Condylomies during pregnancy and their treatment

First, you need to acquire the necessary knowledge.and learn about condylomas in general. Condyloma is a growth on the skin (or genital warts) and it can be of various types, which will already indicate the onset of an inflammatory process. The disease itself is viral, and the causative agent is the papilloma virus, which can be carried by a person. Condylomas during pregnancy can cause infection of newborn children and the development of an infection of the papilloma virus and condylomas in them from early childhood, so treatment should be carried out immediately after the slightest suspicion. And all this can be because the expectant mother did not carry out proper treatment and did not take care of the future.

Causes and known viruses

Causes of condyloma duringpregnancy can be different - from simple non-observance of hygiene to close contact with a person who is a carrier of this virus. The period when a woman or any other person is infected with this virus and until the moment when pointed condylomas begin to appear can be very long - at least from a week, and at most - up to several years. The size of these pointed inflammations is from one millimeter to one centimeter, or even more. The rash occurs gradually, acquiring a shade similar to cauliflower, so treatment requires prompt and thorough. In total, medicine knows about 100 types of viruses that can be contracted by carrying papilloma. Some affect the human urogenital system, others - the skin, but most often the first. The papilloma virus itself can prevail not only on the skin of the human genitourinary system and its mucous membranes, but also in the urine itself or saliva. Usually, when a woman is infected with this virus, she may be susceptible to damage to the organs of the frenulum of the labia, labia majora and minora, clitoris, external opening of the urethra, vestibule of the vagina, hymen and cervix. Also, condylomas, in particular pointed condylomas, may also appear around the anus, but this can be prevented if treatment is carried out in time. In women, condylomas during pregnancy and in general cases can cause a clinical form of the disease, which can result in large condylomas. This can be caused by a change in hormonal levels, leading to increased blood circulation in the tissues, which disrupts the indicators and their relationship to the vaginal microbiocenosis, and this in turn affects the activity and functionality of the immune system. Before pregnancy, it is imperative to undergo an examination for any infection with HPV viruses.

Methods of treatment of the virus

Treat pregnant women who are infected with the viruspapillomas, if the disease was nevertheless detected during pregnancy, it should be done in the first trimester. If exophytic condylomas were detected, they should be removed immediately, because if they are not removed and treatment is not started, the virus will only continue to develop, and they will continue to grow in size. And this is fraught, if not for the life of the patient, then for the pregnancy process and for the fetus for sure. When passing through the birth canal, the child may become infected, which will result in subsequent damage to the larynx with papillomatosis. Removal of condylomas is not a very pleasant process, but it is still worthwhile to carry out treatment, as this will save the life of both the fetus and the mother herself. After the virus is removed from the labia or vagina, constant monitoring by a doctor will be required until the very birth. It is also necessary to conduct a constant examination, which must identify any cases of relapse. And along with the removal, it is also necessary to treat the pelvic organs for their inflammation and normalization of the vaginal microflora. Usually, treatment and elimination of this virus is done with the help of surgical methods. And the first of them is cryotherapy, which means removal of existing condylomas with the use of liquid nitrogen, which is applied directly to them. After that, the condyloma dies, and later - falls off by itself. This method is very effective, but the qualification of the attending physician must be very high. The second method is laser therapy. In this case, a beam of rays is used, which can simply burn out the condyloma itself. This method is the most modern, but not cheap. And finally, the third - removal of condylomas with radio waves or a radio knife. This method is used very widely, is the most effective, but very painful, since it is carried out only under local anesthesia.
