Human papillomavirus infection is mainly sexually transmitted. To date, more than 100 viral strains with known oncogenicity have been identified. Recently, clinicians have begun to link various skin neoplasms, including papillomas, to precancerous conditions, so it is important to adequately treat and remove papillomas from the body.
Which doctor should I see for papillomas?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus persists asymptomatically for a long time and is not expressed in any form even after the appearance of papillomas in the body.
Patients are accustomed to seeing a doctor with symptoms of extreme anxiety:
- a disease,
- itching
- serous exudate, bleeding.
Often, these symptoms of papilloma are characterized by a tumor or tumor.
If neoplasms appear in the body, it is recommended to consult a general practitioner or a dermatologist directly. If a person is suspected of having a human papillomavirus infection, a dermatologist may refer you to an infectious disease specialist, venereologist, gynecologist, or urologist.
Severe symptoms and consultation with oncologists are required.
How to stop the growth and cure papillomas in the body?
Removing papillary lesions alone will not solve the HPV problem.
New neoplasms reappear under favorable conditions:
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Cold or hypothermia;
- Stress factor;
- Long-term drug treatment.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely eliminate the virus from the body, but modern medicine can ensure stable remission against further pathogenic activity of HPV strains.
Adequate therapy prevents the development of new papillary foci, and topical drugs disrupt the structure of the papilloma and lead to its self-cutting.
Tablets for papillomas in the body
Tablets are prescribed for systemic treatment to stop the activity of viral strains, if necessary. At the same time, they address the issue of treatment of combined pathologies or other preventive factors that may lead to the activation of the virus.
The following drugs are prescribed to treat HPV:
- Antiviral agents. The active substances suppress pathogenic viral activity in a short time. In addition to the antiviral effect, the drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies that fight the virus and completely destroy the strains.
- Herbal antiviral drugs. Substances effectively fight viral infections; After a few days of use, they destroy viral strains at the DNA level. These funds are withdrawn on the first day of recurring growth. Side effects include nausea, dyspepsia and urinary incontinence.
- Purine-based synthetic products. The daily dose is 2-3 tablets per day, and in case of severe infection the dose is increased to 5-6 tablets per day.
- High-performance immunomodulators. Given that the growth and proliferation of papillomas is possible only against the background of reduced immunity, prescribing drugs. The daily dose is 1 tablet. 4 times a day. Tablets are not prescribed during pregnancy and for children under 10 years.
- A wide range of tablets that are very effective against HPV, fungal infections and pathogenic microorganisms. Drugs increase the effectiveness of other antidepressants, there are virtually no contraindications. The course of treatment lasts 14-21 days.
HPV pills are taken strictly after a doctor's appointment. This is due to oral administration, the drug's passage through the digestive system, and the possible adverse effects of the tablets on the condition of internal organs and systems.
Creams and ointments
Topical anti-papilloma drugs can be used at home on their own, which greatly simplifies therapy. Unlike the use of tablets, fats directly affect the papillomatous focus, destroy viral DNA and normalize adequate cell regeneration.
There are several basic medicines that can be used at home:
- Salicylic oil. An agent with a concentration of 60% of the active substance is used for treatment. The course of treatment depends on the effectiveness of therapy. Thus, treatment is continued with a short break of 7 to 14 days, after which treatment can be continued. Salicylic oil can cause a slight feeling of tension, pain and itching. The available and affordable product is not harmful, but has a clear bactericidal and restorative effect.
- Oxolinic liniment 3%. The main difference from nasal ointment is the concentration of the active substance. 3% oxolin is needed to eliminate papillomatous foci. The drug has an open antiviral effect, prevents the formation of new papillary foci.
- Ointment with interferon. Effective local immunomodulators that actively enhance local immunity. The active substance is human interferon, which has antiviral effects. A characteristic feature is the lack of contraindications, so the agent is widely used in pediatric practice.
- Zinc oil. The drug is effective against many dermatological diseases, including papillomas and warts. Zinc paste is absorbent, retaining and anti-inflammatory. Liniment is based on zinc oxide, which dries the papilloma and contributes to its rapid fall.
- Salicylic acid-containing ointments are effective against papillomas. Preparations are applied twice a day with an applicator or cotton wool to avoid touching healthy areas of the skin.
- Ointment with herbal ingredients. The drug enhances local immunity, helps to increase the synthesis of its own interferon. Drugs disrupt the structure of the papilloma, destroying not only the external growth, but also the roots of the neoplasm.
- Oils with complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are chloramphenicol and methyluracil, antibiotics belonging to the group of immunomodulators. Fats contribute to the normal regeneration of skin cells, normalize the water balance in skin structures. The general course of treatment is 4 weeks, 2-3 times a day.
General comprehensive therapy lasts up to several weeks. Patients should take systemic medications along with local agents to stop the viral process as quickly as possible.
The course of antiviral therapy should not be interrupted!
Medication should be followed by a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and vitamin complexes. This is a comprehensive approach to HPV that allows you to maintain long-term stable immunity and prevent the formation of new papillomas in the body of any localization.
Be healthy and happy!
