Treatment of papilloma virus is a complex technique of eliminating the symptoms of the infection, its causes, through surgical and therapeutic methods. Benign neoplasms - papillomas - can occur in different parts of the body or in the mucous membranes. Most often, such formations are harmless, but there are situations when their removal is necessary to prevent degeneration of the formation in an oncological tumor. This is why it is very important to treat HPV correctly, adhering to 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 formations formed. All medications in the form of tablets, injections or suppositories are prescribed to patients after diagnosis.
For the treatment of papillomavirus, drugs from groups of immunostimulants, antiviral agents, homeopathy, tumor-killing drugs and cytotoxic drugs are used. The first 3 groups of medicines can take different forms (tablets, injections and others) and are used to fight the cause of the disease and the last 2 groups are used to gradually remove the formed formations.
The purpose of using immunostimulants is to strengthen and activate the protective functions in the body, promoting 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 treatment of which they are a 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 go for deletion
Some papillomas that appear on the body do not cause any discomfort to one person, while others are capable of growing, creating cosmetic defects and physical discomfort. In case of papilloma concern, it is always removed, but is it worth removing the formations, if their appearance does not bring any concern, you should understand each case.
Cauterization with liquid nitrogen
The most acceptable way to eliminate papillomas today is by burning them with liquid nitrogen or cryodestruction. The technique can be performed using a hardware method using a cryoprob or manually, which is most often practiced in cosmetology rooms.
To use hardware cryodestruction technique, special equipment is required.
Cryodestruction is performed in the following stages:
- In the preparatory phase, for patients with a low level of pain threshold or with a large papilloma growth area, the nitrogen exposure area is anesthetized with local anesthetic solutions. In other cases, patients are advised to take any oral pain reliever 1 hour before the procedure.
- In the phase of direct freezing or cryodestruction, liquid nitrogen is applied to the papilloma area. In this case, the validity period for 1 point is only a few seconds, so in 5 minutes you can lift up to 40 papillomas in the body. Prior to cryosurgery, the patient is warned of a tingling sensation at the site of nitrogen application at the time of freezing.
- In the last stage, the skin treatment area with liquid nitrogen is disinfected with disinfectant.
The need for cryodestruction in each case is determined by the attending physician. If the patient has a risk of papilloma degeneration into a malignant formation, removal should be done. Factors influencing the need for cryodestruction are:
- mechanical damage to the neoplasm;
- decreased patient's level of immunity;
- use of oral contraceptives;
- patient's bad habits;
- localization of growths in places that are regularly injured during the process of life.
Cryodestruction is also indicated for the aesthetic and physical discomfort of the patient from the presence of papilloma in the body.
The main contraindications to the use of cryodestruction method are acute infections in the patient's body, inflammatory processes in 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 cryoprobe.
Ointments and lotions
In pharmacies today you can buy many special lotions and oils to remove papillomas in the most delicate areas of the skin.
it is necessary to use education cauterization oils only with complex virus therapy, which should be performed with the help of tablet immunomodulators and antiviral agents.
Multivitamins, which will improve the state of the immune system and its readiness to produce antibodies against the virus, will not interfere in this case.
The most accessible ointment that can defeat papilloma is an ointment containing salicylic acid, which has keralotic, bactericidal and regenerative effects on the affected tissue. The agent is applied in drops on the affected area, without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues, which can be used to burn with it.
At any pharmacy you can also find ready-made solutions for removing papillomas. 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 area and the elimination of papilloma.
Surgical method
Surgical removal of growths refers to the physical removal of scalp papillomas.
Removal surgery is indicated by doctors if the tumor size 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 manipulations with local anesthesia and proceeds with direct incision of the neoplasm. Once the papilloma is removed, it should be sent for histological examination to determine the oncological nature in its cells. 2 weeks after surgery, the wound under the removed wart is tightened and completely healed.
The main indications for papilloma surgery are:
- large formations, their deep and flat views;
- the need for urgent elimination of the papilloma;
- malignant papilloma;
- inadmissibility of other methods of removing education.
The main advantages of classic papilloma incision are complete elimination of the problem in 1 operation, low probability of recurrence in this case, safety of manipulation, lack of a large list of contraindications to the procedure and an acceptable price for mostof patients.
Among the disadvantages of surgical removal of papillomas may be the appearance of a scar at the incision site, and sometimes a keloid scar, a long period of post-surgical rehabilitation, rejection from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and invasiveness of the procedure. Also, complications of surgery in the form of redness, itching, scarring at the incision site and an increase in body temperature can rarely occur.
Laser removal
The gold standard of modern medicine in the removal of neoplasms is represented by laser removal of papillomas. Until recently, papilloma removal left behind scars, but today laser technique allows you to preserve the beauty of the skin without noticeable changes.
The basis of laser therapy for papillomas is evaporation, that is, the ability of the beam to cauterize tissue and to evaporate 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 neoplasm.
The laser removal procedure itself takes place in several stages:
- the doctor first performs a dermatoscopy and determines the type of laser to be used;
- the site of exposure is treated with local anesthetics;
- laser removal session lasts several minutes;
- when the procedure is over, the site of exposure is disinfected and a sterile bandage is placed over it, if contact with clothing in this area is possible;
- outpatient patient provides wound rehabilitation care.
After laser removal of papillomas, patients are forbidden to sunbathe, visit swimming pools and spas, bathe or use any cosmetic products in the scar area.
These restrictions are temporary and are negotiated by the specialist and the patient before they leave 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
Plants
Since ancient times, using various herbal infusions, healers have destroyed all manifestations of papillomatosis. Many recipes have survived to the present day, as they are impressive 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 surface. The most important thing is to know exactly when and how to harvest 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 stalk is not suitable for tincture. Rarely, for medicinal purposes, it is advisable to remove the wormwood root from the ground. All parts of harvested plants are washed and placed 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 plant is stored in a dry glass jar with a tight lid.
The tincture prepared against wormwood papillomas will not only get rid of this problem, but also eliminate the pathogenic microflora, and will also have a beneficial effect on the human stomach.
The course of taking the tincture for papillomatosis is at least 2 weeks, after which there is a cessation 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 oil tincture, you will need 25 grams of wormwood seeds and 0, 5 cups of olive oil. The seeds are crushed in a coffee grinder and placed in a burnt glass container with boiling water. The seeds are poured on top with olive oil, everything is mixed and covered with a tight lid. The mixture is put for three days in a cool place, filtered and ready for use.
Alcohol tincture is prepared from 100 grams of wormwood powder based on the leaves of crushed plants in a blender and 0. 5 liters of vodka. Everything is mixed and put in the glass for 10-14 days, then filtered and used according to instructions. The tincture should be stored in the refrigerator.
To prepare a wormwood tincture in cognac, you will need 50 grams of chopped plant roots and a glass of cognac. The ingredients are mixed and sent to a water bath for evaporation for 30 minutes. After that, the product is 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 each). The mixture is crushed, and then 3 tablespoons of herb are poured with a liter of boiling water and all this is boiled for 10 minutes on low heat. Once the infusion is removed from the heat, it should be insisted for several hours.
Ready-made tincture is used before meals for ¼ glass for 7 days. The tool strengthens the immune system, which, in turn, promotes self-absorption of papillomas.
Healing soda
Baking soda has long been used to treat many skin problems at home, including papillomas. A feature of soda is its ability to alkalize an acidic environment, which provokes strengthening of immunity, elimination of toxins, creates unfavorable conditions for pathogenic bacteria and microbes. As a result, the 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 inside, in the form of inhalations and local lotions.
To prevent tumor malignancy and neoplasm degeneration into carcinogens, some traditional healers suggest drinking a soda solution in milk. It is prepared from 1 cup of warm boiled milk and oon teaspoon of baking soda. A solution is used three times a day, at each subsequent intake, the mass fraction of soda increases slightly until its concentration in milk reaches 1 tablespoon. However, drinking milk and soda solution is not allowed for those who have gastrointestinal tract pathology.
Before using this recipe, it is best to consult a doctor.
Soda-based inhalation is a milder immunostimulatory technique. For inhalation, boil 1 liter of water, add 3 teaspoons of baking soda to boiling water, stir, bend over pan, place a towel on your head to prevent steam from escaping and breathe in soda vapor until water cools. Inhalations are performed several times a day for 5 days.
Laundry soap
Cloth soap acts on the skin in a drying way - it removes moisture from them, leading to drying and gradual cell death. This property is very useful when removing papillomas at home. Moisture is the moisture inside the neoplasm cells that contributes to its vital activity, and if it stops leaking, the wart will dry out and disappear.
The most common method of treating papillomas with laundry soap is overnight application to the neoplasm area. After taking a bath, the area with papillomas is wetted and rubbed abundantly with laundry soap without damaging the collection.
After applying a thick layer of soap, you should 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.
Specification of treatment for women
Lesion of internal and external genitalia
In modern medicine, the therapy of papillomatosis in women is performed according to different methods, but it is still impossible to completely eliminate HPV from the body. Therefore, each treatment aims at the individual elimination of clinical signs of the disease.
There are many similarities in the treatment of HPV of the internal and external genitalia of women. The only difference is that when neoplasms are detected in the external genitalia, specialists can prescribe one-way immunomodulatory agents, and with HPV in the internal genital organs (mucosa), stronger drugs are used to prevent the development of oncopathology.
Treatment of genital papillomatosis in women can be carried out by destructive and therapeutic methods. The necessary method should be chosen by a specialist in each specific case.
Intraductal papillomas
Due to the fact that intraductal papillomas are classified by experts as a precancerous condition of the mammary glands, a feature of their treatment is the use of exclusively surgical methods. In the case of papillary cystadenoma, surgeons perform a sectional removal 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 preserve 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 treatment.
To prevent oncology of the mammary gland, doctors recommend that they undergo regular mammological examinations, treat mastopathy in the early stages, and pay close attention to dichormonal and inflammatory pathologies in the female genital area.
Treatment for men
Treatment of HPV with manifestations in the male genitals is performed with medication and surgical instruments. 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 genitals do not go away on their own, so it is customary to remove them surgically:
- by electrocoagulation using electric current;
- freezing with liquid nitrogen - cryodestruction;
- using a laser;
- with the radiosurgery method - a contactless method based on exposure to radio waves with a certain frequency;
- by the method of cauterization with special chemical solutions;
- conventional surgical incision with scalpel;
- using oils that can remove clumps.
The method of removing papillomas in the male genitals is chosen individually, depending on the characteristics of the course of the 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 can start in the affected tissues. From the outside appearance, this will appear in a change in the color of the accumulation, swelling, redness, burning and itching of the formation. An ikor, mixed with pus or serous fluid with an unpleasant odor, begins to drain from the wound. If the state of immunity is in a satisfactory state, soon the tear site will dry out and no deviations will be seen. However, otherwise there is a risk of a malignant tumor.
Gross trauma (burning, itching, scratching) can provoke the spread of HPV to adjacent tissues and the growth of new lesions. Such a process has an even greater predisposition to oncological degeneration.
If the papilloma is damaged, it is necessary to quickly place a sterile swab of cotton bandage or wool, which was previously soaked in a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide, and keep this application for at least10-15 minutes. After the blood stops, 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 using iodine or brilliant green, although these funds will in the future interfere with monitoring the condition of the wound.
In case of significant bleeding due to papilloma damage, trauma to the angioma is diagnosed - the spread of blood vessels with a benign character. Angioma damage is not dangerous; as a result of such pathology, oncology does not develop.
Where to go in case of illness
If in the first stage you find different formations on the skin, you should see a dermatologist. This doctor will perform the necessary diagnosis, determine the type of virus, and determine the patient's further actions.
Most often, 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 for which specialist the removal will need to be performed and which technique in this particular case is best preferred. The doctor will also determine the further treatment regimen, after which it will already be possible to go for a consultation with the surgeon.
If papillomas occur in the genital area, you should seek the advice of a dermatovenerologist. If the formations are localized in the anus, the proctologist will deal with the treatment of such a pathology. In case of papillomas in the mucosa of 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 a gynecologist deals with these problems.
