It turns out that the growths on the skin appear in almost every person.But not everyone pays attention to them, connecting the emergence of a spot with a new homeland.
And this is not entirely true.In most cases, these are benign formations.Doctors recommend cleaning them.And the methods of removing papilloma will be told by a dermatologist or venereologist.
The reasons for the appearance of papilloma
The growths on the skin appear under the influence of the human papilloma virus.Under one name hides about 100 strains of viruses that provoke the emergence of the most diverse in the form, color and size of neoplasms.These viruses enter the skin or mucous membranes and remain forever.
At the moment, pharmacists are not able to provide a drug that can relieve this pathogen.But the doctors found ways to combat HPV, which we will talk about a little later.
For a long time, the human protective system is able to inhibit the vital activity of the virus and therefore the first symptoms of the disease appear in a week or even years.It all depends on how severe the immunity of a person is.
If the immune system is able to cope with the virus, then why do papillomas appear?As already stipulated above, the virus remains in the body forever and it is worth weakening the protective system, as it immediately activates and gives rise to growths on the skin.
Immunity weakens for the following reasons:
- Hormonal malfunctions (pregnancy, breastfeeding, taking hormonal drugs).
- The presence of bad habits (drug addiction, smoking, alcoholism).
- Unstable nutrition.
- Exacerbation of chronic or congenital diseases.
- Excess weight.
- Long -term medication.
- Enjoyable sexual intercourse.
- Frequent colds.
If the human body has been influenced by these factors, then neoplasms appear.Doctors recommend removing papillomas, although they do not endanger human life.
Why remove warts and growths
There are several consequences that may occur if papillomas do not begin to treat the emerging papillomas in time.
- Some neoplasms arise under the influence of cancer viruses.Such growths are easily reborn into malignant education, and as a result, cancer develops.
- Usually papillomas appear in places where the skin is in contact with the fabric of clothing.This means that the growth is constantly damaged.A small wound or crack is open a gate for a secondary infection.Damaged papillomas heals poorly, sometimes a scar can form there.In the worst case, suppuration may appear, which is fraught with blood poisoning.
- Often patients turn to the doctor when the disease is very running, then the growths are so large that it is better to choose surgical removal.Doctors choose this method in the most extreme cases.
- The lack of treatment is also dangerous because you can infect relatives and friends.
How the neoplasms are treated
Traditional medicine offers both drug treatment and one of the methods of removal of papilloma.It is desirable that the treatment be complex.This will help reduce the risks of repeated appearance of neoplasms.In some cases, after taking drugs, the growths disappear independently and it is not necessary to select the method of removing papilloma.This can happen in this case:
- The neoplasms are completely fresh (recently appeared).
- Human immunity works well.
Medicines
It was already mentioned above that there is no medication for HPV.But doctors prescribe general antiviral drugs that reduce the activity of pathogen well.And then the matter remains with the immunity of a person.If the protective function of the body is impaired, then the attending physician will advise you to take immunostimulants, immunomodulators and vitamin complexes.
In pharmacies you can find medicines that will contribute to the removal of papilloma.These are ointments, creams, concentrated solutions.They are applied directly to education.It is not worth prescribing such a treatment yourself or others.These means in their composition contain rather aggressive acids or alkalis.
Their use without consultation with a doctor can lead to:
- Damage to papilloma.
- Increase the number of formations.
- Burns of healthy skin areas.
- Roubing damaged areas.
Methods of removal of papilloma
Modern medicine offers several effective ways to remove neoplasms.They are painless and effective.If there are a lot of growths or they are large, then several procedures need to be done, but in the case when papillomas are small and appeared relatively recently, then one visit to the manipulation cabinet will be enough.
Surgery
Removal of papilloma surgicallyIt is chosen as a radical treatment extremely rarely.The procedure is carried out in the operating room under general anesthesia.After surgery, scars usually remain.
An indication for this method of deletion will be:
- Large area of lesions of neoplasms.
- Significant sizes of the growth.
- It is impossible to use other methods.
Compared to surgical intervention, we find out the modern removal of papilloma, we learn below, pass much faster and give good results.
Cryodestruction
As a result of this procedure, papilloma is cauterized with liquid nitrogen.The patient is called this therapy frozen.Under the influence of low temperatures, the neoplasm is destroyed from the inside and after a while disappear.
The procedure is effective, but there are several negative points:
- Even an experienced specialist is difficult to control the depth of influence.Therefore, a burn of healthy skin areas is possible if the substance passes too deep, or you will need to undergo a second procedure.In this case, the low temperature did not affect the entire papilloma, and the areas of infection remained.
- The appearance of scars is possible.
- Pain during the procedure (personal sensitivity to pain).
Laser therapy
This procedure is most popular.The removal of papilloma with a laser occurs very quickly and almost painlessly.If manipulation is carried out in very sensitive areas of the skin, then local anesthesia is used.
The procedure is performed as follows:
- The doctor gradually removes with a laser each layer of affected cells.
- There is no blood, because the beam immediately cauterizes the vessels.
Thus, you can remove absolutely all education and not leave even the slightest infected area.Recovery after the procedure occurs in a week.It is important that scars or scars after laser removal are extremely rare.
Electrocoagulation
This procedure, like the previous one, is very popular.Papillomas are removed under the influence of high -frequency electric current.The procedure is absolutely safe, because it is recommended for children.Small patients are manipulated under general anesthesia.For adults, local anesthesia is used.
Electrocoagulation is removed both large and small formations.At the same time, after removal, the growth can be examined for the presence of cancer changes, since papilloma is not burned, but removed.Also, bleeding during the procedure is absolutely excluded, since all vessels are immediately treated.
The disadvantage of such removal will be the possibility of scars or a repeated occurrence of papilloma.
Radio wave removal
For this procedure, the doctor uses a special knife that creates radio waves.Under their influence, papilloma is removed.Due to the high accuracy of the procedure, healthy tissues are not injured, and therefore there are no burns or other damage.
Relapses after such a procedure is very rare.For pain relief, they offer to use local anesthesia, although patients with a high pain threshold do not experience any unpleasant sensations.
The radio wave method is removed by small neoplasms of a benign nature.Malignant tumors are cleaned in this way.
The better to remove this or that education, of course, the doctor decides, comparing the possible negative consequences and positive results of the procedures.At the same time, he makes the appointment of the procedure only after the results of the tests.
Summing up, we can say that it is necessary to have clean and good skin, you need to monitor the state of your health.After the treatment of a viral papilloma, the doctor can give the following recommendations:
- Time for treatment in time.
- Avoid random sexual relations.
- Change nutrition.
- Get rid of bad habits.
- Go in for sports, but physical activity should be moderate.
- Avoid stressful situations.
