Removal of anal condylomas - symptoms, diagnosis, methods of removal

Human papillomavirus is a provocateur of the appearance of outgrowths over the surface of the skin. Locations of the occurrence of papilloma can be very diverse, and include the area of ​​the anus. The appearance of anal formations begins with small spots, seals. They arise around the anus directly, but they can also damage the inner part of the anus. By their nature condylomas are benign, but their degeneration into oncology is not ruled out. To prevent this process, there are various preventive measures that involve surgical removal of the problem.

Causes of appearance and their features

Neoplasms appear on the skin, as a result of the ingestion of HPV( a kind of papillusm).It is worth noting that this virus is noted in every second person, and may be in an inactive state. Under the influence of certain factors, the virus becomes active, and, consequently, the manifestation of external symptoms.

Statistics! Characteristically, men and young children are at minimal risk of having anal warts. Most often they suffer from women.

The main way of infection is sexual contact, but the household way of transmission of infection is not excluded. The immune system is not capable of resisting the virus without producing antibodies to it - the risk of relapse is very high. The HPV carrier can infect a healthy person only if it has dermal papilloma neoplasms on its body. Moreover, after getting into the body of HPV, a person can not at all guess that he became a carrier of the virus and continue to infect other people for several years. Fears begin to cause only strange formations, which lead to severe discomfort.

Activation of a sleeping virus in the body can occur with a decrease in immune functions( this is one of the main reasons).The following factors can provoke the manifestation of HPV and the appearance of anal condylomas:

1. Reduced immunity.
2. Exposure to permanent stressful situations.
3. Pregnancy.
4. Consequence of chemotherapy.
5. The use of hormonal drugs( including contraception).
6. Consequences of prolonged use of the contraceptive spiral.

This is important! It is mandatory to use barrier contraception( condoms) with each new sexual partner, whose health state, nothing is known. Thus, it is possible to protect yourself from many STIs.

Symptoms

They arise so that the virus carrier alone can not diagnose them. There is no doubt that papilloma formations are a dangerous skin disease, which requires competent surgical treatment.

Caution! Since the problem is very delicate, the patient can not dare to visit a specialist for a long time to thoroughly examine and make an accurate diagnosis. As a result, complications occur.

The following worrisome symptoms may be the reason for visiting a doctor:

1. Itching.
2. Burning in the anus.
3. Discomfort during a bowel movement.
4. Appearance of sensation of foreign body in the anus.
5. Appearance of selections.
6. Subfebrile temperature( noted in rare cases).

Attention! After the appearance of the above symptoms, the potential patient should not be delayed with a visit to the doctor.

Description of new growths

These are external cutaneous outgrowths that are characterized by white and pink color. Associatively, papilloma neoplasms resemble inflorescence of cauliflower. Initially, the appearance of anal condylomas is characterized by formation, with a diameter of one millimeter. Such condylomata represent lonely phenomena, but in the absence of treatment appear in mass quantities, forming whole growth clusters.

Caution! Most often, anal warts occur in people who are partial to anal sex. But in medicine, there are cases of the emergence of these neoplasms in people who do not have anal sexual contacts.

The virus can be described by a competent expert in the video.

Diagnosis and treatment of pathology

Treatment of anal condylomas is mandatory, independently the neoplasms can not disappear( immunity can not produce antibodies against HPV).After visual inspection, the specialist directs the patient to a detailed study of the affected area. This procedure is defined in medicine as a sigmoidoscopy, which involves examination of the intestine and anus.

It is best to start therapy at the initial stage of the pathology. In the advanced stage there are risks of degeneration into a malignant tumor. After completion of therapy with the carrier of the virus, a routine visit to a specialist is recommended.

The most effective way to treat papilloma is surgical treatment, which is determined by one of the following methods:

• removal of the tumor with an electron knife;
• laser removal;
• operation using a scalpel;
• treatment with radioactive therapy;
• burning out neoforms with liquid nitrogen;
• burning of papilloma with acid.

Pay attention! After the diagnosis the doctor determines the necessary method of eliminating the pathology for the speedy normalization of the patient's condition.

On the fact of cutting off the condyloma of the anus, it is necessary to eliminate other available native papillomas. Thus, it is possible to prevent a recurrence of the virus on the skin. The patient must use immunostimulating therapy, as well as antiviral drugs. As a result, the virus is blocked in the body.

It is possible to eliminate skin pathology by using traditional medicine, but such cases have not been officially recorded in medical practice.

How to treat	Why not use
Ointments	In some cases, patients use herbal fragrances. However, the use of external ointments can not completely eliminate the problem, and is used as part of the complex treatment of
Infusions	After the removal of genital warts, one does not worry about the result. The problem disappears immediately. On the contrary, the use of infusions from medicinal herbs can delay the process for many months, and the desired effect is not always achieved.
Tablets	The use of oral herbal remedies can only improve the immune system, which will accelerate the recovery process. But, it should be noted that no direct drugs from HPV exist

Removal of anal warts

Most of the carriers of the virus who have anal warts are convinced that removal of the formations is not necessary if the latter do not bother. It's a delusion. The first thing that complicates the papilloma neoplasms is not aesthetics( a psychological barrier is created at sexual contacts).However, in addition to superficial complications, there is a risk of conversion to cancer( which is why papillomas are removed).Emerging papillomas eventually increase in size and spread, affecting new areas.

Obligatory surgical treatment of genital warts is explained by the possibility of infecting other people in the presence of external neoplasms( condyloma).After excision of genital warts, a person is not able to infect others.

Methods of removal

1. Surgical excision. This method is used in the diagnosis of condyloma inside the anus. After performing a surgical procedure, the formation can be given for histological examination.
2. Radio wave removal. Is an alternative to surgical excision, since it is recognized to be the least traumatic.
3. Electrocoagulation. The main plus of the method is the ability to seal blood vessels and prevent anal bleeding, which is often found during the advanced stage of the disease. But, when compared with the above methods of surgical treatment, then electrocoagulation is more traumatic.
4. Cryodestruction. The method involves moxibustion of neoplasms in the anal passage with nitrogen. It is allowed to apply only in case of a condyloma immediately around the anus. For the removal of anal warts, a method of treatment that is not in demand because it leaves large lesions on a delicate area of ​​the skin.

To prevent the problem, it is necessary to visit the doctor regularly every six months.
