Papillomas (HPV)

Papilloma is a benign neoplasm caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) and occurs on different parts of the body: under mice, on the voice strings, on the genitals, on the eyelids, neck, in the bladder, on the mucous nose and mouth.

Top-5 terrible facts you need to know about HPV

1. Scientists have discovered more than 190 HPV species. Of these, at least 13 types are the cause of cancer tumors.
2. In 2011, scientists in Australia conducted a study, after which they found the relationship of breast cancer to HPV.
3. Cervical cancer (or RSM) in 100% of cases occurs on the basis of HPV exposure.
4. By the end of 2013, vaccination against HPV was introduced in 55 countries.
5. Today, there are no drugs and methods that would remove the virus from the body 100%.

What is this talking about? At least for the fact that HPV is not harmless outgrowths that appear on the skin. If you have many papillomas, we recommend that you undergo special examinations and be careful about well -being.

Papillomas varieties. Almost more than 190 species

Cover and describe all types is difficult. Therefore, in the article we have collected the most common ones.

• Simple (plain, vulgar). They appear as a round papule with the size of a pin head as they grow, acquire a rough surface. Often, 1 wart appears first, while others occur around it over time, over the years there are more and more. This type of warts appear on the palms, between the toes and toes, the legs and feet, the forehead, the lips and the chin. The treatment is quite complicated.
• Film (acrochordus). They are caused by 2 and 7 types of viruses, occur on the eyelids, under the mammary glands, on the neck, in the area of inguinal and others. Are the most common, found in women and men. In the first stage, a print of a yellowish hue appears, after 1-4 weeks extends. Acrchordus may have an elongated or round shape, almost always as if it is "hanging" on a thin leg. In most cases, people with weakened immunity appear, as well as in those older than 40 years.
• Flat. Are located in groups in different parts of the body: around the anus, on the genitals, of the face, on the back; Often flat papillomas are located on the cervix and on the surface of other organs. The appearance resembles warts or large protruding moles; The growth has brown, sandy or dark brown shades; "Enhance" below the surface of the skin by about 0, 5-2, 5 mm.
• Acute warts. The individual outgrowths have a sharp shape and a pink hue. Most often, the warts are "united" in a great growth that resembles a comb of a rooster or turkey nose. Acute warts are transmitted only sexually, so they are often found on the cervix, the mucous membrane of the genitals, the penis, the urethra and in other areas. The danger of the slides lies in their destructive nature and instant distribution.

Reasons. How, where and why do they appear?

The natural cause of unpleasant warts and growths is HPV (also known as human papillomavirus). The spread of virus carriers in the human population exceeds 60 %. This means that almost every second is a potential carrier of the virus.

The methods for spreading the virus are as follows:

• Sexual. The virus is transmitted through sexual contact, sharpened warts appear on the body (they are also angenital warts).
• During birth. During the birth, the body of the newborn "cling" of the virus and then the children have warts and papillomas. They can usually be found in a child aged several months.
• In everyday life, in public transport and other public places. The virus can freely exist in toilets, railings and seats of public transport, clothes and shoes, store products for several days. The human body enters through damage, wounds and cracks in the skin. Be careful when you visit bathrooms, pools, saunas.
• When conducting certain procedures. For example, you can "take" HPV while shaving or when hair is removed.

Don't hide from the virus, don't hide. It is true that there is also positive news: in 90% of cases the body is able to deal with HPV. No pills, no injections, no surgery.

Diagnosis of Papillomas Types

The diagnosis includes at least 7 procedures used to detect HPV in the body, determining their type, treatment/elimination method:

1. Clinical examination. The admission of a specialist reveals all types of outgrowths that are present in the patient's body. The doctor examines them and makes notes. If anogenital warts are found, then a visit to the gynecologist is appointed to examine the condition of the cervix; Men may prescribe urethroscopy.
2. Colposcopy. This is a diagnostic examination of the female genital organs using a special device - Colposcope. The usual colposcopy does not provide the use of medicines and medicines, it is not fully effective. Colposcopy using medicines allows you to find the virus and its manifestations. Acetic acid test (or acetic acid test) is used for the procedure.
3. Cytological examination. The classification is performed according to SO -Called Pap - a spreading test that includes 5 classes. The first is a normal cytological picture, the heel is a huge amount of atypical cells (which can cause cancer).
4. Histological examination. In the course of his holding, the deep areas of the Malpati layers are examined for the development of koilocyte in them.
5. Tipification of PCR. Thanks to the procedure, different types of viruses can be found. But there is a disadvantage: in 20% of cases, typification produces a false result (due to the fact that the infection is short -term). But the study is very important in the diagnosis of the virus and other diseases.
6. Digene test (or screening test). The procedure is used worldwide to quickly detect high concentrations of the virus in the body. Digene's test is popular because it guarantees the accuracy of the study.
7. Polymerase chain reaction (or PCR). It allows you to find not only the virus but also other sexually transmitted diseases.

Why are papillomas dangerous?

The small "wart" that appears on your body does not attract attention but is full of danger. Papillomas can cause horrible diseases:

• Devplasia of the cervix.

• Cervical cancer (RSM).
• Carcinoma.
• Cancer of the oral cavity.
• Impotence.
• Of course, signs of asthma (especially in young children).
• Throat cancer.
• Lesies of the mucous membranes.
• Bowan's disease.
• Cancer of the oral cavity.

The wart "located" on the forehead, on the chin or above the lip, lowers itself and attracts excessive attention from others. The papilloma can grow on the inner sheath of the century, so because of it there will be a constant feeling of "varicines in the eyes", the beauty of the eyeballs and the pinching.

"Heldows" can cause aesthetic and psychological problems. But their main danger is health problems (to cancer and precancerous conditions).

Treatment and removal of papillomas. How was this done?

It is important to understand: there is no way that could destroy HPV. All we can do today is to remove its manifestations (in the form of warts, papillomas and other outgrowths on the body). They cause precancerous conditions and cancer tumors (not HPV! ). There are times when HPV has lived in the body of a carrier for 20-30 years but has not shown to the skin.

General therapy using antiviral drugs and immunomodulators is prescribed in rare cases. Doctors prescribe such medicines if they deal with high quality types of viruses.

In most cases, medicines with medicinal herbs show up well, it is enough to drink them once a year, they quickly suppress human papillomavirus.

The following methods are used to remove the affected tissues:

• Surgical removal. This is an exceptional measure in the fight against warts and papillomas. It is usually used in the case where growth has become too large. Removal requires the preparation of the patient, high qualification of the attending physician, the use of local anesthesia. After the procedure, a seam is applied to combine fabrics. The skin heals after 3-4 weeks, but a scar/scar can remain.
• Electrocoagulation. The procedure that implies the effect on the growth of electric shock. It is necessary to "burn" not the whole affected area, but only its base. The main advantage of the procedure is that the vessels are neatly sealed, there is virtually no blood. Skin recovery occurs after 7-10 days, the risk of scars is minimal.
• Laser photocoagulation (laser removal). It provides the effect on the growth outbreak with a laser beam. Laser photocoagulation is performed without anesthesia, performed after a few minutes, forms rough skin crusts (they quickly fall without leaving a trace). The risk of scars is small, the procedure allows you to quickly remove the accumulation of warts or casts. The only negative is the high cost of surgery.
• Cautherization with nitrogen (cryodestruction). The procedure requires a tiny drop of liquid nitrogen that enters the wart and immediately destroys its protein structure. Allows you to get rid of unpleasant growth for 7-10 days. Cautherization of nitrogen (cryodestruction) is considered an affordable and effective manner, but several sessions may be required with a large lesion. The method is actively used in state medical institutions and private clinics, health centers and aesthetics. Its only disadvantage is the risk of growth recurrence if the specialist does not burn it completely.

• Radio surgery. In any case, it is not used, it is manufactured using Surgeitron equipment. The method has appeared not so long ago, allows you to remove any unpleasant outgrowths painlessly and quickly. But so far, radio surgery is available at several due to the high cost of equipment and the high cost of the service.
• Method of chemical destruction. To perform the procedure, "nucleus" chemicals and acids are used. These compounds are applied to the surface of the cares, warts or papillomas without the use of special equipment. The method is cheap but relatively effective.

Treatment and Removal of Folk Methods

If you are afraid to see a doctor, if you have no money for expensive surgery, you can try treatment and removal by folk methods. We have chosen the most effective ways to remove the papillomas, read them on this page: Removing papillomas at home.

How not to infect HPV? Prevention and important information

So far, scientists are working to create universal medicine to combat disease. Among the prevention measures is:

• Barrier contraception (condom). Use this method to protect yourself from HPV transmitted.
• The vaccine developed in the United States since 2006 has been used to protect RSHM girls caused by the virus; It's expensive.
• Household level hygiene. You can live with a ferebat virus, but you don't even know about it. So take care of hygiene in everyday life.
• Hygiene in public places. The virus is transmitted through the wounds, cracks and skin damage. If you have them, refuse to visit public places (or at least protect the affected areas with a patch).

We hope you now know about HPV everything!
