However, it is up to everyone to decide whether or not to remove their papilloma.
But there are circumstances in which the removal of papillomas should be done as soon as possible. These include:
- Infection of the papilloma with the development of bacterial inflammation after injury;
- Changes in the appearance of the wart: deformity, ulceration, spontaneous decay, indicating its possible malignancy (degeneration of benign cells into malignancy);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without the detection of HPV oncogenic types.
Characteristics of the treatment of papillomas
The difference in the treatment of papillomavirus manifestations occurs only with the development of genital warts in the perineum and genital area. For damage to other parts of the body, all methods and tools are the same: physical removal of papillomas with concomitant antiviral and immunostimulatory therapy.
Tissues should be examined for the presence of malignant cells before the papilloma is removed.
Treatment of papillomas in women
If the skin of the labia and perineum is affected, the methods for removing genital warts are generally no different from generally accepted methods.. However, the development of papillomas in the wall of the cervix and vagina requires a special approach.
The gynecologist deals with the problems of papillomastic infection of the internal female genitals. If necessary, an oncologist's consultation is planned. Medication involves complex antiviral and immunostimulatory therapies that are performed only after removal of genital warts and / or erosions.
The removal itself consists of taking a tissue sample for histological examination, and most commonly by electrocoagulation or laser removal.

Treatment of papillomas in men
The principle of treatment is the same: removal of papillomas, anti-inflammatory treatment and enhanced immunity with immunomodulators.
