Papillomes (HPV)

The papilloma is a benign neoplasm caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) and derives from various parts of the body: under the mice, on the vocal cords, on the genitals, on the eyelids, on the neck, in the bladder, on the mucous nose and on the mouth.

Top-5 terrible facts that you should know about the HPV

1. Scientists discovered more than 190 types of HPV. Of these, at least 13 types are the cause of cancer tumors.
2. In 2011, Australian scientists conducted a study, after which they established the connection of breast cancer with HPV.
3. Cervical carcinoma (or RSM) in 100% of cases occurs on the basis of exposure to HPV.
4. By the end of 2013, the vaccination against HPV was introduced in 55 countries.
5. Today there are no drugs and methods that remove the 100%body virus.

What's talking about? At least the fact that the HPV is not harmless that appear on the skin. If you have many papillomas, we advise you to undergo special exams and be careful of well -being.

Variety of papillomas. Almost more than 190 types

Covering and describing all types is difficult. Therefore, in the article we collected the most common.

• Simple (ordinary, vulgar). It appears like a round papule of the size of a pin in pin, as they grow, they acquire a rough surface. Often 1 wart appears first, and others arise around it over time, over the years there are more and more. This type of warts appears on the palms, fingers and legs, on the feet and on the soles, on the forehead, on the lips and on the chin. The treatment is rather complicated.
• Film (acrochordus). They are caused by 2 and 7 types of viruses, arise on the eyelids, under the mammary glands, on the neck, in the inguinal region and others. They are the most common, found in women and men. At the first stage a seal of a yellowish tint appears, after 1-4 weeks it extends. Acrochordus can have an elongated or round shape, it almost always seemed to be "hanging" on a thin leg. In most cases, people with weakened immunity occur, as well as in those over the age of 40.
• Dish. They are found in groups in different parts of the body: around the anus, on the genitals, on the face, on the back; Often the papillomas are found on the cervix and the surface of other organs. The appearance recalls the warts or large convex moles; The growths have brown shades, sand or dark brown; "Rise" under the surface of the skin of about 0, 5-2, 5 mm.
• Sharp condition. Separate growths have an acute shape and a pink tint. Very often, the condition are "united" in great growth, which apparently remembers a ridge of a cock or turkey nose. Sharpies are transmitted only sexually, therefore they are often found on the cervix, the mucous membrane of the genitals, on the penis, in the urethra and in other areas. The danger of Condils lies in their destructive character and instant distribution.

Causes. How, where and why do they appear?

The natural reason for the appearance of unpleasant broods and exclusions is the HPV (aka of human Papillomavirus). The prevalence of virus carriers in the human population exceeds 60 %. This means that almost every second is a potential bearer of the virus.

The methods for spreading the virus are as follows:

• Sexual. The virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse, pointed conditions appear on the body (they are also Angenital warts).
• During childbirth. During the birth, the body of the newborn "clings" the virus and after the children they have warts and papillomas. They can usually be found in a child at the age of several months.
• In everyday life, in public transport and in other public places. The virus can freely exist in toilets, on handrails and public transport seats, on clothes and shoes, products for several days. The human body enters through damage, wounds and cracks on the skin. Be careful when you visit bathrooms, swimming pools, saunas.
• When you lead certain procedures. For example, you can "collect" HPV during shaving or hair removal.

Don't hide from the virus, don't hide. True, there are also positive news: in 90% of cases, the body is able to cope with the HPV. Without pills, without injections, without surgery.

Diagnosis of types of papillomas

The diagnosis includes at least 7 procedures used to detect HPV in the body, determine their type, treatment method/elimination:

1. Clinical inspection. At the reception of a specialist, all types of growths on the patient's body are revealed. The doctor examines them and takes notes. If anogenital warts are found, a visit to the gynecologist is assigned to examine the conditions of the cervix; Men can appoint urethroscopy.
2. Calpopy. It is a diagnostic examination of the female genital organs that use a special device - Colposcope. The usual colposcopy does not involve the use of drugs and drugs, it is not entirely effective. Kolpostcopy with drugs allows you to detect the virus and its manifestations. For the procedure, a test with acetic acid is used (or acetic acid test).
3. Cytological study. The classification is performed based on the Pap -Smear test so called, which includes 5 classes. The first is a normal cytological picture, the fifth is a huge amount of atypical cells (which can cause cancer).
4. Histological study. During its participation, the deep areas of the Malpight layers are examined for the development of koilocytes in them.
5. Singing PCR. Thanks to the procedure, you can find individual types of viruses. But there is a less: in 20% of cases, typing provides a false result (due to the fact that the infection is in the short term). But the study is very important when diagnosing the virus and other diseases.
6. Digen Test (or screening test). The procedure is used all over the world to quickly detect high virus concentrations in the body. The digen test is popular because it guarantees the accuracy of the study.
7. Polyimerase chain reaction (or PCR). It allows you to detect not only the virus, but also other sexual transmission diseases.

Why are papillomas dangerous?

The small "wart" that appeared on your body does not attract attention, but is full of great danger. Papillomes can cause terrible diseases:

• Cervix devuplasia.

• Cervical cancer (RSM).
• Carcinoma.
• Oral cavity cancer.
• Impotence.
• Of course, signs of asthma (especially in small children).
• Throat cancer.
• Mucose injuries.
• Bowan disease.
• Oral cavity cancer.

The wart "located" on the forehead, on the chin or above the lip, lowers your self -esteem and attracts excessive attention from others. The papilloma can grow on the internal shell of the century, so there will be a constant feeling of "sorcini in the eyes", the beauty of the eye bulbs and the pinch.

"Holless" can cause aesthetic and psychological problems. But their main danger are health problems (up to cancer and precancerous conditions).

Treatment and removal of papillomas. How is it done?

It is important to understand: it is not possible to destroy the HPV. All we can do today is to eliminate its manifestations (in the form of warts, papillomas and other bruises on the body). They are the ones who cause precancerous conditions and cancer tumors (and not HPV! ). There are times when HPV lived in the body of a 20-30 year carrier, but it has not shown himself on the skin.

General therapy through antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs is prescribed in rare cases. Doctors prescribe these drugs if they deal with highly non -nonconcogenic types of viruses.

In most cases, drugs on medicinal herbs are clear, it is sufficient to drink them once a year, quickly suppress the human papillomavirus.

To remove the affected fabrics, in official medicine, the following methods are used:

• Surgical removal. It is an extreme measure in the fight against warts and papillomas. It is usually used if growth has become too large. Removal requires the preparation of the patient, high qualifications of the attending physician, the use of local anesthesia. After the procedure, a seam is applied to combine fabrics. The skin heals after 3-4 weeks, but a scar can remain.
• Electrocoagulation. The procedure that implies the effect on the growth of electric shocks. It is necessary to "burn" not the entire area concerned, but only its foundations. The main advantage of the procedure is that the vases are well sealed, there is practically no blood. The restore of the skin occurs after 7-10 days, the risk of scar formation is minimal.
• Laser photocoagulation (laser removal). It provides for the impact on the bursting of growth with a laser beam. Laser photocoagulation is performed without anesthesia, performed in a few minutes, form rough crusts on the skin (they fall quickly without leaving a track). The risk of scars is reduced, the procedure allows you to quickly remove the accumulation of warts or a condoms. The only negative is the high cost of the operation.
• Cauterization with nitrogen (cryodestrection). For the procedure, a small drop of liquid nitrogen is required, which enters the wart and instantly destroys its protein structure. It allows you to get rid of unpleasant growth in 7-10 days. The cauterization of nitrogen (cryodestrection) is considered an economic and effective way, but with a great defeat, different sessions may be needed. The method is actively used in state medical institutions and private clinics, health centers and aesthetics. His only less is the risk of a growth of growth, if the specialist has not burned it completely.

• Radio surgery. It is not used in all cases, it is produced using SCROGRON EQUIPMENT. The method appeared not long ago, allows you to remove all the unpleasant growth painless and quickly. But so far, radio surgery is available for a few due to the high cost of equipment and the high price of the service.
• Method of chemical destruction. To perform the procedure, "core" chemicals and acids are used. These compounds are applied to the surface of principal, warts or papillomas without the use of special equipment. The method is cheap, but relatively effective.

Treatment and removal of folk methods

If you are afraid to go to the doctor, if you have no money for expensive operations, you can try treatment and removal with folk methods. We have selected the most effective ways to remove papillomas on their own, read them on this page: removal of papillomas at home.

How not to infect HPV? Prevention and important information

So far, scientists are working on the creation of a universal medicine to combat the disease. Among the prevention measures is:

• Barrier contraception (condom). Use this method to protect you from transmitted HPV.
• The vaccine developed in the United States, since 2006 it has been used to protect the girls from RSHM caused by the virus; It's expensive.
• Hygiene at the family level. You can live with a Ferebat of Person-Virus, but he doesn't even know. Therefore, take care of hygiene in everyday life.
• Hygiene in public places. The virus is transmitted through wounds, cracks and damage to the skin. If you have them, refuse to visit public places (or at least protect the areas concerned with a patch).

We hope you now know about HPV everything!
