What are the symptoms of papillomas?
The causes of papillomas are identical to allsexually transmitted diseases. The most common cause is promiscuous sex. It is almost impossible to get infected after a single sexual act with a sick person, and frequent sexual intercourse with an infected person is a 100% guarantee that you will catch the virus. As soon as the virus enters the body of a healthy person, it provokes rapid division and growth in skin cells (in the intimate area). After some time, a small growth can be noticed with the naked eye during a simple examination. Wet underwear can retain the papilloma virus for a long time, this should be taken into account if there is an infected person in your family. It is strictly forbidden to use a common towel in the bathroom. For the same reason, you cannot use washcloths, both at home and in public places: baths, saunas. The likelihood that an infected person visited the bathhouse before you is always high. You can avoid infection by using personal hygiene items and bedding. The risk of contracting papilloma is especially high in people who have recently had infectious diseases (genital herpes, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, etc.). Stress, low immunity due to frequent pregnancies, hormonal imbalances, and regular use of contraceptives are also common causes that increase the risk of contracting papilloma.
How to cure the papilloma?
If personal hygiene rules andit so happened that the virus entered the body and manifested itself in the intimate area, then you should immediately seek specialized help. Self-treatment is not a way out of this situation. As practice shows, venereal diseases are similar to each other, and it is quite possible that you will confuse it with another disease and, as a result, choose the wrong solution to combat the neoplasm. In the cervix and vagina, it is impossible to detect the virus during a simple examination. But you may feel itching and burning. In this case, an examination by a gynecologist is required, which should be carried out once every six months to a year (even if there are no signs of the virus) for prevention. Today, medicine offers a new way to remove papillomas in intimate places - laser removal. Such treatment can only be carried out in the acute stage. The papilloma can be removed, while the depth of its location is not so important. The advantage of the method is the absence of scars after the procedure, and if bleeding occurs during the operation, it can be stopped immediately. The method has no disadvantages, except for cases when healthy tissue is affected, in which case the treatment after surgery and the healing process may be a little delayed. Another method of fighting the virus is cryotherapy. Many beauty salons and medical institutions offer treatment with this method. Using liquid nitrogen, the papilloma is cauterized on visible areas of the skin. It is simply impossible to cauterize the tumor in the vagina and cervix. A special radio wave device can also remove the papilloma without a trace. The waves that affect the papilloma do not affect the surrounding tissues, so healing after the procedure usually lasts no more than 2-3 days. Such radio exposure eliminates the recurrence and appearance of papillomas. There are many types of papillomas, and if in less advanced cases you can get rid of the neoplasm with celandine infusion, regularly lubricating the affected area of the skin, then in other cases, surgery may be required. After removing the papillomas, you need to beware of a relapse. It would be a good idea to consult an immunologist who will prescribe you a course of immunomodulators. Remember, sexually transmitted diseases do not go away "on their own." Viruses of this kind are much more serious than the common flu. And if the flu can be treated at home, without the intervention of specialists, then the treatment of papilloma requires a special approach that you cannot carry out yourself. Qualified help will help you get rid of the disease much faster and prevent its recurrence in the future. Treatment of sexually transmitted diseases cannot be postponed until tomorrow, when the first symptoms appear, consult a specialist!
