilloma three times a day. After a few days, the growth will change color. The duration of the course is several weeks, after which the neoplasm will disappear. To make the procedure safer, it is recommended that you dilute the vinegar with a small amount of water before treating the affected area.

Even proponents of conservative medicine acknowledge the use of non-drug drugs, completely rejecting the possibility of self-medication. In fact, quite a controversial question is whether it is possible to get rid of HPV using exclusive folk remedies.

Non-traditional treatments and drugs can be successful, but only in the right combination and on the recommendation of a specialist.
