Removal of condylomas using the radio wave method: indications, contraindications

Surgitron is a universal radio wave device for eliminating various growths. It is widely used both for cosmetology and medicine. This technique has gained popularity due to its completely painless and bloodless excision process. In addition, the procedure takes little time and allows the patient to go home immediately after the operation. Removing condylomas with Surgitron will allow you to quickly and effectively get rid of annoying formations that not only have an unsightly appearance, but are also dangerous to health.

How safe is the method?

Under the influence of temperature or chemicals, the tissues of the formation are destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Efficiency has been proven by a large number of patients. If you follow all the rules of work, treat the procedure responsibly, and take into account contraindications, then any method can be called harmless.

The success of cauterization largely depends on the extent of the spread of papillomas and their location.

If the growths are large, several visits to the doctor may be required. Hard-to-reach areas require the correct choice of method and the skill of the doctor to prevent damage to healthy areas.

There is blood coming from the wart

Blood is released from the area of the neoplasm only if the blood vessels are damaged. This is usually due to an unintended effect on the wart. Usually, minor bleeding does not pose any particular danger, but there is a risk of introducing an infection into the body through an existing injury.

The location of the wart is also important. If it is located above a large blood vessel or artery, there is a risk of damage to it, which can result in heavy bleeding. However, this is only possible in cases where the formation is large and the damage is significant.

How to stop bleeding

The release of blood from a wart risks spreading the papillomavirus infection to healthy tissue. To avoid this, it is necessary to carefully ensure that the affected hemalymph does not reach other areas of the skin.

You can stop bleeding with the help of some means, for example, a styptic pencil, as well as by using cotton or gauze swabs. They should be pressed as tightly as possible to the wound site, and then fixed until the bleeding stops.

What methods are used for cauterization

The accessible and inexpensive method of cryodestruction is widely used in medical practice. Liquid nitrogen at low temperatures leads to tissue necrosis. Everything happens painlessly and quickly. There is virtually no bleeding.

Drugs that have a chemical effect are used to treat formations on the skin and mucous membranes. Cauterization with solkovagin, condylin or solcoderm is more often used in the presence of small condylomas. Immediately after this, a protective film is formed, which is torn off after a few days.

Laser treatment is performed under local anesthesia. Small scars may form after the procedure.

Electrocoagulation involves the application of high temperature using current. After excision of unpleasant formations with an electric knife, a scab remains in their place. After a few weeks it disappears.

What do you use to solve the problem?

The use of physical and chemical methods is quite effective in the fight against papillomas.

In medical preparations, the active ingredient is acid or extracts obtained from plants. The doctor decides how best to perform cauterization after a thorough examination of the papillomas.

When the choice is between the use of high and low temperatures, an important point is the general condition of the patient, concomitant diseases and characteristics of the body.

To work with laser and current, you need special tools that will help you remove papilloma more professionally than at home.

Feelings during the procedure

Many people are concerned about the question of whether it is painful to get rid of such growths on the skin as condylomas. It depends on the chosen method. Cryodestruction and the chemical method do not require anesthesia. In other cases, ointments with anesthetics are used.

Since each person’s body reacts individually to external irritating factors, the pain sensitivity threshold is different. Therefore, the same procedure for removing papillomas can cause different emotions, but the more negative reviews, the more unbearable cauterization seems.

How does the period pass after removal of the formation?

For small growths, one procedure is sufficient. Depending on the method chosen, recovery can take up to several weeks. Ideally, you do not make any complaints and lead your usual rhythm of life.

Minor bloody discharge from the wound is considered normal. If bleeding occurs, you should immediately contact a specialist. Perhaps the manifestation of an individual reaction of the body in the form of aching pain, tingling, weakness.

All this should go away a week after the removal was carried out, and not a trace of condylomas will remain in the same place.

Why does discharge appear?

There may be bleeding immediately or within a few hours after getting rid of the unpleasant growths.

This happens because tissues are damaged under the influence of high temperatures. Blood clots do not form as quickly.

Minor discharge may last for several days after various types of condylomas are cauterized.

During the healing process, fluid is formed, and most of it consists of lymph. In such cases, there is no need to worry, because this serves as evidence of the correct development of the wound process.

Fluid oozes from the wart

In some cases, lymphatic fluid, colloquially referred to as “ichor,” may be released from the wart. As a rule, its appearance is due to the reaction of the body’s protective barrier to an existing lesion. This kind of liquid consists of a huge number of leukocytes, which prevent pathogens from penetrating into tissues.

The appearance of lymph may indicate the presence of early stages of the inflammatory process in the area of the wart. This lesion is a direct indication to consult a doctor to avoid possible complications.

Personal hygiene during the healing period

Before performing cauterization, the doctor informs patients about proper care in the period after getting rid of papilloma. The protective layer that covers the wound surface must always be clean and dry. To do this, you must follow some rules:

If such a procedure was carried out, then intimate life must be stopped for a while in order to minimize the re-formation of genital warts on the genitals.
If the removal was performed on the body, you need to shower regularly, preferably without using a washcloth. Carry out hygiene procedures carefully so as not to damage anything.
During the first time after treatment, you need to wash yourself as carefully as possible, because the mucous membrane on which condylomas previously lived needs time to recover. Do not use soap or gels. You can use a decoction of medicinal herbs that have antiseptic properties. You need to perform hygiene at least twice a day.
In some cases, as prescribed by a doctor, it is necessary to use ointments.

For whom the method is contraindicated

There are certain conditions in which the question of how best to remove condyloma and whether it should be cauterized is controversial. In cases of malignant degeneration, the use of chemicals is contraindicated. It should also not be used by pregnant, breastfeeding mothers or children. There is individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

The question of whether cauterization can be done in each individual case is decided only by a doctor who specializes in formations such as papillomas. Cryodestruction can be called a universal method with virtually no contraindications. But the approach should still be individual.

Sometimes it may seem that cauterization is not at all necessary, because papillomas do not always cause concern, but is it worth risking your health? After all, dealing with complications is definitely worse. And no negative aspects that appear after the removal of condyloma can be compared with them.

Good day everyone! On October 30, I had condylomas cauterized inside the vagina (with radio waves). Before this, tests were taken for all infections, everything was ok. The affected area was quite extensive. After this, there was first watery discharge, and then bloody discharge. Three weeks later I had an appointment, the doctor said that everything was healing there, but since the area was large, the process was not so fast. After that, a week later, CDs began, and after that, my husband and I resumed sexual activity with a condom (in total, abstinence was 5 weeks). During the exercise it was painful and there was bleeding. It is now December 10th, i.e. 1.5 months have already passed since the cauterization, and I have copious discharge, sometimes watery yellow, sometimes thick green. I don’t understand how it can take so long to heal there! I don't see the doctor until Saturday, and I'm in complete panic. Please share advice from those who may have encountered this. Thank you
