Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral agents on the planet.
According to medical statistics, 80% to 90% of people on the planet are HPV carriers, and many of them don’t even know that there is a papillomavirus in their bodies. This is because HPV that has penetrated into the patient's blood can remain in a latent (inactive) state for a long time, slowly affecting the basal cells of the epidermis, and will not show up visually. We will try to consider the mechanism of infection and disease symptoms, and find out how to cure HPV quickly and effectively.
How does the human papillomavirus spread?
When answering the popular question about how you are infected with HPV, it is important to mention the three main mechanisms by which the viral agent penetrates into the body:
- Contact information-Direct contact with the wearer's epidermis. The risk groups are masseurs, beauticians, dermatologists, etc. ;
- Mediation (family) mechanism-Involving the spread of papilloma virus through household items-towels, combs, handrails of public transportation, etc. ;
- Sexual approach-Having unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, the possibility of papillomavirus invading the human body is almost 100%, and subtypes such as human papillomavirus type 31 in women can be transmitted even when using a condom.
Symptoms of human papillomavirus in men and women may not appear until certain conditions or conditions occur. These factors are considered to be secondary causes of papillomavirus:
- Decreased immune function;
- Violation of skin integrity-damage, microcracks, scratches, wounds, etc. ;
- Stress and neuroemotional overwork;
- Weakness of the body against the background of the inflammation or infection process;
- hormone imbalance;
- Violation of personal hygiene rules.
The only sign of papilloma virus can be considered as the formation of specific skin tumors. Most of these tumors are benign but require compulsory medical supervision. In the presence of at least one of the above factors, skin growth will appear within 1-6 months after the patient's initial infection. This is the duration of the incubation period of papillomavirus.
Why are different types of human papillomaviruses dangerous?
In order to determine how to get rid of HPV and whether it is worthwhile to take treatment measures, we will figure out the dangers of this viral agent and the severity of its consequences. People usually do not pay attention to skin growths such as papillomas and warts, which are considered harmless defects. Only the obvious (frontal) localization of the tumor causing aesthetic problems can prompt the patient to see a specialist. At the same time, certain types of human papillomavirus are considered precancerous lesions and can be transformed into malignant tumors.
There are about 120 papillomaviruses in modern medicine, which determine the location, size, and carcinogenicity of epidermal growth. We will try to find out which types can be considered as aesthetic defects and which require immediate treatment:
- Papillomavirus types 1, 2, and 4.Viral agents cause the formation of plantar warts. Over time, the warts will grow and spread to healthy tissues, making it difficult for the patient to move;
- Papillomavirus types 2, 4, 26, 27, 29, 57.It can cause the formation of common or vulgar warts, which most often affect the skin of the hands.
- Papillomavirus 3, 10, 28, 49 types.This is the main reason for the appearance of flat warts, which most often affect children and adolescents, so they got the second name-young;
- HPV 7 type.A special papilloma called "sarcoma" forms on the hands of an infected person;
- Papillomavirus types 2, 3, 5, 8-10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 36, 37, 46, 47, and 50.A group of viral agents that cause verrucous epidermal dysplasia, which are also abnormally benign formations;
- Human papillomavirus types 6 and 11, and types 42 and 54.A group of more dangerous HPV forms genital warts on the genitals and mucous membranes. This growth will be malignant;
- Papillomavirus 16, 18 and most subspecies 30-67.This group of viral agents has a high level of carcinogenicity, which is manifested in internal reproductive organs. Therefore, female papillomavirus type 33 and papillomavirus type 18 can cause the formation of flat warts and cervical dysplasia, leading to cervical cancer;
- Papillomavirus type 51, and type 45, 52, 54, 56, 66, 68.Human papillomavirus type 52 and other aggressive substances in this group can cause cervical cancer or vaginal cancer, as well as tumors of the external reproductive organs and anus.
It should be understood that these are not all HPV subspecies known to science, but the species listed above can be confidently attributed to the most common.
How to determine the human papillomavirus in women and the strong?
If papilloma forms on the skin or mucous membranes, diagnosis is a necessary step to see a doctor. This is because there is a risk of confusing papilloma with other skin problems. Although in most cases it is asymptomatic, female human papillomavirus is usually only detected when it is planned or caused by other causes (gynecological examination).
Skin growth can be distinguished by simple inspection and confirmed by microscopic analysis of epithelial scrapings. At the same time, the final diagnosis can only be made after the PCR diagnosis, which makes it possible to determine whether the papilloma virus is present in the patient's blood. If the malignant course of genital papilloma is suspected, an additional test-a tissue biopsy is usually performed.
Human papillomavirus-treatment
When answering the question of how to cure the papilloma virus, one should first assume that simply removing skin tumors will not solve the problem once and for all, because the viral agent will remain in the blood. Unfortunately, so far, medicine has not developed an effective method to completely eliminate the virus in the human body. However, enhanced immunity and reasonable health care cannot allow HPV to actively multiply and accompanied by the formation of skin defects.
There are two main directions for removing papilloma in different locations:
- Treat human papillomavirus with folk remedies;
- Hardware resection of benign tumors.
Treating papilloma virus with folk remedies
Folk recipes recommend the use of fresh celandine juice, as well as a solution of iodine and vinegar as a medicine for burning papilloma. Such methods are based on the simple application of the agent to the tumor and subsequent rejection of the tumor. It should be remembered that this approach has limited effects and may cause scars or scars. A more gentle option is to cut garlic regularly for skin growth. This may not provide the desired results, but it will certainly not harm the health of the patient.
The use of herbal decoctions and infusions of wormwood, dandelion, pansies and other herbs can strengthen the immune system and provide natural resistance to HPV. Treatment of HPV at home can also be done with the help of special ointments, creams and patches.
How to cure human papilloma with hardware method
Modern medicine provides several effective hardware options to eliminate the papilloma virus in patients. However, laser destruction of tumors is considered the "gold standard" in this regard. The method is effective, painless and simple. The operation only takes a few minutes and will not affect the surrounding skin structure. This method not only protects patients from unnecessary scars and scars, but also significantly reduces the possibility of recurrence.
