The human papillomavirus that we will discuss in this publication is a very common disease. There are more carriers of this virus than people who are not infected with HPV. To date, several methods have been developed to treat this disease. They are usually divided into two groups: conservative treatment methods and destructive treatment methods.
Unfortunately, so far, it has not been possible to completely eliminate the human papillomavirus. The methods and methods of modern medicine can only prevent the development of the virus, remove the existing papilloma, prevent the deterioration of the disease, and lead to the formation of new papilloma.
After the human papillomavirus settles in the body, it stays in the body for life. When the immune system weakens, it is activated, causing tumors on the skin.
Conservative treatment of human papillomavirus
The conservative treatment of HPV includes a series of measures aimed at strengthening the human immune system and inhibiting the development of the virus. In some cases, this is sufficient and no operation method is required.
important:Only under the guidance of a specialist can a positive result be achieved. Do not self-administer medication in this case. The task of the doctor is to conduct a medical examination of the patient and further specify a separate course of treatment.
Generally, interferon-based drugs are used to treat human papillomavirus. This substance that inhibits the development of the virus is produced by a healthy body and is in sufficient quantity. But as immunity weakens, the concentration of this substance in the blood needs to be increased. The drug is absorbed into the blood and begins to affect the body.
In addition, as part of using conservative methods to treat papilloma, in some cases, specific antiviral drugs are required.
In many cases, the use of special creams, gels and sprays has been proven to destroy the virus in local tissues. In some cases, their use can lead to the necrosis of the tissues affected by the virus, which makes it possible to abandon the use of destructive treatments.
Destructive treatment of human papillomavirus
Destructive treatment aims to directly destroy the tissues affected by the virus. These methods can be roughly divided into two categories: chemical and physical.
The chemical treatment of papilloma involves the use of chemicals to remove tissue affected by the virus. Today, several groups of drugs have been developed to remove papilloma in different areas.
There are several physical methods to remove papilloma. The most common methods are electrocoagulation, cryodestruction, radiosurgery, and laser treatment.
Electrocoagulation involves the use of high-frequency current to remove papilloma. This method has been used for a long time and proved to be very effective. But it also has disadvantages. First of all, these are pain sensations after surgery, which will last for a long time.
Crydestruction is also a widely used method for the treatment of papilloma, which can reduce the inconvenience of patients. The method is based on freezing the affected tissue using liquid nitrogen. Ulcers formed by freezing damage will heal within one to two weeks. At the same time, no traces were left on the skin.
This method is specifically used to remove skin papilloma. If you need to remove the papilloma on the cervix, this method is not used because it is not effective in this case.
In terms of effectiveness, painlessness and postoperative duration, the best way to treat human papilloma is laser removal of the papilloma. The method is based on the use of surgical lasers.
The characteristic of this method is that after the affected tissue is removed, the laser immediately seals the blood vessel, thereby preventing the possibility of bleeding. This method will not cause any complications or scars. The recovery period is one month.
There is another modern method of removing papilloma-radiosurgery. This method is based on the use of special equipment that cuts off damaged tissues by exposing them to powerful high-frequency radio waves.
Although the above-mentioned modern methods have been successfully applied in medicine, surgical resection of papilloma is still very popular. Perhaps this is the most painful method, involving a long postoperative time. But in many cases, the application of this particular method is shown. For example, surgery is used in oncology to remove cervical papilloma.
Recovery period
No matter which method is used to remove papilloma, there are certain measures that must be followed after surgery. Including, showing heavy drinking and sticking to a moderation program.
In addition, comprehensive measures are needed to reduce the concentration of papillomavirus in the body. Usually, for this purpose, drugs that strengthen the immune system are prescribed.
Remember, removing the papilloma on the skin or mucous membranes does not eliminate the presence of this virus in the body. In order to avoid the re-formation of papilloma, it is necessary to live a healthy lifestyle and see a doctor regularly.
