Mechanism of papilloma appearance

Papillomas, warts and warts are formations that appear on the human body when infected with the papilloma virus. The infectious pathogen is transmitted from the carrier to a healthy person in three ways:

  1. From mother to child at birth. This happens when pregnant women have genital warts. As a result, papillomas appear in the child's mouth, throat, larynx, nose and respiratory tract.
  2. Using household contacts. In order to become infected with the papilloma virus, close contact with the affairs of a person with a body education is sufficient.
  3. During sexual intercourse. The most common type of infection. Usually the effects of sex with the carrier are warts in intimate places: anal and genitals. If it is found, you should contact your gynecologist immediately to avoid any side effects: careless handling can lead to trauma leading to the possibility of degeneration in the neoplasm, the development of a cancerous tumor.

Minor, invisible damage to the skin or mucous membranes is sufficient to enter the human bloodstream.

For this reason, even protected sex cannot prevent disease.

Causes of papillomas

The human papilloma virus is a highly infectious disease. It is almost impossible to prevent an infection. In today's world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Many fewer people experience skin growths.

To activate HPV, the body's natural defenses must be weakened. Before papillomas appear on the body, external and internal factors take effect.

External factors

The causes of papillomas on the body can vary. Everything a person comes in contact with can be attributed to external provocateurs:

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygiene devices, personal items. This includes the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with an ordinary razor, the use of scissors for manicure, make-up.
  2. Visiting public swimming pools: swimming pools, saunas, saunas, beaches. Walking barefoot increases the risk of skin damage.
  3. Salon and medical procedures. The lack of sanitary standards in establishments using reusable devices contributes to the transmission of viral infections. You can become infected at the beautician's office by performing a piercing. In recent years, the popular eyelash extension procedure will cause growths to appear on the eyelid.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat causes microcracks in the skin. The virus enters such lesions, developing papillomas in problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpit (filamentous papillomas), under the chest (hanging growths), in the lower abdomen and in the groin area.
  5. Direct contact with organizations. Touching can spread the virus throughout the body, increasing the number of warts.
  6. A woman carries the human papillomavirus to a baby as it passes through the birth canal. If the growths are in the mother's genital area, on the cervix or vagina, it is very likely that the baby will be born already infected. This can happen if the papillomas are on the mother's breast.
  7. Sexual contact. The usual way to transfer HPV from one partner to another. The more sexual partners a person has, the greater the chance of contracting a viral infection.

It is not difficult to catch the papillomavirus. One cannot protect oneself from all provocative factors. In order to activate the virus, the body's internal changes must be initiated.

Internal factors

Internal causes include processes that lead to weakened immunity, activation of infection.

  1. Acute body processes and tablet use. During treatment, the body's ability to resist pathogens on its own is suppressed.
  2. Stress. Any psychological shock or experience leads to a weakening of protective functions. Strong experiences or an emotional outbreak result in signals of various diseases, such as the appearance of warts.
  3. Hypothermia or overheating. Body forces are used to determine normal body temperature indicators. It becomes sensitive to any external factors.
  4. Pregnancy for women. After conception, a woman's body needs to lower its immune system to prevent rejection of the fetus. Against the background of this condition, a favorable environment is often created for various infectious diseases, the signs of which have not been observed before. Sometimes after childbirth, the body recovers, inhibits pathogenic processes, growths disappear on their own. It is not recommended to remove growths at this stage, most removal methods are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They are possible during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause or illness.
  6. Poor nutrition. Vitamin deficiency leads to malfunctions of some or all of the vital systems. Immunity decreases. People suffer from the onset of disease in the autumn-winter period, when there is an acute shortage of useful products.
  7. Presence of bad habits. Alcohol and smoking reduce the ability to fight pathogens. According to doctors, people with addiction are more likely to suffer from the papilloma virus.

Manifestation signs for men and women

Viral moles are not significantly different. If they start to climb on the head, neck, back, face, abdomen or limbs, it makes no difference who owns the papilloma - a woman or a man. There are certain differences in virus transmission and damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive lid, they are easily injured during sexual intercourse. According to experts, the anal aisle is most likely to be injured. The head of the penis is considered stable. Many homosexuals suffer from genital warts (acute warts on the legs).

For girls, growths may appear on the lips of the pope, pubic lining, clitoris or vagina.

Without treatment, warts can coalesce and cause the development of papillomatosis. The danger to women is the defeat of cervical warts. If the infection is with a type of virus with a high degree of oncogenicity, there is a chance of developing cancer.

In men, growths affect the pubic area, the penis and the upper layers of the epidermis. The growths are able to grow into the urethra, which causes signs of the development of inflammatory processes, problems with urine drainage.

Papilloma prevention

It is almost impossible to prevent growths from appearing on the body. Adherence to some rules will reduce the risk:

  • observance of the norms of individual use of things;
  • skin protection in public places;
  • proper nutrition;
  • rejection of bad habits;
  • constant sexual partner.

It is recommended that girls who reach puberty be vaccinated against dangerous HPV strains with a high degree of oncogenicity. The vaccine is expected to prevent the development of cervical cancer. Treatment at home cannot guarantee recovery. Traditional therapies (herbal treatments) will reduce external symptoms but leave the cause of the disease. If you develop growths of unknown origin, you should consult a doctor at a medical facility. Your doctor will prescribe a topical antiviral medicine.

You need to be careful about your body to avoid health problems. If a person receives a signal from the body when viral papillomas appear on the body, this should not be ignored. You should seek professional help immediately. An experienced doctor will choose a modern method of treatment based on a diagnostic test.
