Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral agents on Earth.
According to medical statistics, 80% to 90% of all people on the planet are HPV carriers, many of whom are not even aware that they have papillomavirus virus in their own body. This occurs because HPV, entering the patient's blood, can remain in a latent (inactive) state for a long time, slowly invading the basal cells of the epidermis, but not manifesting itself visually. We will try to assess the mechanisms of infection and the symptoms of the disease, and we will also discover how to cure the human papillomavirus quickly and effectively.
How is human papillomavirus virus transmitted?
In answering the topical question about how you can become infected with the human papillomavirus, it is necessary to state the three main mechanisms involved in the penetration of the viral agent into the body:
- Contact route- by direct contact with the wearer 's epidermis. The risk group is massage therapists, cosmetologists, dermatologists, etc. ;
- Intervention mechanism (household)- involves the transmission of the papilloma virus by household items - towel, comb, public transport handrails, etc. ;
- Sexual way- provides unprotected sexual contact with an infected person, almost one hundred percent probability of the papillomavirus entering the body, and subtypes of the agent such as human papillomavirus type 31 in women can be transmitted even when using a condom.
Symptoms of human papillomavirus virus may not appear in men and women until certain conditions or conditions occur. Such factors are considered to be secondary causes of papillomavirus virus:
- Reduced immune function;
- Violation of skin integrity - injuries, micro-cracks, abrasions, wounds, etc. ;
- Stress and neuro-emotional overwork;
- Weakening the body against the background of an inflammatory or infectious process;
- Hormonal disorders;
- Violations of personal hygiene rules.
The only sign of the papilloma virus can be considered as the formation of specific skin neoplasms, which are mostly benign, but require mandatory medical supervision. In the presence of at least one of the above factors, skin growth appears within 1–6 months after the initial infection of the patient. This is the duration of the incubation period of the papillomavirus virus.
Why are different types of human papillomavirus virus dangerous?
In order to learn how to get rid of the human papillomavirus virus and whether it is worth taking therapeutic measures at all, we will find out what this viral agent can be dangerous and how serious the consequences can be. Often people do not pay proper attention to skin growths like papillomas and warts, considering benign defects. Only significant (initial) localization of the neoplasm, which creates aesthetic problems, can push the patient to visit a specialist. Meanwhile, some types of human papillomavirus virus are considered precancerous conditions and can turn into malignant tumors.
Modern medicine contains about 120 types of papillomavirus virus, which determine the localization, size and oncogenicity of epidermal growth. We will try to find out which types can only be considered an aesthetic defect, and which types need immediate treatment:
- Papilloma virus 1, 2, 4 types.The viral agent creates plantar warts, which are able to grow over time and spread to healthy tissues, making it difficult for the patient to move;
- Papillomavirus 2, 4, 26, 27, 29, 57 types.It stimulates the formation of common or vulgar warts, which often affect the skin of the hands.
- Papilloma virus 3, 10, 28, 49 types.The main reason for the appearance of flat warts, which often affects children and adolescents, is that they received a second name - childhood;
- Type 7 HPV.Special forms of papillomas on the hands of an infected person, known as "butcher warts";
- Papilloma virus 2, 3, 5, 8-10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 36, 37, 46, 47 and 50 types.A numerous group of viral agents that induce veruciform epidermodysplasia, in exceptional benign formations;
- Human papillomavirus 6 and 11, as well as types 42 and 54.A more dangerous group of HPV, which forms genital warts on the genitals and mucous membranes. Such growths can undergo malignant transformation;
- Papillomavirus 16, 18 and most subspecies 30-67 species.This group of viral agents has a high level of oncogenicity, which manifests itself in relation to the internal genital organs. Thus, papillomavirus type 33 in women, as well as papillomavirus type 18, stimulates the formation of flat warts and dysplasia of the cervix, which can lead to cervical canal cancer;
- Papilloma virus type 51, as well as types 45, 52, 54, 56, 66, 68.Cervical or vaginal cancer can cause human papillomavirus 52 and other aggressive agents of this group, as well as cause oncology of the external genital organs and the anus.
It should be understood that these are not all scientifically known HPV subspecies, but the types listed above can be confidently attributed to the most common ones.
How to determine the human papillomavirus in women and in the stronger sex?
Diagnostics is a mandatory step to visit a doctor in case of formation of papillomas on the skin or mucous membranes. This is because of the risk of the papilloma confusing another skin problem. Although asymptomatic in most cases, the human papillomavirus virus in women is often only detected with a planned or other causal examination, a gynecological examination.
Skin growth can be differentiated by simple examination, confirmed by microscopic analysis of epithelial scrapings. At the same time, the final diagnosis can only be made after PCR diagnosis, which makes it possible to locate the presence of the papilloma virus in the patient’s blood. If there is a suspicion of a malignant course of genital papillomas, additional testing - tissue biopsy is often prescribed.
Human papillomavirus - treatment
Answering the question of how to cure the papilloma virus, it should first be assumed that simple removal of a skin neoplasm does not solve the problem once and for all, since the viral agent remains in the blood. Unfortunately, to date, medicine has not developed an effective method to completely cleanse the human body from the virus, however, strengthening the immunity and rational hygiene care does not allow HPV to actively multiply and form skin defects.
There are two main guidelines for removing papillomas of different localization:
- Treatment of the human papillomavirus virus with folk remedies;
- Elimination of benign neoplasms hardware.
Treating papillomavirus with folk remedies
Folk recipes recommend the use of fresh celandine juice, as well as iodine solutions and vinegar as agents that burn papillomas. Such methods are based on simply applying an agent to a neoplasm and subsequently rejecting it. It should be remembered that this practice has limited effectiveness and may cause shrinkage or contraction. A quieter option is to apply garlic cuttings regularly on the skin, which may not provide the desired result, but will certainly not harm the health of the patient.
By using decoctions and infusions of herbs such as wormwood, dandelion, viool tricolor, etc. , you can strengthen the immune system and provide natural resistance to HPV. The human papillomavirus virus can also be treated at home with the help of special pharmaceutical ointments, creams and patches.
How to cure human papilloma with hardware methods
Modern medicine offers several effective hardware options to get rid of the papilloma virus from a patient, however, laser destruction of neoplasms is considered the "gold standard" in this regard. The method is effective, painless and simple. The manipulation only takes a few minutes without disturbing the surrounding epidermal structures. This approach will not only protect the patient from unwanted scars and scars, but will greatly reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
