Do you need to get rid of old things? Do I need to get rid of bad habits?


Papillomas are neoplasms on the body that appear as an indicator of the presence of the human papillomavirus or HPV in the body.

Sometimes they are small and almost invisible, but more often than not, papillomas really interfere with life, cling to clothes and cause pain. on the body, how this is done and what if you neglect removal - we will find out further.

Papillomavirus can develop in humans for a number of different reasons, however, the main one is insufficient attention to hygiene procedures. Neglecting hand washing or contraception during sexual intercourse are the most common culprits in the development of HPV. Doctors also identify some other reasons:

  • long-term treatment with strong medications, in particular antibiotics;
  • decreased immunity;
  • stressful state;
  • long-term infectious diseases;
  • alcohol addiction.

The presence of the above situations in a patient does not guarantee the development of HPV, but only increases the risk of the disease.

Danger of illness

To determine whether papilloma is dangerous, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary study. The fact is that today more than 70 viruses of this type are known - not all of them are dangerous. However, if you do not pay the necessary attention to the disease, then, as it progresses, it can pose the following health hazards:

  • inflammation;
  • constant painful sensations;
  • transmission of the virus to the baby at birth;
  • “degeneration” of neoplasms into a malignant tumor;
  • development of cancer.

Regardless of which area of ​​the body suffers from papilloma, if the neoplasm causes discomfort and especially pain, this is a direct indicator to consult a specialist.

Is it necessary to get rid of papillomas or can they disappear on their own?

The nodules, which appear as an indicator of the presence of HPV, form growths that resemble a rooster's comb. They can increase in size, but they cannot decrease. However, medical practice shows that in rare cases, warts go away on their own:

  1. Young age. Usually, experts do not recommend removing papilloma from a child, because it can simply disappear when he gets older and the immune system is fully formed.
  2. Stressful background. If the cause of the tumor was prolonged stress or depression, then there is a possibility that removal will not be required. The situation is similar with short-term infectious diseases or a temporary decrease in the body’s protective functions.

Please note that papillomas can be of different types. For example, if we have a papilloma that has a stalk or is one of the genital warts, then it probably will not disappear on its own: surgical intervention will be required.

What happens if you tear it off

The most impatient and inattentive to their health are ready to remove the growth manually, without fear of pain. This must not be done under any circumstances!

The fact is that an unexamined wart may well turn out to be a malignant tumor. In addition, with mechanical non-professional damage, a benign tumor can degenerate into a malignant one. Let's consider other cases of wart tearing:

  1. It came off by accident. Large growths that constantly rub against clothing can come off due to careless movement or other external influence. As a rule, this situation occurs with papillomas on the head and neck and is accompanied by severe pain and sometimes bleeding. In this case, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible and, if possible, take the detached papilloma with you.
  2. I broke away on my own. There are times when the papilloma was still there yesterday, but today it is no longer there. In this case, it means that the body itself coped with the virus and the papilloma came off. Such deliverance is painless and unnoticed, there is no reason to panic.

Even if we have a keratoma in front of us - a benign neoplasm - we cannot remove it ourselves under any circumstances. If the patient is concerned about the growth, it is better to seek help from a professional.

Do papillomas need to be removed? The doctor will tell you

The opinion of experts regarding the removal of papilloma is unanimous: if the growth causes you discomfort, take care of its examination and removal. However, it is not always necessary to remove growths: benign neoplasms that do not interfere with a person in any way can remain quite safely on his body.

When should papillomas be removed?

Let's consider a number of cases when the removal procedure is inevitable:

  • growths that are constantly injured by clothing or jewelry;
  • location on mucous membranes (tongue, mouth, throat);
  • in particular in the eyelid area;
  • large neoplasms that grow over time;
  • plantar warts.

Even in the above cases, a comprehensive study is first required and only then treatment and removal.

Subtleties of treatment of papillomatous elements

Patients are often afraid to go to a dermatologist or surgeon for help, as they are concerned about various questions regarding the treatment procedure. Let's look at the most common of them below:

  1. Does it hurt to remove? Pain sensations directly depend on the method of removal and the patient’s pain threshold. However, modern anesthesia methods make the procedure as painless as possible - even in intimate areas.
  2. Is it dangerous to remove? You can get rid of a wart under professional supervision by a specialist absolutely safely and quickly. Self-removal is unacceptable, as it can pose a health hazard.
  3. Is it possible to treat at home? Treatment at home is only possible if two conditions are met. Firstly, the papilloma has already been studied and it is known that it is not malignant. Secondly, the size of the tumor is small.

The main feature of the treatment is that it must take place in 100% sterile conditions, eliminating the possibility of contamination, dust, and microbes getting into the damaged area of ​​the skin.

Need for medical supervision

Medical supervision is required in several cases:

  1. First stage. When treatment has not yet been prescribed and the nature of the papilloma has not been determined, medical control is very important, since there is a risk of developing a malignant neoplasm.
  2. Treatment stage. Medical control is especially important at the treatment stage, especially if it is carried out in.
  3. Pregnancy. Before planning a pregnancy, it is recommended to consult a specialist to identify HPV and its preliminary treatment.
  4. After removal. In this case, control is needed if the patient has discomfort after removal.

Do not neglect consultations with specialists, especially in situations where the tumor bothers you, hurts, causes discomfort or changes.

How to get rid of formations

Modern medicine offers a whole range of methods for removing papilloma:

  • Laser. Laser therapy ensures removal of the wart at the root without leaving any traces.

  • Electrocoagulation. Removal occurs using high-frequency current.

  • Radio wave therapy. Removes tumors using the Surgitron device.

  • . In this case, the papilloma is treated with liquid nitrogen by freezing.

As a rule, the patient can choose the removal method independently. However, in special cases, the specialist recommends one or another method for better treatment.

Is papilloma treated with traditional methods?

There are many traditional treatment methods that help successfully fight papillomas. However, their use is not always permissible. Please note the following conditions:

  1. The neoplasm has been proven not to be malignant.
  2. There is no pain during treatment.
  3. The wart size is no more than 0.7x0.7 mm.
  4. There was a preliminary consultation with a specialist.

As a rule, at home it is possible to get rid of papilloma in 1 month, and the first results are noticeable after 10–14 days of treatment. If there is no result or you experience discomfort and pain during cauterization, then the procedure should be stopped and consult a doctor.

Disease prevention

Prevention is easier than cure. Therefore, pay attention to the following simple prevention methods:

  1. Prevention. Always use contraception, even during oral and anal sex.
  2. Hygiene. Follow the rules of hygiene, including hand washing, when visiting public places - swimming pools, gyms, etc.
  3. Observation by a doctor. Annual regular checks with a specialist will help detect the infection at its early stages of development.

Also today there are special vaccinations that protect the body from HPV. They are not a panacea, but they help fight this complex and dangerous virus throughout your life. Timely contact with a specialist is the best way to prevent the dangerous effects of HPV and maintain your health.

There is a strong belief that the intestines need to be “cleansed” regularly. Some try to do this with enemas, others use laxatives, and still others use colon hydrotherapy.

Are such procedures useful and are they indicated for everyone? AiF.ru told proctologist, head day hospital of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences Pavel Pletner.

First symptoms

Abdominal pain, regular bloating in the intestines, increased gas production, stool disorders - all these are reasons to wonder if everything is okay with the gastrointestinal tract and go to the doctor. It is usually recommended to undergo an examination by a gastroenterologist and proctologist to determine exactly what the cause is.

It is a pity that today people neglect the practice of medical examination, as a result of which they turn to doctors with already advanced diseases, the consequences of which are much more difficult to correct.

At the same time, it’s not worth rushing to extremes and performing a cleansing procedure “just for the sake of prevention.” You need to listen to yourself very carefully, because the body is an accurate and well-functioning apparatus that will always give a signal for help in time. For example, you can find out that something is not right with your intestines by looking at the condition of your skin—small pimples may appear on it. In addition, it is believed that due to improper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, the skin color changes and becomes sallow. A person also develops weakness, increased fatigue, and loss of strength.

Temporary effect

Today, doctors know many different options for cleansing the body - enemas, rinsing, colon hydrotherapy, laxatives. In some cases, people manage to try them all on their own. Colon hydrotherapy is one of the most popular methods today. Perhaps because it is simpler and more convenient than a standard enema. It is also often called a “super enema”. During this procedure, cleansing occurs and a therapeutic effect is achieved through the use of herbal infusions or medications.

It is worth remembering that this option of self-medication can be extremely dangerous if special examinations have not been carried out. After all, the patient may well have contraindications to such a procedure, which will lead to serious complications.

Colon hydrotherapy is often used as a means of losing weight - it is believed that after its implementation you can lose up to 5 kg of excess weight. However, you shouldn’t expect any magic from it. Yes, there is an effect, but it is temporary, and the body will quickly gain back all these kilograms, or even add more on top. To maintain weight, it is not enough to get rid of accumulations in the intestines; you need to lead a healthy lifestyle - eat right, exercise enough, get enough sleep, etc.

In addition, an additional disadvantage of colon hydrotherapy carried out without indications for this is the washing out of the intestinal microflora.

And here, according to statistics, up to 80% of human immunity is formed. This means that an irrational approach to such a procedure will simply lead to a decrease in the body’s defenses and a serious deterioration in human health.

As for the huge number of laxatives that are offered in pharmacies today, there is another problem - many begin to use them uncontrollably, because... those are sold without a prescription. In this way, you can very easily and quickly disrupt the intestinal microflora, which again will lead to a deterioration in well-being and a decrease in immunity.

There shouldn't be any pain!

Contraindications for colon cleansing should also be taken into account. These include colon tumors, polyps, the presence of diverticula and other inflammatory processes. If you ignore them, there is a risk of reaching a condition where surgical intervention and a long rehabilitation period are required.

During the procedure, if you decide to do it, you should pay attention to the appearance of pain in the abdomen and blood. Any procedure should be tolerated easily and without any serious complaints.

In general, the intestines can cleanse themselves. In order for it to function like a watch, it is enough to follow simple rules. It is definitely worth organizing frequent—fractional—meals: at least 5 times a day, but in small portions. At the same time, it must be rich in vitamins and microelements, as well as fiber - this is a necessary substance for normal intestinal motility and the process of eliminating waste and toxins. Naturally, you should not forget about the correct drinking regime - at least a liter of regular drinking water per day, preferably 1.5 liters.

If you experience discomfort, pain, and even more so blood, you should consult a doctor. Against the background of such disorders, self-administration of laxatives and enemas can be deadly.

And it is worth paying attention to prevention. An active lifestyle, visiting the pool, proper nutrition and an optimally selected diet, in addition to a well-organized workday and rest regime, will allow the body to independently solve problems related to cleansing and health.

This morning (about two hours ago) there was a discussion on this topic on Radio Russia.
That is, there was no discussion as such.
They gave the floor to some lady psychologist, and she drove such a blizzard...
I even managed to write something down.

“People who are attached to old things have a hard time parting with the past, they are not able to perceive the new. Therefore, we need to get rid of old things.”

But who cares whether I am able or not to perceive new things? This is my own business.
And why should I part with the past?

“There are things that are dear to our memory, but we don’t use them, they lie on the mezzanine for years and decades, but we must be able to get rid of the past and move forward.”

Again, why “be able to get rid of the past”?
By the way, this “psychologist” agreed that it makes no sense to store old books and albums with photographs - because now any books are in electronic form (and they do not litter the apartment), and it is also better to store photographs in electronic form.
So I listened to this “psychologist”, and a thought was born: she would be more useful if I gave her a broom in her hands and sent her to sweep the streets.
And the male psychologists who put forward such ideas should be sent to build roads.
For we have two troubles: fools and roads.
And working in the fresh air has a good effect on the blood circulation of the brain, and stupid ideas do not enter your head.

“If we free space from the old, then it will certainly be filled with the new.”

“By getting rid of old things, you will acquire something new faster.”

But I would like to dwell on the last thesis in more detail.
Because this is the main thesis.
Because the words about “getting rid of personal space from junk”, about “things that you haven’t used for years”, about “clothes that lie in closets just in case” are a saying.
Here's a fairy tale:
It was directly stated that “if people use old things, they will not buy new things.”
Now it is clear?
Keyword - " buy».
This word contains the essence of market ideology, the ideology of consumption.
It is necessary that people constantly bought new ones.
Because if they don’t buy new things, manufacturers and sellers will have no income.
That is, our old things that lie in our own closets and on our own mezzanines are a direct threat to them.
For those who receive income from us.
But is their income really our problem?
This their Problems.
Why We have to think about their income?
But apparently they should.
So they unleash psychologists on us, like heavy artillery.
But psychologists are professional manipulators, so they don’t directly say that our old things are a threat to someone’s income, which they won’t receive because we won’t buy new things.
They are not talking about income, but about getting rid of old junk from our personal space.
Notice the word "junk".
This word carries a negative connotation, and people fall for it.
Hence, by the way, the wonderful word “decluttering” - that is, getting rid of this very trash.
Get rid of old junk so you can get new junk.
By the way, have you noticed that new things don't last long? Shoes that last only one season, phones that quickly become outdated, TVs, refrigerators and washing machines that break down right after the warranty period expires?
Whereas Soviet refrigerators work for forty years without repair!
And Soviet shoes were sturdier...
Why is that so, I wonder?
Isn't it because It is not profitable to produce durable things, otherwise there will be no profit?
This is why we need to dance.
Market ideology is an ideology of destruction, not creation.
The ideology of “decluttering” - that is, getting rid of old things - lies in line with the market ideology,
“Decluttering” is essentially getting rid of excess money in our pockets.
So that this money flows into the pockets of sellers.
"Decluttering" is a way of manipulating people.
Although, of course, there is a rational grain here, because in fact, many people store things (mainly clothes) that they will not wear again, and they really clutters up wardrobes and mezzanines.
But again, it is a person’s personal business what he keeps in his home.
And such aggressive pressure - that we need to get rid of these things - is an undisguised interference in private life.
But in reality it’s something completely different.
That, under the guise of getting rid of unnecessary things, we are offered to get rid of old books, albums with photographs, gifts from friends.
That is, from what is really dear to many.
And I don't understand what the point is.
Why do they want to turn us into mankurts?
In Ivanov, who don’t remember their kinship?
