How to deal with
If you suspect that you are a carrier of a viral infection, immediately seek specialist help. It is easier to prevent the appearance of new neoplasms than to get rid of those that have already appeared. Using a simple blood test and a smear from the genital organs, a specialist will accurately confirm or deny the presence of a disease in your body. The virus has more than 60 strains. But the real danger is only half.

Now let's look at each of these methods in more detail.
If you are a carrier of uterine papilloma, then you cannot do without surgical intervention. The formation affects the mucous surface of the genitals, the doctor cleans the cavity using hysteroscopy. The procedure is carried out under full anesthesia. The doctor uses special devices and cuts the resulting endometrium, after which an excision is performed. The surgical method is not popular in the treatment of affected external areas, since the procedure itself is not pleasant and leaves scars.
Beauty salons use laser treatment. This technology does not cause significant discomfort and does not require hospitalization of the patient. This method is used when it is necessary to remove the growth on the open part of the body. The operation itself is performed without anesthesia. The client lies comfortably in a special chair, and the doctor touches the wart with a special device that emits lasers. The root of the formation is removed and cauterized at the same time, thereby eliminating bleeding. In this way, you can remove one buildup or several at once.
Chemical exposure is carried out in the most extreme cases, if a person is struck by a malignant formation. In this case, a drug is administered intravenously to the patient, which affects the entire body of the patient. It is very dangerous as it has many side effects. When neoplasms appear on the cervix, a chemical method of exposure is used. With the difference that the drug is not injected into the blood, but applied to a swab and applied to the formation. Please note that large doses of this drug are very toxic. This type of treatment is categorically not recommended for pregnant and lactating women.
Doctors also use traditional correction. But before making a final diagnosis, it is necessary to reliably establish the strain and type of virus. After that, antibacterial and antiviral drugs are prescribed. Also, immunomodulatory therapy is necessarily used. Only one doctor will prescribe medications, but keep in mind that both partners must be treated at the same time.
Even famous doctors often turn to traditional medicine, and you should not ignore it. You can try to remove papillomas at home. The first recipe of our grandmothers: garlic and celandine. Celandine is bought at a pharmacy, with garlic, I think it is even easier for any housewife to keep on hand. A few drops of celandine and the juice of a clove of garlic will suffice. Every day, before going to bed, apply a cotton pad soaked in this composition to an unwanted process. We recommend that you apply a new composition again and again.
