Human papillomavirus, how to cure?

If a dermatologist has identified a human papillomavirus in a patient, he will tell you how to treat it and provide detailed recommendations.

But some naive people try to get rid of external manifestations on their own. Folk recipes can and do help, but in some cases, delaying with qualified help can cause cancer to develop. And why it happens, now we'll find out.

What is this disease

Human papillomavirus or HPV is the collective name for 100 viruses that cause various formations to appear on human skin or mucous membranes. All these strains are divided into three groups:

  1. Non-oncogenic. Viruses belonging to this group cause the appearance of exceptionally benign formations. They are safe for human life and do not cause any discomfort. This is if they are not in a place where they are often injured.
  2. Low oncogen. If papillomas appear on the body due to the development of a virus of this group, they must be carefully monitored. In some cases, the formation can degenerate into a malignant one. Doctors recommend removing such growths in order not to risk health. Rebirth can begin if the treatment was performed by an unqualified specialist or if the growth was damaged in any way.
  3. Oncogen. Most of the formations that appeared under the influence of this group of viruses cause the development of cancer. This is especially true of women's health. Human papillomavirus in women can cause cervical cancer if treatment is not started on time. But men also often suffer from these viruses. They cause penile cancer.

HPV is also dangerous because there are often no symptoms that the virus is already experiencing in the body. In the early stages of education, they are so small that only a dermatologist, gynecologist or urologist can recognize them.

And here the question arises, is it possible to cure papillomavirus if it has already settled in the body? With this problem you need to contact only a doctor, he will help you solve it.

Treatment

Anyone who has encountered such a problem asks the same question: Is it possible to recover from human papillomavirus? There is still no such drug that will help get rid of papilloma forever and it may seem that HPV is incurable. But that doesn't mean treatment isn't necessary. Doctors know how to help a person's immune system defeat the papillomavirus.

For this, special destructive drugs and methods are prescribed to help get rid of external manifestations. How to beat a virus if there is no cure for it?

Drugs reduce the activity of the virus, and the immune system already suppresses the infection. If the body's defenses are significantly reduced, the doctor also adds immunomodulating drugs and vitamin complexes. The result will depend on how strong a person's immunity is.

Patients often ask if HPV can only be treated with drugs? It is very rare for the growths to disappear after medication, but this only happens when the disease is in its initial stage and the person's immunity is very strong. In other cases, the disease will have to be overcome with the help of destructive methods.

The elimination of external manifestations, that is, the papillomas themselves, is performed using:

Electrocoagulation a method of removing papillomas
  • Scalpel.This method is already somewhat outdated, but it still helps to get rid of large formations. It is also quite effective in cases where other methods cannot be applied. Before getting rid of the human papillomavirus in this way, general anesthesia is usually performed and all activities are performed in the operating room.
  • Liquid nitrogen. This method is also called cryodestruction. How to get rid of the papillomavirus in this way? Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature, when exposed to papillomas, they freeze and fall off after a while. If large lesions need to be removed, a scar may remain after the procedure.
  • Electrocoagulator. Formations are affected by high or low frequency current. In this case, the papillomas are destroyed from the inside and after a while they disappear.
  • Radio Knife. Here, the radiation of radio waves acts on education, which is also able to cure papillomas.
  • Laser. This is the most commonly used method. But is it possible to get rid of the growths in this way? If the formations are small, then one procedure will be enough to completely eliminate the external defect. But if there are multiple papillomas, the doctor or cosmetologist will advise you to repeat it again.

But before you get rid of the papillomavirus, you should definitely do some research.

Examination of a patient with HPV

Research and diagnostics

Before starting diagnostics and laboratory and hardware studies, the doctor must fully examine the patient, establish the severity of the lesion of the skin and mucous membranes.

The oral cavity is also examined. Papillomas in the mouth are not uncommon. For women, an examination by a gynecologist is necessary to check the mucous membranes of the genital organs. Also, you still need to do:

  • Cytological research. Cancer cells can be found in the early stages of degeneration.
  • Determination of the DNA of the virus. It helps to determine which group of viruses caused the papilloma to appear.
  • Histological examinations. To do this, take a small piece of instruction.
  • Inspection of the urethra. Allows you to detect papillomas in the bladder.

The results of all studies will determine the answer to the question of whether it is possible to cure the papilloma virus in this patient.

Traditional medicine

A very frequently asked question is how to recover from human papillomavirus using the advice of traditional medicine? Doctors unequivocally answer that before self-medication it is imperative to be examined. If no oncogenic or low oncogenic strains were identified during the diagnosis, human papillomavirus can be tried to be defeated using “grandmother's methods”.

But if the results have confirmed the worst fears, there is no need to experiment. Most often, the use of such therapy only aggravates the condition. A person also goes to a doctor when degeneration has begun or the papilloma has become a malignant tumor. Sometimes the patient no longer gets an appointment with the doctor and dies of oncology.

Treatment of papilloma with garlic compress

However, let's analyze some recipes

  • Some believe that garlic can cure the human papillomavirus. In addition, it is used both for compresses and inside. A clove of garlic can be sliced ​​or passed through a press. Apply for two hours exclusively on the papilloma, without reaching a healthy area of ​​the skin. Then the compress is removed and washed off with warm water. Garlic shouldn't be left overnight. This can cause burns, both papillomas and healthy skin areas. Such damage to the build-up can cause it to degenerate.
  • On the Internet, you can find a lot of reviews about how people got rid of papilloma with the help of laundry or tar soap. But you have to be very careful with this tool. It is important to choose the right soap. It should be a bar made from natural raw materials, without fragrances, bleaches and preservatives. A previously dissolved soap or soap solution with the addition of a decoction of medicinal herbs is applied to the formation in a dense layer. Such a compress is left overnight and the treatment is continued until the buildup disappears. It is strictly forbidden to use laundry soap for the treatment of papilloma on the mucous membranes of the genital organs in women. Such candles will completely destroy the microflora and can leave burns.
  • Celandine. This medicinal herb is used in its pure form, or rather its juice. They are simply littered with education. The decoctions, the oil are made of celandine. Lotions are made with broth, it is sometimes taken orally to boost immunity. If there were people in the family who died of oncology, it is necessary to urgently rush to the doctor with any formations on the skin and not wait for a fatal outcome.
