How to remove papillomas in intimate places?
Due to the danger of acquiring the malignant properties of papillomas, they should be removed immediately. One of the methods of removal is the radio wave. Despite the fact that the doctor individually selects a method for each patient, radio wave therapy is most recommended for the genitals and in the inguinal region.
The reasons for this are as follows:
- no blood is released;
- seams and scars on the tissues do not remain;
- healthy areas are not affected;
- redness and swelling does not occur in large sizes;
- short recovery period.
By the method of exposure to radio waves having a high frequency on the growth, the malicious cell is evaporated, while healthy tissue areas remain intact. When preparing the patient, antiseptics are used for local anesthesia. In this case, the procedure begins in five minutes.
When removing papillomas in intimate places, especially if they are difficult to access, such as the cervix, the radio wave method is ideal. For this, a special electrode is used, which directly removes the papilloma. Then the vessels are cauterized with a ball electrode and the wound is treated, after which an antiseptic is applied.
This method is contraindicated:
- with signs of malignancy;
- with exacerbation of chronic processes;
- with diabetes;
- during pregnancy;
- during breastfeeding;
In other circumstances, the use of the method of radio wave therapy is justified and painless.
