Treatment of papilloma virus is a complex technique of removing the symptoms of the infection, its causes, surgical and therapeutic methods. Benign neoplasms - papillomas - can occur on different parts of the body or mucous membranes. Most often, such formations are harmless, but there are situations when their removal is necessary in order to prevent the degeneration of the formation into an oncological tumor. That is why it is very important to treat HPV properly, respecting all the recommendations of traditional medicine.
Drug Therapy
It is not possible to completely cure the papilloma virus in a short time. To solve the problem, it is important to use antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs that prevent the spread of the disease and the malignancy of the formed formations. All medications in the form of tablets, injections or suppositories are prescribed to patients after diagnosis.
Immunostimulants, antivirals, homeopathy, tumor killers and cytotoxic drugs are used to treat papillomavirus. The first 3 groups of drugs can have different forms (tablets, injections and others) and are used to combat the causes of the disease, and the last 2 groups are used to gradually remove the formed formations.
The purpose of using immunostimulants is to strengthen and activate the protective functions in the body, to promote the synthesis of antibodies that will fight viruses and infections. If you use immunostimulants in combination with antiviral drugs, then the effect of the latter will be many times greater.
How effective immunomodulators will be in treating HPV will depend on the individual reactions of the patient's body and the complex treatment of which they are a part. But in most cases, with a pronounced papilloma virus clinic and the use of immunomodulators, the disease becomes regressive and may even disappear completely.

Papilloma removal by surgical methods
Can I resort to deleting
Some papillomas that appear on the body do not cause discomfort to a person, while others are capable of growth, creating both cosmetic defects and physical discomfort. In case of discomfort from papillomas, it is always removed, but whether it is worth removing the formations, if their appearance does not bring discomfort, you need to understand in each case.
Liquid nitrogen cauterization
The most acceptable way to remove papillomas today is by liquid nitrogen burning or cryodestruction. The technique can be reported by the hardware method using a cryoprobe or manually, which is most often practiced in cosmetology rooms.
Special equipment is required to use the cryodestruction hardware technique.
Cryodestruction is performed in the following stages:
- In the preparation phase, for patients with a low level of pain threshold or with a large area of papilloma growth, the nitrogen exposure zone is anesthetized with local anesthetic solutions. In other cases, patients are advised to take painkillers orally 1 hour before the procedure.
- In the phase of direct freezing or cryodestruction, liquid nitrogen is applied to the area of the papilloma. In this case, the validity period of 1 point is only a few seconds, so in 5 minutes you can freeze up to 40 papillomas on the body. Prior to cryosurgery, the patient is warned of possible tingling at the site of nitrogen application at the time of freezing.
- In the final stage, the area of skin treatment with liquid nitrogen is disinfected with disinfectants.
The need for cryodestruction in each case is determined by the attending physician. If the patient is at risk of degeneration of the papilloma into a malignant formation, removal must be performed. Factors influencing the need for cryodestruction are:
- mechanical damage to the neoplasm;
- decreased level of patient immunity;
- use of oral contraceptives;
- bad habits of the patient;
- localization of growths in places that are regularly injured in the process of life.
Cryodestruction is also indicated in case of aesthetic and physical discomfort of the patient due to the presence of papillomas on the body.
The main contraindications for the use of the cryodestruction method are acute infections in the patient's body, inflammatory processes in the internal organs, atypical types of neoplasms, pathological intolerance to cold. Possible complications after removal of warts with liquid nitrogen can be scars and tissue pigmentation at the site of cryoprobe application.
Ointments and lotions
In pharmacies today you can buy many special lotions and ointments to remove papillomas on the most delicate parts of the skin.
It is necessary to use ointments to cauterize education only with complex therapy of the virus, which should be carried out with the help of tablet immunomodulators and antiviral agents.
Multivitamins, which will improve the condition of the immune system and its readiness to produce protective antibodies to the virus, will not interfere in this case.
The most affordable ointment that can beat papillomas is a salicylic acid-containing ointment that has a keralotic, bactericidal, and restorative effect on the affected tissue. The product is applied exactly to the affected area, without affecting the healthy surrounding tissues that can be burned with it.
You can also find ready-made solutions for papilloma removal in any pharmacy. With the help of such solutions it will be necessary to make lotions that will lead to the death of pathogenic microflora in the skin area and eliminate papillomas.
Surgical method
Surgical removal of growths refers to the physical removal of a papilloma with a scalpel.
Doctors prescribe removal surgery if the diameter of the neoplasm exceeds 3 centimeters.
During the manipulation, the surgeon first disinfects the area around the growth and the growth itself with the help of a disinfectant, and then performs manipulations with local anesthesia and proceeds to directly excise the tumor. After the papilloma is removed, it must be sent for a histological examination to determine the oncological nature of its cells. 2 weeks after surgery, the wound under the removed nipple was completely tightened and healed.
The main indications for papilloma surgery are:
- large formations, their deep and flat views;
- need for urgent papilloma elimination;
- malignancy of papilloma;
- the inadmissibility of other methods of removing education.
The main advantages of classical papilloma excision are complete elimination of the problem in 1 operation, low probability of recurrence in this case, safety of manipulation, absence of a large list of contraindications for the procedure and acceptable price for most patients.
Disadvantages of surgical removal of papillomas include scarring at the excision site, and sometimes keloid scarring, a long period of post-surgical rehabilitation, refusal of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and invasiveness of the procedure. Also, complications of surgery in the form of redness, itching, scarring at the incision site, and an increase in body temperature may rarely occur.Laser removal
The gold standard of modern medicine in the removal of neoplasms is the laser removal of papillomas. Until recently, papilloma removal left scars, but today the laser technique allows you to preserve the beauty of the skin without visible changes.
The basis of laser papilloma therapy is evaporation, ie the ability of air to cauterize tissue and evaporate life-giving moisture from its surface. The devices allow you to dose the duration and intensity of exposure to rays on the skin, depending on the nature of the tumor.
The laser removal process itself takes place in several stages:
- first, the doctor performs a dermatoscopy and determines the type of laser to be used;
- the site of exposure is treated with local anesthetics; The
- laser removal session lasts a few minutes;
- when the procedure is completed, the exposure site is disinfected and a sterile bandage is applied to it if contact with clothing in this area is possible;
- A patient outside the clinic provides help for wound rehabilitation.
After laser papilloma removal, patients are forbidden to sunbathe, visit swimming pools and spas, bathe or use any cosmetics in the area of scars.
These restrictions are temporary and are negotiated between the specialist and the patient before leaving the hospital.
Laser removal has a number of contraindications, relative and absolute, determined in each case. The technique is usually not intended for diabetes mellitus, the presence of herpes, fever, influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, diseases of the hematopoietic organs.
Traditional methods
Herbs
From ancient times, using various herbal infusions, healers have destroyed all manifestations of papillomatosis. Many recipes have survived to this day because they are astounding in their effectiveness and lack of negative effects on the body.
A popular folk remedy for HPV is wormwood tincture. With it you can get rid of the formation on the entire surface of the body. The most important thing is to know exactly when and how to harvest the plant for medicine.
Wormwood must be harvested in a certain way. The most useful in this plant are leaves and flowers, but the thick stem is not suitable for tincture. Removal of wormwood roots from the ground is less often advised for medical purposes. All harvested parts of the plant are washed and laid on a flat surface for drying. During the drying process, the grass must be turned over occasionally so that it does not dry out. The finished dried plant is stored in a dry glass container with a tight lid.
Prepared tincture against wormwood papilloma will not only solve this problem, but will also eliminate pathogenic microflora, and has a beneficial effect on the human stomach.
The course of taking the tincture for papillomatosis is at least 2 weeks, followed by a break in treatment. Each of the possible tinctures is taken orally 5 drops up to 6 times a day.
Wormwood tincture can be prepared in oil, alcohol or cognac. For the oil tincture you need 25 grams of wormwood seeds and 0, 5 cups of olive oil. The seeds are crushed in a coffee grinder and placed in a glass jar scalded with boiling water. Pour olive oil on top of the seeds, mix everything and cover with a tight lid. The mixture is infused for three days in a cool place, filtered and ready for use.
Alcoholic tincture is prepared from 100 grams of wormwood powder on the basis of plant leaves crushed in a blender and 0, 5 liters of vodka. Everything is mixed and poured into a glass for 10-14 days, then filtered and used according to instructions. The tincture should be stored in the refrigerator.
To prepare wormwood tincture on cognac you will need 50 grams of chopped plant root and a glass of cognac. The ingredients are mixed and sent to a water bath to evaporate for 30 minutes. After that, the product is filtered and sent to a dark place for 5 days.
You can also prepare an herbal infusion for the treatment of papillomas, for which horsetail, lemon balm, dandelion root, plantain and nettle are mixed in equal proportions (1 teaspoon each). The mixture is crushed, then 3 tablespoons of herbs are poured over a liter of boiling water and all this is boiled for 10 minutes on low heat. After removing the infusion from the heat, it must be insisted for several hours.
The finished tincture is used before meals for ¼ glasses for 7 days. The tool strengthens the immune system, which in turn enhances the self-absorption of the papilloma.
Healing Soda
Baking soda has long been used to treat many skin problems at home, including papillomas. The characteristic of soda is its ability to alkalize the acidic environment, which causes the strengthening of immunity, removal of toxins, and creates unfavorable conditions for bacteria and pathogenic microbes. As a result, viruses in the body stop multiplying and die. The antiseptic and disinfectant effect of soda is also known, which is also useful in the treatment of papillomas. Soda is able to soften tissues, eliminate the symptoms of the virus and its manifestation - education. Soda for the treatment of HPV is used internally, in the form of inhalations and topical lotions.
To prevent tumor malignancy and neoplasm degeneration into cancer, some traditional healers suggest drinking a solution of soda in milk. It is prepared from 1 cup of warm boiled milk and ¼ a teaspoon of baking soda. The solution is used three times a day, with each subsequent intake the mass fraction of soda increases slightly until its concentration in milk reaches 1 tbsp. However, drinking a solution of baking soda is not allowed for those who have pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
Before using this recipe, it is best to consult a doctor.
Soda-based inhalation is a gentler immunostimulatory technique. For inhalation, boil 1 liter of water, add 3 teaspoons of baking soda to boiling water, stir, bend over the bowl, put a towel on your head to prevent steam from escaping and inhale the soda vapor until the water cools. Inhalations are performed several times a day for 5 days.
Laundry soap
Washing soap acts on the skin in a drying way - it extracts moisture from them, leads to drying and gradual cell death. This property is very useful in removing papillomas at home. Moisture inside the cells of the neoplasm contributes to its vital activity, and if it stops flowing, the wart will dry out and disappear.
The most common way to treat papillomas with washing soap is nocturnal application in the area of the neoplasm. After bathing, the area with the papilloma is moistened and rubbed copiously with washing soap without damaging the lumps.
After applying a thick layer of soap, you have to wait for it to dry and you can go to bed. Rinse the soap with plain water in the morning and repeat the procedure in the evening.
Specificity of treatment in women
Lesion of internal and external genital organs
In modern medicine, therapy for papillomatosis in women is carried out according to various methods, but it is still impossible to completely eliminate HPV from the body. Therefore, each treatment is aimed at individually removing the clinical signs of the disease.
There are many similarities in the treatment of HPV of the internal and external genitalia of women. The only difference is that when tumors are detected on the external genitalia, specialists can prescribe immunomodulatory agents in one direction, and with HPV on the internal genital organs (mucous membranes) stronger drugs are used to prevent the development of oncopathology.
Treatment of genital papillomatosis in women can be carried out by destructive and therapeutic methods. The required method must be chosen by a specialist in each specific case.
Intraductal papillomas
Since intraductal papillomas are classified by experts as precancerous conditions of the mammary glands, the characteristic of their treatment is the use of exclusively surgical methods. In the case of papillary cystadenoma, surgeons perform a sectoral resection of the mammary glands, while removing tissue with modified ducts. Such an operation is performed with a periareolar incision, which enables the preservation of the shape and size of the breast in the future without the use of mammoplasty.
If a woman is diagnosed with intraductal papillary cancer, then a radical mastectomy is performed.
To prevent breast oncology, doctors recommend regular mammograms, treatment of early-stage mastopathy, and careful attention to dyshormonal and inflammatory pathologies in the female genital area.
Treatment for men
Treatment of HPV with manifestations on the male genital organs is carried out with drugs and surgical means. Drug therapy in this case is designed to suppress the virus, bring it into an anabiotic state and help strengthen the immune system.
Even small papillomas on the male genitals do not go away on their own, so it is common to remove them surgically:
- electrocoagulation by electric current;
- freezing with liquid nitrogen - cryodestruction;
- using a laser;
- by the method of radiosurgery - a non-contact method based on exposure to radio waves of a certain frequency;
- by cauterization method with special chemical solutions;
- conventional surgical scalpel excision;
- using grease that can remove lumps.
The method of removing papillomas on the male genital organs is selected individually, depending on the characteristics of the course of infection. All of the above methods of destruction are recognized by physicians as reliable and can be performed without the use of general anesthesia.
What to do if the papilloma is damaged
In case of damage to the surface of the papilloma, an inflammatory process can begin in the affected tissues. Externally, this will be manifested in discoloration of the clumps, swelling, redness, burning and itching of the formation. Ichor begins to leak from the wound, mixed with pus or serous fluid with an unpleasant odor. If the state of immunity is in a satisfactory state, soon the place of tears will dry up and no deviations will be seen. However, otherwise there is a risk of malignant tumors.
Rough trauma (burns, scratches, scratches) can cause the spread of HPV to adjacent tissues and the growth of new formations. Such a process has an even greater predisposition for oncological degeneration.
If the papilloma is still injured, it is necessary to quickly apply a sterile bandage or cotton swab, which was previously moistened in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, and maintain such application for at least 10-15 minutes. After stopping the blood, the wound is treated with alcohol to disinfect the skin surface and prevent infection and fungi from entering the wound. In the absence of alcohol, disinfection is carried out with iodine or brilliant green paint, although these means will interfere with monitoring the condition of the wound in the future.
In case of significant bleeding due to papilloma damage, angioma trauma is diagnosed - proliferation of blood vessels of benign character. Angioma damage is not dangerous; as a result of such pathology, oncology does not develop.
Where to go in case of illness
If you find various formations on the skin in the first stage, you must visit a dermatologist. This doctor will perform the necessary diagnosis, determine the type of virus, and determine further patient procedures.
Most often, dermatologists believe that the earlier the papilloma is removed, the lower the risk of developing dangerous consequences, but everything is individual. The dermatologist will tell the patient which specialist will need to be removed and which technique is better to give preference in this particular case. The doctor will also determine a further treatment regimen, after which it will already be possible to go for a consultation with a surgeon.
If papillomas occur in the genital area, seek the advice of a dermatovenerologist. If the formations are localized in the anus, the proctologist will deal with the treatment of such pathology. In the case of papillomas on the mucosa of the ENT organs or oral cavity, the patient is referred to an otolaryngologist. Genital papillomas in men are treated by a urologist or dermatovenerologist, and in women a gynecologist deals with these problems.
