It is well known that various neoplasms on the skin in many cases are caused by the human papillomavirus.Today, more than 600 strains of this pathogen have been identified.Some cause the appearance of warts, others - condylines, others can cause a malignant tumor.This is why, before removing the neoplasm in a cosmetic living room, you must undergo an exam by a dermatologist.
The causes of papillomas occur
It is believed that human papillomavirus is infected up to 70% of the total population of the planet.According to the results of the analysis, it becomes clear that a person is immediately infected with 20 strains of the virus.But often, the virus has not been showing itself for a long time, especially if a person has good immunity.
Infection by one of the STP strains occurs more often with direct contact with the aircraft carrier of the virus, in which the pathogen can enter the microtraume on the skin and the mucous membranes.The neoplasm is formed directly instead of penetration of the virus into the body.The anogenital form of the disease is transmitted during intercourse, in this case, the papules are formed in the folds of the skin of the crotch, on the mucous membranes of the vagina and the cervix, in the rectum, the urethra and the bladder, and in men on the head of the penis.Outside, sharp condylomas are mainly formed and on the internal organs - flat papillomas.In the same way, the oral cavity can be infected.In this case, laryngeal papillomatosis occurs, affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and the throat.
A newborn can be infected with the HPV of a mother when the birth channel passes.At the same time, anogenital papillomatosis occurs most often in a child, whose tension is the most aggressive, or laryngeal, which can considerably damage the child's vocal apparatus in the future and can even threaten life in serious cases due to the obstruction of the respiratory tract.
However, to infect the HPV, it is not at all necessary to contact the carrier directly.The virus may exist for a certain time outside the body of the carrier and be transmitted by household items or in public places.In other words, it is sometimes enough to keep the handrail in public transport, then to touch the face so that in a year or two, a neoplasm appears at this place.
Since the papillomavirus incubation period is quite long, from the moment of infection to the appearance of clinical signs, several months or even years can spend.Usually the virus is activated and begins to manifest itself in the form of neoplasms when immunity is reduced.This is why the treatment should include not only the elimination of visible manifestations of HPV, but also systemic immune therapy.
Types of neoplasms caused by HPV
Not all clinical manifestations of papillomatosis are the same.Today, around 90 HPV strains are characterized and correlated and correlated with certain types of neoplasms.According to external manifestations of the disease, the following types of papillomas are distinguished:
- Plantar papillomas, often called warts;
- Simple or vulgar papillomas;
- Flat papillomas;
- spicy condylomas;
- Film Papillomas.
Subadoraine warts
As its name suggests, plantar warts are formed on the skin of the feet and are characterized by internal growth, which distinguishes them from other types of neoplasms.Usually they are single, but in the absence of treatment, they can reach impressive sizes, causing considerable discomfort.
Vulgar papillomas
Vulgar papillomas are also often called warts in everyday life.They come from a small tuber, gradually increasing and darkened due to keratinization, can merge with each other in an uncertain form.Papillomas of this type are most often located on the skin of the hands, less often on the knees, face, neck, back.Like the plantaries, they can take place alone.
Flat gaps
The flat papillomas rise slightly above the skin and their surface has a nodular structure.These neoplasms are not sensitive to keratinization (keratinization) of the surface, they therefore generally retain the color of healthy tissues or become slightly darker.They can appear on the face in the eyes and on the chin, as well as on the bottom of the leg, arms, back.The itching becomes a frequent symptom of vulgar papillomas.Such neoplasm themselves do not pass and the doctor must make a precise diagnosis.
Acidyloma
Apparently pointed condylomas are similar to cauliflower.Simple neoplasms develop on a thin leg, gradually merging with each other into large growth.Condylomas are located in the anogenital region:
- on external and internal genitals;
- Outside and inside the anus;
- in the perianal fold;
- In the urethra and the bladder.
These neoplasms are precancerous and are therefore subject to compulsory elimination with subsequent therapy according to test results.Just say that with cervical cancer in almost 80% of cases, the human papillomavirus of this type reveals.
Papilloma movie
Cinema papillomas, otherwise called acrochics, develop on a thin leg, which is why they are easy to tear them away, and are mainly single, less often in groups.Their main places of location are their face in the eye and nose, inguinal folds, axillary areas and under the chest of women.Usually they have an elastic oblong form without keratinization.With friction, clothes can cause discomfort and damage.The acrochords mainly cause aesthetic discomfort and are subject to a malignant tumor in rare cases.
Diagnosis of papillomas
No matter how much you want to get rid of the boring papilloma faster and at home, and even better - with the help of certain folk remedies, don't rush!An independent selection of procedures can lead to deplorable results.Make sure to visit the district clinic.
In a remunerated clinic, for your money, they will cut / exhaust you / freeze anything without unnecessary questions, but there is no guarantee of making a precise diagnosis, and therefore the lack of unwanted consequences.
Only a qualified specialist can establish a precise diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.Make sure to hand over the prescribed tests by the doctor before getting rid of neoplasms.First of all, you must get a consultation:
- gynecologist or urologist when neoplasms appear in the perineum;
- Oto-Rhino-Laryngologist in the event of suspicion of papillomatosis of the mucosa or the throat;
- Dermatologist - In all other cases.
Based on the results of the clinical inspection, the doctor may prescribe if necessary:
- Cells for cytological research;
- tissue fence for histology;
- Stracage for PCR analysis;
- Material for Digi-Test.
All these methods in one way or another allow you to determine the risk of development of oncopathology.After deleting the neoplasms by any method, this indicator will be impossible to determine.In this case, the probability of undesirable consequences increases.
Ways to remove papillomas
The choice of the method of eliminating papillomas will depend on the diagnosis and the location of neoplasms.
Chemical destruction
It is carried out using acid -based special liquid drugs or alkali creams.These drugs are sold in a pharmacy as a doctor.
This method can be used to eliminate only vulgar (wart) papillomas on the hands.
However, the slightest inaccuracy in the use of chemotherapy can cause a burn of healthy tissue or an incomplete elimination of the neoplasm.The use of these tools is painful, requires a lot of time, does not give a guaranteed result and can lead to the formation of nonontic scars instead of neoplasm.
Cryodestruction
A long and well established method to eliminate neoplasms using exposure to extremely low temperatures, to which defeat for a short period acts with liquid nitrogen or another refrigerant.
The refrigerant device does not require preliminary anesthesia, because the application is painless, although the patient can feel a slight tingling or a burn.However, after the operation, during the "defrosting" of the tissues, acute pain occurs, which can last up to a day.This is a normal phenomenon.
After a few hours, redness and swelling form around the damage, and a subcutaneous bubble filled with liquid forms after a day.The rehabilitation period lasts a week, for which edema and hyperemia disappear, and the bubble breaks alone.After that, it is necessary to apply an antiseptic drug prescribed by a specialist.
The death of tissues under the river continues for three weeks, which ensures reliable destruction of infected tissues.The wound healing occurs in 1.5 months, and completely the trace disappears over six months, during which it is necessary to protect the skin from the sun and mechanical exposure.
The method is successfully used to eliminate papillomas on the body, in the oral cavity and for the treatment of the cervix.But to eliminate neoplasms on the face and in an intimate area, it is better to use another method.In the first case - due to edema and hyperemia, in the second - due to the increased sensitivity of the genital zone pain.
Radio waves coagulation
The elimination of the neoplasms of the radio station occurs under the influence of a high frequency radiation directed, in which the affected tissue evaporates.The radiotherapy device has several electrodes of various forms and objectives, which the doctor selects according to the shape of the neoplasm.
The procedure takes place under local anesthesia in the form of an injection.With this method, the papillomas are removed quickly, without damaging the healthy tissues, almost not leaving traces.There is no rehabilitation period here, but there are many contraindications to the use of this method.Radio -note is contraindicated in:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- acute inflammatory process;
- diabetes mellitus;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of a cardiac stimulator;
- Oncological diseases of any location.
You cannot use a radio treatment in the event of the possibility of clever papillomas.But in the absence of such, the method is successfully used in any part of the body.According to patients, the most unpleasant of this procedure is an injection of anesthesia.
Laser coagulation
A modern contactless means to eliminate neoplasms using a laser is widespread not so long ago.Experts claim that it is absolutely painless and weak-traumatic, because the infected tissues evaporate without damaging healthy.The procedure takes several minutes and the rehabilitation period lasts 2 weeks, during which you must refrain from swimming in the pool and opening the tanks, avoiding changes in temperature and sun.
The method can cause side effects in the form of prolonged redness of the skin and edema, with thyroid problems, cheloid scars can form.There are many contraindications for this type of treatment:
- diabetes mellitus;
- acute inflammatory process;
- epilepsy;
- violations of endocrine and immune systems;
- Photodermatosis;
- thrombocytopenia and others.
According to patients, the procedure is very unpleasant and painful, and in the process, there is a smell of burnt meat."In addition, healing is long and relapses are possible.
Electrocoagulation
It is used to eliminate small papillomas.Since the essence of the method lies in the thermal destruction of the affected tissue, people are the name of "cauterization".The heated electrode touches the neoplasm and performs coagulation with the vessels, following which a punctual burn forms, which is covered with a dark crust in an hour.In the case of unique papillomas, local anesthesia is used, and with several small neoplasms, it is inappropriate.
The rehabilitation period lasts about a week, for which redness and swelling pass, and dark crusts fall.Currently, it is recommended to take care of the sun and treat the skin with an antiseptic.
The use of this method is possible for any location of neoplasms, and patient examinations indicate its reliability.At a very democratic price for the abolition of a papilloma, the abolition of several neoplasms will cost a penny.
