Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral agents on earth.
According to medical statistics, from 80% to 90% of all people on earth are carriers of HPV, many of whom are not even aware of the presence of papillomavirus in their own body. This is due to the fact that HPV can be in a latent (inactive) state for a long time, slowly affecting the basal cells of the epidermis, but not appearing visually, when it enters the patient's blood. We will try to consider the infection and symptoms of the disease and also figure out how to cure human papillomavirus quickly and effectively.
How is human papillomavirus transmitted?
To answer the local question of how you can be infected with human papillomavirus, it is important to mention three main ways to get into the body of the viral substance:
- be in touch- by direct contact with the user's epidermis. The risk group are masseurs, beauticians, dermatologists, etc. fl. ;
- Shared (home) system- involves the transmission of the papilloma virus through household goods - towels, combs, handrails in public transport, etc. ;
- Sexual means- unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, gives almost one hundred percent chance of papillomavirus entering the body, but such subtypes of the drug as human papillomavirus type 31 in women can be transmitted even when using a condom.
Symptoms of male and female papillomavirus in men and women do not appear until certain conditions or conditions occur. Such factors are considered to be secondary causes of papillomavirus:
- Decreased immune function;
- Violations of the integrity of the skin - injuries, cracks, scratches, wounds, etc. ;
- Stress and nervous-emotional overwork;
- Weakening of the body against the background of inflammation or infectious process;
- Hormone disorders;
- Violation of the rules of personal hygiene.
The only sign of papilloma virus can be considered the formation of specific skin tumors, which are mostly benign but require mandatory medical supervision. If at least one of the above factors is present, skin growth occurs within 1-6 months after the patient's first infection. This is how long the papillomavirus's gestation period lasts.
Why are different types of human papillomavirus dangerous?
To determine how to get rid of human papillomavirus and whether it is worthwhile to take medical treatment, we will calculate what this viral agent can be dangerous and how serious the consequences can be. Often people do not pay due attention to skin growths such as papillomas and warts, as they consider harmless defects. Only the prominent (front) location of the tumor, which causes aesthetic problems, can push the patient to visit a specialist. At the same time, some types of human papillomavirus are considered pre-cancerous and can turn into malignant tumors.
Modern medicine has about 120 types of papillomavirus, which determine the location, size and carcinogenic effects of epidermal growth. We will try to figure out which types can be considered just an aesthetic flaw and which ones need immediate treatment:
- Papilloma virus 1, 2, 4 species.The viral substance leads to the formation of plantar warts, which can grow over time and spread to healthy tissues, making it difficult for the patient to move;
- Papillomavirus 2, 4, 26, 27, 29, 57 species.It causes the formation of common or rude warts, which most often affect the skin of the hands.
- Papilloma virus 3, 10, 28, 49 species.This is the main reason for the appearance of flat warts, which usually affect children and adolescents, for whom they were given another name - youthful;
- HPV type 7.Forms a special papilloma in the hands of an infected person, called "slaughter warts";
- Papilloma viruses 2, 3, 5, 8-10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 36, 37, 46, 47 and 50 species.A large group of viral substances that cause epidermodysplasia veruciform, but are extremely benign;
- Papillomaviruses 6 and 11 in humans, as well as 42 and 54 species.A more dangerous group of HPV, which forms genital warts on the genitals and mucous membranes. Such growth can undergo a malignant transformation;
- Papillomavirus 16, 18 and most subspecies 30-67 species.This group of viruses has a strong carcinogenic effect, which is associated with the internal genitalia. Thus, papillomavirus type 33 in women, as well as papillomavirus type 18, cause the formation of flat warts and dysplasia in the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer;
- Papilloma virus type 51, as well as species 45, 52, 54, 56, 66, 68.Papillomavirus type 52 and other aggressive drugs in this group can cause cancer of the cervix or vagina, as well as cancer of the external genitalia and anus.
It should be understood that these are not all HPV subspecies known to science, but the variants listed above can be safely attributed to the most common.
How to detect human papillomavirus in women and the stronger sex?
Diagnosis is an obligatory step in visiting a doctor if the formation of papillomas on the skin or mucous membranes develops. This is due to the risk of confusing papilloma with another skin problem. Although in most cases asymptomatic, the male papillomavirus in women is often diagnosed only with a planned or for some other reason, a gynecological examination.
Skin growth can be detected by simple examination, confirmed by microscopic diagnosis of epithelial scabs. At the same time, a final diagnosis can only be made after a PCR diagnosis, which makes it possible to confirm the presence of the papilloma virus in the patient's blood. If malignant genital papillomas are suspected, an additional test is often prescribed - a biopsy.
Human papillomavirus - treatment
To answer the question of how to cure the papilloma virus, it should initially be assumed that a simple removal of the skin tumor does not solve the problem once and for all, as the viral substance remains in the blood. Unfortunately, to date, medicine has not developed an effective method to completely cleanse the human body of the virus, but strengthening immunity and prudent hygiene do not allow HPV to multiply effectively and lead to the formation of skin defects.
There are two main directions for removing papillomas from different locations:
- Treatment of human papillomavirus by folk medicine;
- Hardware removal of benign tumors.
Treatment of papillomavirus with folk remedies
Folk recipes suggest the use of fresh celandine juice, as well as iodine and vinegar solutions as drugs that burn out papillomas. Such methods are based on the simple use of a drug on a tumor with its subsequent rejection. It should be borne in mind that this method has limited effectiveness and can lead to scarring or scarring. A softer option is the regular application of garlic incisions on skin growth, which may not give the desired results, but will certainly not harm the patient's health.
Use of decoctions and infusions of such herbs as wormwood, dandelion, tricolor purple, etc. , allows you to strengthen the immune system and provide natural resistance to HPV. Treatment of human papillomavirus at home can also be done with the help of special ointments, creams and patches.
How to cure human papilloma using hardware methods
Modern medicine offers some effective hardware options to get rid of the papilloma virus from a patient, however, laser debridement of tumors is considered the "gold standard" in this regard. The method is effective, painless and simple. The treatment takes only a few minutes without affecting the surrounding area. This approach will not only protect the patient from unwanted scars and scars, but also significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
