Papillomavirus type 35 is one of the strains of papillomavirus that is transmitted through household contact and sexual contact. It has a moderate degree of oncogenicity. It is quite easy to become infected with this type of pathogen - according to statistics, from 70 to 80% of people on Earth are carriers of HPV.

Why is HPV 35 strain dangerous?

There are 4 groups of HPV based on the level of oncogenicity, that is, the likelihood with which they can cause cancer. The 35th strain is included in the third group and can lead to cancer quite often. In approximately 60% of cases of cervical cancer, this strain is found in the patient’s blood.

The presence of papillomavirus type 35 in the blood is considered a dangerous precancerous condition, since it quite often causes the degeneration of cells of epidermal growths and papillomas on the mucous membrane due to the specific structure of DNA with a gene that affects the activity of their reproduction.

Despite the fact that HPV 35 is not a highly oncogenic virus, in addition to cancer, it can cause other unpleasant complications. Moreover, much more often, diseases caused by the 35th strains affect representatives of the fairer sex. Men suffer from it much less often. The pathogen provokes the development of polyps on the uterus, dysplasia, erosion, and inflammation of the reproductive system.

Polyps are one of the most common complications of the activation of this pathogen in the body. Under unfavorable conditions, they can also degenerate and become malignant.

Dysplasia is considered a precancerous condition. The danger of this disease increases with the degree. The first and second stages are successfully treated, the third stage is quite dangerous and should be under the close supervision of a doctor.

Among representatives of the fairer sex infected with this strain of HPV, the risk of developing infectious inflammation in the genitals, such as candidiasis and vaginitis, increases several times. This is due to the fact that human papillomavirus type 35 in women causes the growth of condylomas on the mucous membranes, and during sexual intercourse they can be damaged, inflamed and cause complications of associated infection.

As for men, then the 35th strain usually does not manifest itself on the external genitalia. But sometimes it affects the urethra. Growths form in the urethra, which increase the risk of developing urethritis, cystitis, and bacterial prostatitis. Also, in men, papillomavirus type 35 often affects the intestines, causing polyps. All of these conditions require surgery.

Routes of transmission of papillomavirus type 35

This pathogen is transmitted in the same way as other HPV strains. The main routes of infection: household contacts, sexual relations, infected mother. This virus is concentrated in human fluid, so infection often occurs even through kissing if the human body is weakened, since HPV damage occurs only when immunity deteriorates.

The risk of infection is also higher when the local immune response is reduced. For example, thrush and vaginosis are considered “favorable” soil for HPV 35 to enter a woman’s body.

Deterioration of immunity is a risk factor and increases the risk of infection at the household level, for example, if a person uses other people’s personal hygiene items.

You are more likely to become infected with papillomavirus type 35 if the following factors are present:

1. Chronic foci of infection in the body;
2. Frequent colds, recent flu, pneumonia;
3. Chronic fatigue, stress;
4. Avitaminosis;
5. Use of antibiotics and hormonal medications.

All of the above factors are involved in the process of immune suppression. A completely healthy body can prevent the penetration of papillomavirus type 35 into DNA, and the immune system can suppress the pathogen until it is completely destroyed. If infection has already occurred, then it is impossible to get rid of HPV.

The main symptoms of infection with papillomavirus type 35

This strain of HPV can cause the formation of various growths - papillomas, condylomas, polyps and warts. If papillomas and warts affect the skin, then condylomas and polyps affect the mucous membranes.

Immediately after infection, the patient may not notice the symptoms of papillomavirus type 35 entering the blood. In some cases, the following symptoms occur:

1. A slight itchy rash at the site where the pathogen enters the body, redness of these areas;
2. A jump in body temperature to 38-39 degrees in the absence of other signs of viral or bacterial damage;
3. Chills, fever.

Neoplasms when infected with papilloma virus type 35 do not appear immediately. He needs time to adapt and begin to develop his life.

The growths are quite easy to detect. They are often painless and do not cause discomfort. An exception is genital warts, which can itch and bleed when injured.

But the development of papillomas on the internal genital organs, as well as in the urethra of men, can be asymptomatic for a long time. In some cases, when condylomas and polyps are damaged during sexual intercourse, bleeding, pain during intercourse, and purulent discharge may occur. An indirect symptom of the growth of tumors in the vagina and cervix is ​​an increase in the amount of hormonal secretion.

Features of diagnosing HPV type 35

Early diagnosis of the disease will help prevent the development of cancer. It is important to establish the HPV strain during research in order to select the correct treatment.

The primary diagnosis is established by visual examination of tumors on the patient’s body. Next, the doctor prescribes additional tests:

1. PCR. Effective against 45-50 varieties of pathogens, including strain 35. The analysis makes it possible to determine the degree of damage to the body by papillomavirus type 35.
2. Test digest. Helps identify the viral load on the body. It is usually used in parallel with cytological analysis of the cervix in women.
3. Cytology. Allows you to identify pathological degenerating mucosal cells when infected with papillomavirus type 35. Detects precancerous conditions, such as dysplasia.
4. Biopsy. This analysis is carried out only in the case of an advanced stage of cervical lesions, when the risk of cancer is quite high.

Often a general blood test is also prescribed, which helps in identifying the strain of the pathogen and the inflammatory processes associated with HPV in the body.

Methods for treating human papillomavirus type 35

If the presence of HPV is confirmed by tests, the doctor prescribes the necessary treatment. It usually comes down to a set of measures to eliminate tumors, as well as suppress the virus and strengthen the body’s immune response. Let's consider various treatment options for HPV type 35.

Removal of tumors

Currently, there are many ways to destroy growths caused by papillomavirus type 35 in women and men. The method is selected by the attending physician depending on the location of the tumor and the individual characteristics of the patient.

The main methods for eliminating papillomas are:

1. Laser destruction. Resection is carried out using a laser beam. This method is characterized by low invasiveness, painlessness, absence of scars. Therefore, it is optimally suited for eliminating tumors on the face and visible parts of the body. The price of laser removal of type 35 papillomas in women and men is 1000-2100 rubles in Russia and 450-600 hryvnia in Ukraine. Read also about laser destruction of cancerous papillomas.
2. Radio wave removal. One of the modern methods of treatment is characterized by painlessness, minimal tissue damage, and precise action directly on the tumor. Does not leave scars or scars. The cost of radiosurgery against papillomas is 1500-2500 rubles in Russia and 550-800 hryvnia in Ukraine.
3. Electrocoagulation. In this case, electric current signals of various frequencies are used. Damage to the tissues of the growth occurs and subsequent rejection of the dead areas. Electrocoagulation is used to treat single and expanded tumors. The price of the procedure is 750-1600 rubles in Russia and 350-500 hryvnia in Ukraine. This method is also used to get rid of vulgar warts.
4. Destruction by liquid nitrogen. This operation involves freezing the papilloma and destroying the pathogen. It is important to accurately apply the substance to the tumor to avoid damage to healthy tissue around it. The cost of cryodestruction of papillomas is 800-1600 rubles in Russia and 320-450 hryvnia in Ukraine.
5. Surgical removal. In this case, a traditional scalpel is used and the papilloma is excised under local anesthesia. The method is quite traumatic, there is a risk of bleeding, so it is prescribed less and less. The price of surgical removal of papillomas is 800-1000 rubles in Russia and 180-300 hryvnia in Ukraine.

In addition, the doctor may prescribe chemical removal of papillomas Type 35 in women and men. For this, various caustic substances are used, for example, trichloroacetic acid. However, this method is dangerous due to damage to neighboring tissues if the procedure is performed incorrectly. Therefore, it is not often prescribed.

Drug therapy for papillomavirus type 35

The main goal of drug treatment is to suppress the activity of the virus. This is achieved in two ways: antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy. In the first case, HPV is suppressed by medications that prevent it from multiplying and being active. In the second case, papillomavirus type 35 in women and men is suppressed by the body’s immune forces, which are activated under the influence of special drugs.

As a rule, the doctor prescribes a combination treatment:

1. Immunostimulants. Means that activate local and general human immunity. Lykopid, Interferon, as well as their analogues - Transfer Factor, Polyoxidonium, Derinat - have proven themselves well. Herbal immunomodulators, such as Viferon, Wobenzym, Cycloferon and their analogues - Alpizarin, Imiquimod, can also be used.
2. Antiviral drugs. A fairly popular treatment for papillomavirus type 35 is oxolinic ointment. There is no official data that would confirm its effectiveness in the fight against HPV, but many patients report positive results. Also among the local antiviral agents is Panavir. It is made from plant ingredients and is therefore non-toxic. You can take the following antiviral drugs with a similar effect - Isoprinosine, Groprinosin.

Any medications for the treatment of papillomavirus type 35 should be prescribed by the attending physician based on available tests. Self-medication of HPV is prohibited, as there is a risk of degeneration of tumors in case of improper therapy.

Traditional medicine for the treatment of HPV type 35

Traditional recipes cannot be used independently to treat papillomavirus. However, they can be a good help as part of complex antiviral therapy. The goal of this treatment is to strengthen the immune system and suppress viral activity.

You can increase your immunity when infected with papillomavirus type 35 by taking various herbal decoctions. For example, it works well a mixture of nettles, chokeberry leaves and dandelion rhizomes. The components must be mixed in equal parts and brew 1 teaspoon with 1 glass of boiling water. You need to drink the resulting drink throughout the day.

In addition, tumors can be affected locally:

1. Grind the garlic into a paste and mix with the same amount of Vaseline. We place such a compress on the area of ​​growths and leave it overnight under a bandage.
2. Table vinegar can be applied with a pipette to papillomas. In this case, it is necessary to treat the skin around the tumor with Vaseline to avoid injury to healthy areas.
3. Chop green walnuts and fill with kerosene. Let the mixture sit for 3 weeks. We treat the papillomas with the resulting liquid until they completely disappear.
