NipplesIt is a benign tumor caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and occurs in various parts of the body: in the neck, under the arms, in the bladder, in the genitals, in the vocal cords, in the eyelids, in the mucous membranes of the mouth. and nose.
Causes of occurrence
The natural cause of the formation of unpleasant growths and warts is HPV. This virus is very common - it occurs in about 60% of the population.
The virus spreads in the following ways:
- Sexual. . . Through contact, genital warts appear on the body.
- During childbirth. . . When infected during childbirth, papillomas and warts usually appear several months after birth.
- At home. . . The infection occurs at home, in public places and on public transport.
- Below someprocedures. . . For example, you can "pick up" HPV while waxing or shaving.
It is true that, despite the active spread, in 90% of cases, the body can deal with HPV independently.
Why are papillomas dangerous?
Small papillae that appear on the human body do not always attract attention, but even these can be dangerous.
Thus, nipples can cause the development of terrible diseases:
- Carcinoma;
- Cervical cancer (cervical cancer);
- Dysplasia of the cervix.
- Oral cancer?
- Throat cancer
- Shortness of breath and signs of asthma (especially in children).
- Inability;
- Bowen's disease.
- Mucosal lesions.
Developments can cause psychological and aesthetic problems, but the main risk is human health problems (up to precancerous and cancerous conditions).
Diagnostics
The diagnosis of HPV includes at least 7 procedures:
- Clinical examination. . . An examination specialist locates and examines all the growths in the patient's body. If genital warts have been found, men can have a ureteroscopy, women can see a gynecologist for a cervical examination.
- Colposcopy. . . Examination of the female genitals using a special device - colposcope.
- Histology. . . Explore the deep zones of the Malpighian layer and the growth of colocytes.
- Cytological examination. . . The classification is made according to the PAP test - coating, which includes 5 classes. I - the cytological picture is normal, V - a huge number of atypical cells.
- Digene test(screening test). This procedure allows you to quickly detect elevated concentrations of the virus. This test is very accurate.
- PCR typing. . . This procedure allows you to identify individual virus types. However, the method has a drawback: 20% of PCR typing gives a false result (since the infection is short-lived).
- PCR(thepolymerase chain reaction). It allows you to detect not only HPV but also other sexually transmitted diseases.
Treatment
HPV requires careful and careful approach, and before deciding on treatment (disaster), the patient must pass the necessary tests. Sometimes it can turn out that the patient does not need medical intervention - the nipple may disappear over time.
Traditional therapy
It is important to understand that there is no way to completely eliminate HPV. All that can be done is to eliminate the manifestations of the disease (in the form of papillomas, warts and other growths). They are the ones that cause cancers and precancerous conditions (not HPV). HPV can live in the body for up to 30 years without manifesting on the skin.
Treatment with immunomodulatory and antiviral drugs is rarely prescribed. Doctors prescribe such drugs in the case of very oncogenic types of the virus.
Formal medicine offers the following methods for removing damage:
- Surgical removal. . . This is an extreme measure against papillomas and warts. Usually used when there is excessive accumulation. Removal requires prior preparation of the patient, appropriate qualifications of the doctor and use of local anesthesia.
After the operation, a suture is applied to connect the tissues. The skin heals within 3-4 weeks, however, it can remain a scar / scar.
- Electrocoagulation. . . Includes exposure to electric shock at the site of injury. It is necessary to "cauterize" the base of the affected area. The main advantage of this procedure is the precise sealing of the vessels, practically without blood. The skin is restored within 7-10 days with minimal risk of scarring.
- Laser removal (laser coagulation). . . Provides exposure to focused laser beam. The procedure is performed without anesthesia and lasts only a few minutes, leaving a rough crust (they fall quickly and leave no traces).
Laser coagulation has a minimal risk of scarring and allows you to quickly eliminate the accumulation of warts or warts. The only disadvantage of the operation is the high cost.
- Freezing (combustion with nitrogen). . . To perform the procedure, you will need a drop of liquid nitrogen, which, as soon as the wart hits, will immediately destroy its structure. It allows you to get rid of the accumulation in 7-10 days.
Nitrogen cauterization is considered an effective and affordable method, however, if the area is large, several sessions may be needed. The technique is actively used in private and public clinics, beauty and health centers. The only downside is the risk of recurrence if the specialist does not burn the growth to the end.
- Radiosurgery. . . It is performed using special equipment. The method appeared relatively recently, allows you to quickly and painlessly remove all growths. So far, however, radiosurgery is inaccessible due to its high cost.
- Chemical disaster. . . During the execution, "strong" chemicals are used. substances and acids. These compounds are applied to warts, papules or warts without special equipment. This is a cheap method, but it is relatively effective.
Great!During any procedure, there is a risk of damage to adjacent tissues, which threatens the spread of the virus.
Medication
Before deciding to start self-medication, the patient should consult a specialist to prescribe medications that are suitable for home use.
It is important to remember that you can not cut even harmless warts yourself, as the causes are unknown. It is also possible that this will accelerate their growth and increase the risk of HPV degeneration into oncological tumors. When papules appear on mucous membranes (eyes, nose or throat), the study of the cause and treatment should be carried out under the supervision of the treating physician.
There are the following popular ways to get rid of papillomas:
- Tape. . . Removal of warts can be done using adhesive tapes purchased at the pharmacy and impregnated with a special composition. This composition has a destructive effect on the nipples for some time, then comes out with tape. To reduce the pain, the strips are usually moistened with warm water before tearing it.
- Freeze- This is one of the most common procedures for eliminating papillomas. The use of freezing drugs is usually indicated for the elimination of tumors located in the affected area or elsewhere and such treatment is possible without anesthesia. You can buy a special medicine yourself at a drugstore and the procedure requires strict adherence to the instructions. After a week of treatment, there will be no trace of papillomas.
- Pharmacy preparation with phenol, intended for the treatment of warts and papillomas. It is extremely effective - skin tumors will disappear after a single application, but the procedure is accompanied by pain, as a wound remains in the papillary position, which takes time to heal.
- Gel with celandine extract, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by the Ministry of Health. It differs in the absence of pain during the disaster.
There are different conditions associated with the appearance of growths that require the destruction of tumors. Depending on the location of the papilloma, the urgency of its removal and whether this is the first appearance of HPV, different methods of treating papillomas can be used.
The need to consult a specialist is also due to the fact that when papillomas occur, the independent use of drugs carries the risk of developing skin papillomas, resulting in the appearance of growths throughout the body anywhere. In this case, their treatment will take longer.
Folk remedies
Any self-medication at home is often accompanied by the use of folk remedies. Along with other methods of treatment, after consulting a doctor, it is possible to use traditional medicine. They are especially useful during pregnancy and immunosuppression.
The effectiveness is high in those folk remedies that increase the resistance of the human body to infections. Some can be taken with antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.
Vegetable origin
To prevent the subsequent appearance of papillomas, you can use herbal infusions daily(lemon balm, nettle, plane tree, ponytail, dill, balsam grass and others) or juice obtained from red potato tubers.
Of the herbal remedies used to remove tumors, celandine is worth noting. The use of juice, leaves or pharmacy infusion is allowed. Regular use dries the nipples and then they just fall off.
Astrology gives its idea of how to remove nipplespresents HPV as a viral disease in the form of skin formations and regardless of how the papillae appear, it can only be removed when the moon is low. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system using herbal tea. Complete elimination of growths requires at least 3 months of administration.
Non-vegetable origin
In addition to using herbal products, the following non-herbal products are also very effective:
- Treatment of HPV with eggThis is one of the most effective and well-known ways to eliminate the papillomavirus. It consists in the fact that the papules that have just appeared on the body are smeared with egg white and each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one has dried. In a few days, after the protein dries a lot, there will simply be no papillae left. This is a fairly effective and simple treatment for tumors in the body.
- Alcohol tincture- you need to mix 0. 1 liters of alcohol, 2 grams of boric acid, 2. 5 grams of iodine and the same amount of acetylsalicylic acid. It is forbidden to lubricate papillae with localization on the eyelids or mucous membranes with this mixture. Instead of this recipe, you can use ammonia or you can make balls from vinegar and flour (the use of this tool has the same restrictions).
- castor oilIt is a painless treatment for skin lesions. The effectiveness of the oil is due to the presence of acid in its composition, which destroys tumors.
- Kerosene and green walnut ointment- used to treat papillomavirus in the form of warts, including genitals. For this purpose, it is necessary to grind new nuts, then fill them with kerosene in a ratio of 2 to 1. After infusing the mixture in a dark place for 3 weeks, it can be used to lubricate the nipples. This is a fairly effective way of eliminating any tumors.
- Apple cider vinegar. . . You should drip apple cider vinegar on a clean towel or cotton and then moisten the nipples three times a day. After a few days, the growth will change color. The duration of the course is several weeks, after which the tumor will disappear. To make this procedure safer, it is recommended to dilute the vinegar with a little water before treating the affected area.
Even proponents of conservative treatment admit to using non-pharmacological drugs, which completely rule out the possibility of self-medication. In fact, it is quite a controversial question whether it is possible to get rid of HPV using only traditional medicine.
Both non-traditional and medication can be successful, but only with the right combination and after specialist recommendation.
