Papillomavirus (namely, this genus is referred to as HPV) lives in the superficial skin tissues, gradually penetrating into the basal layer. It is a ubiquitous virus that penetrates into cellular structures, upsetting their natural processes. The method of transmission of papillomavirus is a sexual path, so this pathology is often treated by the doctors-venereologists. Usually treatment consists of a set of procedures that can include antiviral, immunomodulatory therapy, and even surgical intervention. In this article, we will consider one of the options for local treatment - a suppository or a suppository from HPV.
Indications for use of suppositories from HPV
Scientists have identified and investigated more than a hundred types of human papillomavirus. For convenience, they were divided into several categories:
- papillomatous viruses without the risk of oncogeneity (these include 1, 2, 3 and 5 strains);
- viruses with a low risk of oncogeneity (6, 11, 42, 43 and 44 strain);
- viruses with a high risk of oncogenicity (16 and 18 strains, as well as some other types).
It becomes clear that the most dangerous are the strains of viruses 16 and 18. The risk is that under certain circumstances, these papillomaviruses potentiate pathological changes in the mucous and skin tissues, which can externally manifest itself in the growth of all kinds of warts, genital warts and papillomas, dysplasia, and also in development of oncological diseases.
Getting rid of HPV is extremely difficult. However, in order to avoid dangerous complications, it is necessary to be treated. The best result of treatment is the achievement of a stable period of remission, when the activity of the virus calms down, and the manifestations of the disease go to "no."
