Human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most common viral agents on Earth.
According to medical statistics, 80% to 90% of all people on the planet are carriers of HPV, many of whom are not even aware of the presence of the papilloma virus in their own body. This is due to the fact that, penetrating the patient's blood, HPV can remain in a latent (inactive) state for a long time, slowly affecting the basal cells of the epidermis, and not manifesting itself visually. We will try to consider the mechanisms of infection and symptoms of the disease, and discover how to quickly and effectively cure the human papilloma virus.
How is the human papilloma virus transmitted?
Answering the current question of how you can become infected with the human papilloma virus, it is necessary to mention three main mechanisms of penetration of the viral agent into the body:
- Contact mode- direct contact with the user's epidermis. The risk group is masseurs, cosmetologists, dermatologists, etc. ;
- Mediated (home) mechanism- includes the transmission of papilloma virus through household items - towels, combs, public transport handrails, etc. ;
- The sexual path- unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, gives almost one hundred percent probability of penetration of papilloma virus into the body, while subtypes of pathogens such as human papilloma virus type 31 in women can be transmitted with the use of condoms.
Symptoms of human papilloma virus in men and women may not appear until certain conditions or conditions appear. Such factors are considered secondary causes of papilloma virus:
- Decreased immune function;
- Violation of skin integrity - injuries, microcracks, scratches, wounds, etc. ;
- Stress and neuro-emotional overload;
- Weakening of the body in the background of an inflammatory or infectious process;
- Hormonal disorders;
- Violation of the rules of personal hygiene.
The only sign of papilloma virus can be considered the creation of specific skin neoplasms, which are mostly benign, but require mandatory medical supervision. In the presence of at least one of the above factors, skin growths appear within 1-6 months after the initial infection of the patient. This is how long the papilloma virus incubation period lasts.
Why are different types of human papilloma virus dangerous?
To determine how to get rid of human papilloma virus and whether it is worthwhile to implement therapeutic measures at all, we will understand what this viral agent can be dangerous and how serious the consequences can be. People often do not pay due attention to such skin growths as papillomas and warts, considering them harmless defects. Only the noticeable (frontal) localization of the neoplasm, which brings aesthetic problems, can encourage the patient to visit specialists. Meanwhile, some types of human papillomavirus are considered precancerous conditions and can transform into malignant tumors.
Modern medicine has about 120 types of papilloma virus, which determine the localization, size and oncogenicity of epidermal growth. We will try to find out which species can be considered only an aesthetic defect, and which require urgent treatment:
- Papilloma virus 1, 2, 4 types.The viral agent leads to the formation of plantar warts, which over time can grow and spread to healthy tissues, making it difficult for the patient to move;
- Papilloma virus 2, 4, 26, 27, 29, 57 species.It provokes the formation of ordinary or vulgar warts, which most often affect the skin of the hands.
- Papilloma virus 3, 10, 28, 49 species.This is the main reason for the appearance of flat warts, which most often affect children and adolescents, which is why they got another name - youthful;
- HPV type 7.It forms special papillomas on the hands of an infected person, which are called "butcher's nipples";
- Papilloma virus 2, 3, 5, 8-10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 36, 37, 46, 47 and 50 types.Numerous group of viral agents that cause verruciform epidermodysplasia, and are extremely benign formations;
- Human papilloma virus 6 and 11, as well as 42 and 54 types.A more dangerous group of HPV, which forms genital warts on the genitals and mucous membranes. Such growths may undergo malignant transformation;
- Papilloma virus 16, 18 and most subspecies of 30-67 types.This group of viral agents has a high level of oncogenicity, which is manifested in relation to the internal genital organs. Thus, papilloma virus type 33 in women, as well as papilloma virus type 18 cause the formation of flat warts and cervical dysplasia, which can lead to cancer of the cervical canal;
- Papilloma virus type 51, as well as types 45, 52, 54, 56, 66, 68.Human papilloma virus type 52 and other aggressive agents of this group can cause cancer of the cervix or vagina, as well as oncology of the external genitalia and anus.
It should be borne in mind that these are not all subtypes of HPV that are known to science, but the above varieties can certainly be attributed to the most common.
How to determine human papilloma virus in women and in the stronger sex?
Diagnosis is a mandatory step in going to the doctor in case of papilloma formation on the skin or mucous membranes. This is due to the risk of confusing the papilloma with another skin problem. Although in most cases asymptomatic, the human papilloma virus in women is often detected only by a planned or caused by another reason, a gynecological examination.
Skin growths can be distinguished by a simple examination, which is confirmed by microscopic analysis of epithelial scrapings. At the same time, the final diagnosis can be made only after PCR diagnosis, which enables the determination of the presence of papilloma virus in the patient's blood. If a malignant course of genital papillomas is suspected, an additional examination - tissue biopsy - is often prescribed.
Human papilloma virus - treatment
When answering the question of how to cure the papilloma virus, it should initially be assumed that simply removing the skin neoplasm does not solve the problem once and for all, because the viral agent remains in the blood. Unfortunately, medicine to date has not developed an effective method for complete cleansing of the human body from the virus, however, strengthening the immunity and rational hygienic care do not allow HPV to actively multiply and be accompanied by the creation of skin defects.
There are two main directions for papilloma removal of different localization:
- Treatment of human papilloma virus with folk remedies;
- Hardware removal of benign neoplasms.
Treatment of papilloma virus with folk remedies
Folk recipes suggest the use of fresh juice of celandine, as well as solutions of iodine and vinegar as a means of burning papillomas. Such methods are based on the simple application of the agent to the neoplasm with its subsequent rejection. It should be borne in mind that this practice is of limited effectiveness and can lead to scarring or scarring. A gentler option is to regularly apply sliced garlic to the skin growth, which may not give the desired result, but will certainly not harm the patient’s health.
Use decoctions and infusions of plants such as wormwood, dandelion, tricolor violet, etc. , It allows you to strengthen the immune system and provide natural resistance to HPV. Treatment of human papilloma virus at home can also be done with the help of special pharmacy ointments, creams and patches.
How to cure human papilloma by hardware methods
Modern medicine offers several effective hardware options for removing the papilloma virus from a patient, however, laser destruction of neoplasms is considered the "gold standard" in this regard. The method is effective, painless and simple. The manipulation lasts only a few minutes without affecting the surrounding epidermal structures. This approach will not only protect the patient from unwanted scars and scars, but will also significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
