Human papilloma, treatment and prevention

doctors prescribe treatment for human papilloma

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viruses in the world. It infects the skin and causes growths on it. Skin lesions can be sharp, flat or domed, protruding from the surface or ingrown into the skin.

HPV is also called the wart virus. Warts can be single or multiple, such as cauliflower. They can affect any part of the body, including the genitals (pointed papillomas). Some types of infections, such as human papillomavirus 16, can lead to cancer, especially cervical cancer.

Human papilloma can be present in the body for years and do not cause any external symptoms. Appearing on the surface of the skin, papillomas can disappear on their own, without any treatment or pain, but this does not happen immediately, but within, for example, six months.

Human papilloma, disease prevention

Warts are contagious, they are transmitted by contact with infected skin, papillomas in intimate places are sexually transmitted. The risk of transmitting the infection to a sexual partner can be reduced by using a condom. However, this is not 100% protection, as transmission of the disease can occur when unprotected skin areas are in contact. During periods of papillomavirus activity it is better to completely refuse sexual contact. The partner must be informed of the presence of HPV.

Papillomas on other areas of the skin, such as the hands and feet, can also be transmitted through contact: by shaking hands, touching infected railing on the simulator, walking barefoot in the shower, using someone else's towel, bedding or cosmetics. In these cases, the prevention of the disease can be the observance of personal hygiene.

Sometimes the human papillomavirus is reactive. In some people, these are rare and isolated cases, while others suffer from multiple papillomas over and over again. It depends on the nature of the virus and the condition of the human body. Weak immunity, hormonal problems, stress and an excessive lifestyle with bad habits contribute to the increased activity of the virus.

To prevent multiple outbreaks of papillomavirus, the immune system must be strengthened. This requires proper nutrition, exercise, good sleep, quitting smoking alcohol and tobacco, controlling stressful situations. Taking care of your body's health will allow you to avoid recurrences and over time completely deal with papillomas.

How to treat papillomas

No drugs have yet been found to kill the papillomavirus. However, human papilloma is in most cases removed from the body without treatment, through the efforts of the immune system. Although the human papillomavirus itself cannot be cured with drugs, warts that result from infection are treatable and quite effective. Removal of papillomas may be necessary many times, because if HPV remains in the body, they will reappear again and again.

There are various medical and traditional methods of treating papillomas. For example, removal of the affected skin layers with salicylic acid or cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen). The skin may change color and texture shortly after exposure to nitrogen, but recovers quickly. One of the ways to fight papillomas is immunotherapy, ie strengthening the body's defenses. In this method of treatment, antibodies (vaccination) are injected into the body to kill the virus

Acid cauterization and surgical removal with a laser or scalpel are also practiced. Acute papillomas by the listed methods are removed in medical institutions during several repeated procedures. It should also be noted that medical methods of treating papillomas are much more effective than traditional ones.

Laser surgery is used when other methods have not helped to solve the problem or it is necessary to quickly get rid of papilloma. Laser therapy can be applied to any part of the body, with its help it is possible to remove papillomas in intimate places. The laser works selectively without damaging healthy skin or creating wounds. Slight redness or hyperpigmentation may occur, but this resolves quickly and the skin heals. Depending on the nature and size of the tumor, 1 to 3 laser procedures may be required.

After successful treatment, you should visit a doctor annually for preventive examinations. In accessible places the check for the presence of characteristic growths is performed independently. It is also recommended to take preventive measures against recurrence of the disease, to strengthen the immune system, physical endurance and resistance to stress.
