Doctors recommend removing all skin neoplasms, explaining that theirelimination (destruction) will stop the spread of papillomavirus among people and prevent the development of possible complications. . .
However, it is up to everyone to decide whether or not to remove the papilloma.
But there are conditions in which the removal of papillomas should be done as soon as possible. These include:
- Infection of papilloma after trauma with the development of bacterial inflammation;
- Changes in the appearance of the wart: deformation, the appearance of ulceration, spontaneous decay, indicating its possible malignancy (degeneration of benign cells into malignant ones);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without identifying oncogenic HPV types.
Features of papillomas treatment
The difference in the treatment of manifestations of papillomavirus occurs only with the development of genital warts in the perineum and genital area. In case of damage to the rest of the body, all methods and means are identical: physical removal of papillomas with the use of concomitant antiviral and immunostimulating treatment.
Before removing the papilloma, it is necessary to conduct a study of the tissues for the presence of malignant cells.
Treatment of papillomas in women
When the skin of the labia and the perineum is affected, the methods for removing genital warts, in general, do not differ from the generally accepted ones.. At the same time, the development of papillomas in the cervix and vaginal walls require a special approach.
A gynecologist deals with the problems of manifestation of papilloma infection of the internal female genital organs. If necessary, a consultation with an oncologist is scheduled. Drug treatment involves complex antiviral and immunostimulating therapy, which are carried out only after the removal of genital warts and / or erosions.
The removal itself consists of taking a tissue sample for histological examination and, most often, electrocoagulation or laser removal.
Important! It is this method that allows the most qualitative elimination of cervical erosion in the initial stages and papillomas of the vaginal walls.
Treatment of papillomas in men
The principle of treatment is the same: removal of papillomas, anti-inflammatory treatment and increased immunity with the help of immunomodulators.
Treatment of papillomas in the case of the development of genital warts on the penis and scrotum, depending on the severity, can be handled by both a urologist and a dermatologist.
Almost all common methods can be used to eliminate neoplasms.. However, surgical excision is performed only in cases of suspected precancerous conditions (Keyr's erythroplasia, Bowen's disease) or cancer.
It is desirable to eliminate genital warts of the glans penis using high-precision techniques, namely laser or radio waves.
Important! The use of cryodestruction or electrocoagulation can lead to the formation of a scar, which will adversely affect sexual function and create a cosmetic defect.
