Doctors recommend removing all skin tumors, explaining this by saying that theyElimination (destruction) will stop the spread of the papillomavirus among people and prevent the development of possible complications.
However, it is up to each individual whether to remove the papilloma or not.
However, there are conditions when the removal of papillomas should be done as soon as possible. These include:
- Infection of the papilloma after an injury with the development of bacterial inflammation;
- Changes in the appearance of the wart: deformation, ulceration, spontaneous decay, indicating possible malignancy (degeneration of benign cells into malignant);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without the detection of oncogenic types of HPV.
Features of the treatment of papillomas
The difference in the treatment of manifestations of the papillomavirus occurs only with the development of genital warts in the perineum and genital areas. In case of damage to other parts of the body, all methods and means are the same: physical removal of papillomas with simultaneous antiviral and immunostimulating treatment.
Before removing the papilloma, it is necessary to examine the tissues for the presence of malignant cells.
Treatment of papillomas in women
In general, when the skin of the labia and perineum is affected, the methods of removing genital warts do not differ from the generally accepted ones.. At the same time, the development of papillomas in the cervix and vaginal walls requires a special approach.
