Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most widespread viruses in the world. It damages the skin and causes it to grow. Skin lesions may be thorny, flat, or domed, protruding from the surface, or absorbed into the skin.
HPV is also known as the wart virus. Wart growth can be one or more, like cauliflower. They can affect any part of the body, including the genitals (pointed papilloma). Some types of infections, such as human papillomavirus, can lead to the development of 16 cancers, including cervical cancer.
Human papillomas can remain in the body for several years and do not cause external symptoms. Papillomas that appear on the surface of the skin can disappear on their own without any treatment and pain, but this does not happen overnight, for example, within six months.
Human papilloma, disease prevention
Psoriasis is a sexually transmitted disease in which the warts become infected through the skin. Using a condom can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. However, this is not 100% protective because the spread of the disease can occur when it comes in contact with unprotected skin areas. It is best to abstain from sexual intercourse during the active period of the papillomavirus. The partner must be aware of the presence of HPV.
Papillomas can be spread to other areas of the skin, such as the hands and feet, as well as through contact: shaking hands, touching the infected handles of the simulator, walking barefoot in the shower, someone else's towels, sheets, or cosmetics. Prevention of the disease in these cases may be the observance of personal hygiene.
Sometimes human papillomavirus becomes active again. In some people, such cases are rare and uncommon, while others have multiple papillomas. This depends on the nature of the virus and the condition of the human body. Excessive lifestyle with weakened immune system, hormonal problems, stress and bad habits can increase the activity of the virus.
The immune system needs to be strengthened to prevent the recurrence of HPV. This includes eating right, exercising, sleeping well, abstaining from alcohol and smoking, and controlling stress. Taking care of your body's health will help you to prevent relapses and to fight papillomas over time.
How to treat papilloma
Drugs to kill the papillomavirus have not yet been found. However, human papillomas are often removed by the immune system and left untreated. Although human papillomavirus cannot be cured by drugs, war-torn formations can be curable and effective. Removal of papillomas may be required several times because if HPV remains in the body, they will recur.
There are various medical and traditional methods of treating papillomas. For example, removal of damaged skin layers with salicylic acid or cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen). The skin may change color and texture slightly after exposure to nitrogen, but it recovers quickly. One way to deal with papillomas is to use immunotherapy to strengthen the body's defenses. With this method of treatment, antibodies (vaccines) that kill the virus are injected into the body
Cauterization of the acid and surgical removal with a laser or scalpel are also practiced. Papillomas identified by the methods listed are removed in medical institutions during repeated procedures. It should be noted that medical methods of treating papillomas are more effective than traditional methods.
Laser surgery is used when other methods do not solve the problem or when you need to get rid of papilloma quickly. Laser therapy can be applied to any part of the body to remove papillomas in intimate areas. The laser works selectively without damaging healthy skin or creating sores. Slight redness or hyperpigmentation may occur, but this is quickly suppressed and the skin heals. Depending on the nature and size of the neoplasm, 1 to 3 laser procedures may be required.
After successful treatment, you should see a doctor for an annual preventive examination. Checking for the presence of typical plants in accessible areas is carried out independently. It is also recommended to take preventive measures against recurrence, strengthen the immune system, physical endurance and stress management.
