How to get rid of papillomas on the body with folk, medications, surgical methods

Papillomas or warts on the body are a common problem. These formations are benign and do not threaten human health. But how to get rid of this problem, a small number of people know.

What is papilloma

Papillomas on the body (how to get rid of them will be described below) are formed due to the rapid growth and reproduction of epithelial cells. These are soft neoplasms that have an elongated shape. The color of papillomas depends on their type and can acquire a flesh, yellowish or brownish tint.

The place of their localization often becomes:

• face;
• neck;
• breast
• groin.

Such neoplasms are able to form in the process of a lifetime. The reason for their occurrence pathogen present in the body of almost every person, and he can manifest himself due to weakened immunity.

How can you get infected

Papillomas on the body, how to get rid of this problem or prevent its occurrence are issues that concern many. In fact, it is a disease that can affect both adults and children. Infection is not difficult. The virus can enter the human body from the external environment, where it is able to inhabit for a very long time.

The main danger of the virus is its imperceptible presence in the body, when a person is completely unaware of its presence. An infected object becomes unsafe not only for members of its family, but also for those who accidentally find themselves nearby.

The disease is transmitted:

1. Through unprotected intercourse. Intimacy with an infected person increases the risk of catching the virus. According to medical research, a strong half of humanity is a great danger, but the female sex can spread HPV.
2. Household way. If a patient is present in the family, then you can become infected if: wear shoes or clothing infected; use general hygiene items.
3. The vertical way. Infection occurs before the 6th week of pregnancy or during childbirth. If a baby is born with difficulty breathing as a result of the presence of growths in its respiratory organs, they will be immediately operated on, since treatment with medications is useless.

The risks of catching an infection increase if there are abrasions on the skin, wounds. This is a free path for the penetration of viral cells.

In addition, there are favorable factors for the development of the disease:

• weakened immunity;
• lack of vitamins and minerals;
• addiction to alcohol;
• smoking;
• dysbiosis;
• disturbed microflora in the vagina;
• diabetes mellitus (including all types);
• stay at any stage of pregnancy;
• exacerbation of any chronic disease;
• stressful situations;
• impaired metabolism;
• prolonged use of hormonal drugs.

In addition, there are places where it is very easy to pick up the causative agent of the disease:

• saunas;
• pools;
• baths;
• public transport (the virus accumulates on the seats, handrails);
• a nail salon where unsterilized tools are often used.

To minimize the risk of infection, doctors strongly recommend that you do not engage in erratic sexual relations, give up bad habits and treat chronic diseases in a timely manner.

Types of Papillomas

There are such types of papillomas:

• Flat. These are teenage skin lesions. Only a dermatologist can eliminate them. They are formed mainly on the forehead, cheeks or neck. Many patients have pain, itching, and burning in place of such papillomas.
• Filiform warts have an elongated pedicle and are distinguished by their elongated shape and mobility. Usually they suffer people after 40 years. Their growth is associated with a change in hormonal levels at this age. They are located under the mammary glands, on the eyelids or face.
• Vulgar or ordinary . These are rough formations localized on the feet, knees and toes. They are small in size. In connection with their ability to merge into groups on the affected area, a large number of them are formed. They do not pose any danger to human health, but several cases are known when such growths develop into malignant.
• Perianal genital warts. In shape, they look like cauliflower, and their location is the genitals or oral mucosa.
• Plantar They are localized in the sole area. Such a variety of formations gives a person considerable discomfort. Usually they disappear on their own with a change of season or with an increase in immunity.
• Squamous. The growths are unsafe, as they are characterized by excessive mobility, therefore, the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma increases.
• Fibropapilloma. These formations are not malignant, but in their shape resemble a mushroom. They grow slowly, but are easily susceptible to damage. There is a high probability of developing them into melanoma.
• Inverted . Pathology develops in the nose and quickly spreads to the frontal and maxillary sinuses. This rare type of papilloma is very dangerous for human health.
• Angiopapilloma. This is a benign formation of connective tissue. It is rather difficult to diagnose it at the initial stage. Oncology may occur.

What are dangerous papillomas on the body

Papillomas on the body occasionally cause a person inconvenience or harm his health. But some people perceive them as an unpleasant cosmetic effect and try to get rid of them faster.

Papillomas are often formed:

• on the external genitalia;
• on the neck;
• under the mammary glands.

An infection gets into the resulting wound, which ends with swelling and necrosis.

The degeneration of papillomas into cancer is rare and the cause of this phenomenon can be:

• hormonal disbalance;
• chronic diseases.

To prevent such a dangerous development of pathology, when a papilloma is detected, it is recommended to monitor its condition. If over time it begins to change, urgent medical attention will be required.

Signs indicating the conversion of the growth into a malignant formation:

• increase in the size of
  the growth;
• manifestation of pain;
• shade change;
• suspicious discharge.

Genital papillomas are more dangerous for humans. Their appearance:

• disrupts the functioning of the genitourinary system;
• interferes with full sexual activity.

If the problem is ignored, growths grow. There is erosion or cancer of the cervix, and in men this is manifested by deformation of the penis. If pathology is formed in the throat, then breathing is disturbed and asthma attacks may occur, and if papilloma is damaged, severe bleeding can result.

Diagnostics

Papillomas on the body (how to get rid of them, how to recognize the presence of pathology in time, the doctor will tell) need to be treated. A dermatologist or venereologist can diagnose the presence of a virus in the body.

As it turned out, there are many types of viruses, and each of them has its own characteristics. Therefore, it is impossible to determine its presence only by an initial visual inspection. The only exception is typical genital papillomas, which the doctor will not confuse with any other neoplasms.

Diagnosis of HPV consists of several methods:

1. CPR is a classic diagnosis that allows you to identify the virus and determine its type. The technique will help to find out whether the disease appeared against the background of a decrease in immunity or is it a chronic phenomenon that has been going on for many years.
2. Colposcopy is a method by which the presence of genital papillomas on the external genitalia and cervix is detected. Research is carried out under a special microscope. Condylomas are treated with a 3% solution of acetic acid, after which they are stained in pearl white. This procedure makes it possible to see the clear boundaries of the pathology.
3. A biopsy is a procedure in which tissue is taken from the body. Then they are stained with dyes, after which their detailed study begins. This is the most common and most reliable research method.

The last procedure is carried out in two ways:

• cytological, which makes it possible to carefully study cells under a microscope, and identify possible changes in them;
• histological, requiring not a superficial scraping of the cells, but the taking of a piece of tissue, in which its layers and structural features are studied.

Diagnosis of papillomas is a very important procedure, without which the appointment of effective therapy is impossible.

Papillomavirus removal
