How to Remove Papillomas - Folk Home Remedies, Laser, Surgery

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

Occurrence causes

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

The virus spreads in the following ways:

• Sexual. . . Through intercourse, genital warts appear on the body.
• during childbirth. . . When infected during childbirth, papillomas and warts usually appear several months after birth.
• At home. . . The infection occurs at home, in public places and in transport.
• under certainprocedures. . . For example, you can "catch" HPV during waxing or shaving.

It is true that despite active spread, in 90% of cases the body can independently deal with HPV.

Why are papillomas dangerous?

The small papillomas that appear on the human body don't always attract attention, but even they can be dangerous.

Therefore, papillomas can cause 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);
• Impotence;
• Bowen's Disease;
• Injuries of the mucous membranes.

Growths can cause psychological and aesthetic problems, but their main danger is human health problems (even precancerous and cancerous conditions).

Diagnosis

HPV diagnosis includes at least 7 procedures:

1. clinical examination. . . An examination specialist identifies and examines all growths on the patient's body. If anogenital warts are found, men can undergo a ureteroscopy procedure and women visit a gynecologist to examine the cervix.
2. Colposcopy. . . Examination of the female genitals using a special device - a colposcope.
3. Histological examination. . . Explore the deep Malpighian layer and coilocyte development.
4. cytological examination. . . The classification is carried out according to the PAP - smear test, which includes 5 lessons. I - the cytological picture is normal, V - a large number of atypical cells.
5. digene test(screening test)This procedure allows you to quickly identify high concentrations of the virus. This test is highly accurate.
6. PCR typing. . . This procedure allows you to identify individual types of viruses. However, the method has a disadvantage: 20% of PCR typing gives a false result (since the infection is short-lived).
7. PCR(orpolymerase chain reaction)Allows to identify not only HPV, but also other sexually transmitted diseases.

Treatment

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

traditional treatment

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 turns out that HPV lives in the body for up to 30 years, without manifesting itself in the skin.

Therapy with the use of immunomodulators and antivirals is rarely prescribed. Doctors prescribe these medications for highly oncogenic virus types.

Official medicine offers the following methods for removing injuries:

1. surgical removal. . . This is an extreme measure against papillomas and warts. Usually used when there is a lot of buildup. Removal requires preliminary patient preparation, proper physician qualifications, and the use of local anesthesia.

   Upon completion of the operation, a suture is applied to connect the tissues. The skin heals within 3-4 weeks, however a scar/scar may remain.

2. electrocoagulation. . . Includes exposure to electrical shock at the injury site. It is necessary to "cauterize" the base of the affected area. The main advantage of this procedure is the precise sealing of the vessels, practically without blood. The skin is restored in 7 to 10 days with minimal risk of scarring.
3. Laser removal (laser coagulation). . . Provides exposure to a focused laser beam. The procedure is performed without anesthesia and takes only a few minutes, leaving rough scabs (they fall off quickly and leave no traces).

   Laser coagulation has a minimal risk of scarring and allows you to quickly eliminate the accumulation of warts or warts. The only disadvantage of the operation is the high cost.

4. Cryodestruction (burning with nitrogen). . . To perform the procedure, you will need a drop of liquid nitrogen which, upon reaching the wart, will instantly destroy its structure. Allows you to get rid of the build-up in 7 to 10 days.

   Nitrogen cauterization is considered an effective and affordable method, however, if the area is large, several sessions may be necessary. The technique is actively used in private and public clinics, aesthetic and health centers. The only downside is the risk of relapse if the specialist does not burn the tumor to the end.


5. radiosurgery. . . It is carried out with special equipment. The method appeared relatively recently, it allows to remove all growths quickly and painlessly. But, until now, radiosurgery is inaccessible due to its high cost.
6. chemical destruction. . . During execution, "vigorous" chemicals are used. substances and acids. These compounds are applied to condylomas, papillomas or warts without special equipment. This is an inexpensive but relatively effective method.

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

drug treatment

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

It is important to remember that you cannot cut harmless-looking warts yourself, as the causes of their occurrence are unknown. It is even possible that this will accelerate their growth and increase the risk of HPV degeneration in cancer tumors. When papillomas appear on mucosal surfaces (eyes, nose, or throat), study of the cause and treatment should be carried out under the supervision of the treating physician.

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

1. Scotch tape. . . The removal of warts can be carried out with adhesive tapes purchased at the pharmacy and impregnated with a special composition. This composition has a destructive effect on the papilloma for a while, then comes off with duct tape. To reduce pain, the strips are usually moistened with warm water before being pulled off.
2. freezing- This is one of the most common procedures for eliminating papillomas. The use of freezers, as a rule, is indicated for the elimination of neoplasms located in the intimate area or elsewhere, with treatment being possible without anesthesia. You can buy a special medication yourself at a pharmacy, and the procedure requires strict adherence to the instructions. After a week of therapy, there will be no traces of papillomas.
3. Pharmacy preparation with phenol, intended for the treatment of warts and papillomas. It is highly effective - skin neoplasms are eliminated with just one application, but the procedure is accompanied by pain, as there is a wound at the papilloma site that takes a long time to heal.
4. Gel with celandine extract, whose effectiveness is confirmed by the Ministry of Health. It differs in the absence of pain during destruction.

There are different situations associated with the appearance of growths that require the destruction of neoplasms. 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 papillomas.

The need to consult a specialist is also due to the fact that, when papillomas appear, the independent use of medication carries the risk of developing papillomatous skin defects, from which tumors appear all over the body anywhere. In this case, the treatment will take longer.

folk remedies

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

Efficiency is high in folk remedies that increase the human body's resistance to infections. Some can be taken along with antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.

of vegetable origin

To prevent the subsequent appearance of papillomas, you can use herbal infusions daily. (lemon balm, nettle, banana, mackerel, dill, St. John's wort and others) or juice obtained from red potato tubers.

Of the herbal medicines used to remove neoplasms, celidon is worth mentioning. The use of juice, leaves or infusion from a pharmacy is allowed. Its regular use dries out the papillomas, which simply fall out.

Astrology gives an idea of how to remove papillomas- it presents HPV as a viral disease in the form of skin formations and, regardless of how papillomas appear, it can only be removed with the waning moon. In that case, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system with herbal teas. Complete elimination of growths requires at least a 3-month administration course.

Non-vegetable origin

In addition to using herbal products, the following non-herbal products are also highly effective:

• HPV treatment with an egg- This is one of the most effective and known ways to eliminate the papillomavirus. It consists in the fact that papillomas that have recently appeared on the body are smeared with egg white, and each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one has dried. In a few days, after the protein is very dry, there will simply be no more papillomas. This is a very effective and simple treatment for body neoplasms.
• 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 prohibited to lubricate papillomas located on the eyelids or mucous membranes with this mixture. Instead of this recipe, you can use ammonia, or you can make balls of vinegar and flour (using this tool has the same restrictions).
• castor oilIt is a painless treatment for skin lesions. The oil's effectiveness is due to the presence of acid in its composition, which destroys neoplasms.
• Kerosene and green walnut ointment- used to treat papilloma virus in the form of warts, including genitals. For this, it is necessary to crush young chestnuts, which are filled with kerosene in a proportion of 2 to 1. After infusing the mixture in a dark place for 3 weeks, it can be used to lubricate papillomas. This is a very effective way to eliminate any neoplasms.
• Apple vinegar. . . You need to drip apple cider vinegar onto a clean towel or cotton swab and moisten the papilloma three times a day. After a few days the growth will change color. The course lasts for several weeks, after which the neoplasm will disappear. To make this procedure safer, it is recommended to dilute the vinegar with a little water before treating the affected area.

Even advocates of conservative treatment admit the use of non-drug medications, which they totally reject the possibility of self-medication. In fact, it is quite a controversial question whether it is possible to get rid of HPV using traditional medicine exclusively.

Both non-traditional and drug-based treatments can be successful, but only in the right combination and under the recommendation of a specialist.
