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

- laser
- chemistry
- medicine
- the way of the people
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 takes place under full anesthesia. The doctor uses a special device and cuts the resulting endometrium, after which an isolation is made. Surgical methods are not popular in the treatment of the affected external area, because the procedure itself is unpleasant and leaves scars.
Beauty salons use laser treatments. This technology does not cause significant inconvenience and does not require hospitalization of the patient. This method is used when necessary to remove growths on open parts of the body. The operation itself was performed without anesthesia. The client lies comfortably on a special chair, and the doctor touches the wart with a special device that emits a laser beam. The roots of the formation are removed and burned at the same time, thus eliminating bleeding. This way, you can remove one build, or several at once.
Chemical exposure is done in the most extreme cases, if a person is attacked by a malignant formation. In this case, the drug is given intravenously to the patient, which affects the entire body of the patient. It is very dangerous because it has many side effects. When neoplasms appear on the cervix, chemical exposure methods are used. With the difference that the drug is not injected into the blood, but applied on a swab and applied on the formation. Note that large doses of this drug are highly toxic. This type of treatment is categorically not recommended for pregnant and lactating women.
Doctors also use traditional corrections. But before making a final diagnosis, it is necessary to determine the type and type of virus with certainty. After that, antibacterial and antiviral drugs are prescribed. In addition, immunomodulatory therapy should be used. Only a doctor will prescribe medication, but keep in mind that both couples should be treated at once.
Even well -known doctors often use traditional medicine, and you can’t ignore it. You can try to remove the papilloma at home. The first recipe from our grandmothers: garlic and celandine. Celandine is bought at the pharmacy, with garlic, I think it is easier for every housewife to have it. A few drops of celandine and the juice of one clove of garlic will suffice. Every day, before bed, apply a cotton swab soaked in this composition to the unwanted process. We advise you to use the new composition repeatedly.
