Doctors recommend removing all skin neoplasms, explaining this by the fact that theyelimination (destruction) will stop the spread of the papillomavirus among people and prevent the development of possible complications.
However, it is up to everyone to decide whether or not to remove the papilloma.
But there are conditions under which the removal of papillomas should be done as soon as possible. These include:
- Infection of the papilloma after injury with the development of bacterial inflammation;
- Changes in the appearance of the wart: deformation, ulceration, spontaneous decay, indicating its possible malignancy (degeneration of benign cells into malignant cells);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without the detection of oncogenic types of HPV.
Features of the treatment of papillomas
The difference in the treatment of papillomavirus manifestations occurs only with the development of genital warts in the perineum and in the genital area. In case of damage to other parts of the body, all methods and means are identical: physical removal of papillomas with the use of concomitant antiviral and immunostimulating treatment.
Before removing the papilloma, it is necessary to examine the tissues for the presence of malignant cells.
Treatment of papillomas in women
When the skin of the lips and perineum is affected, the methods of removing genital warts, in general, do not differ from the generally accepted ones.. At the same time, the development of papillomas in the cervix and vaginal walls requires a special approach.
A gynecologist deals with the problems of manifestation of papilloma infection of the internal female genital organs. If necessary, a consultation with an oncologist is provided. Pharmacological treatment involves complex antiviral and immunostimulating therapy, which is performed only after the removal of genital warts and / or erosions.
The removal itself consists of taking a tissue sample for histological examination and, more often, for electrocoagulation or laser removal.
Important! It is this method that allows the most qualitative elimination of cervical erosion in the initial stages and papillomas of the vaginal walls.
Treatment of papillomas in men
The principle of treatment is the same: removal of papillomas, anti-inflammatory treatment and increased immunity with the help of immunomodulators.
Treatment of papillomas in case of development of genital warts on the penis and scrotum, depending on the severity, can be managed by both a urologist and a dermatologist.
Almost all common methods can be used to eliminate neoplasms.. . . However, surgical excision is only done in cases of suspected precancerous conditions (Keir's erythroplasia, Bowen's disease) or cancer.
The elimination of glans genital warts is desirable using high-precision techniques, in particular a laser or radio waves.

Electrocoagulation
Cauterization of papillomas using high temperatures is widely used for their localization in the vagina, erosion of the cervix. The method affects all layers of the mucous membranes and skin, whichparticularly effective in the treatment of precancerous conditions.
Medical treatment

- Keratolytics: salicylic acid; 13-cis-retinoic acid: contributes to the rejection of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, exfoliates the skin together with the microorganisms that cause pathologies.
- Immunostimulators: vitamins A, E, C; ginseng (extract) - boosts immunity to successfully resist the virus.
- Antiviral: interferon alfa-2b - affects some types of pathogens.
