In this article, we will look at:
- What are papillomas?
- What is the cause of their appearance.
- they are more common in men and women;
- typical papillomas.
Papillomas are new, benign tumors that are well localized in the skin and mucous membranes. The cause is human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted in various ways. The formation of structures depends on the type of virus that infects them.
Transmission Ways
Human papillomavirus:
Infected through- During sexual intercourse, including anal, oral sex, etc.
- Household. The microorganism can live in personal items, personal hygiene items, and infected towels. It easily penetrates the skin through scratches and abrasions.
- From mother to child.
If the virus is transmitted from one part of the body to another, it is usually caused by shaving and cleaning the hair.
The incubation period (from the time HPV enters the body until the onset of symptoms) lasts from a few weeks to several years.
Papillomas in the body are often accompanied by pain, pregnancy, alcoholism, psycho-emotional stress, hypothermia, and decreased immune defenses. The disease of these structures is the same in men and women.
Human Papillomavirus: Types
Depending on the risk of developing skin cancer, mucous papillomaviruses fall into the following groups:
- Low oncogenic risk (HPV types 3, 6, 11, 13, 32, 34, 72, 73, 40–44, 51, 61).
- Moderate oncogenic risk (HPV 52, 56, 58, 30, 35, 45).
- high risk of malignant processes (HPV types 50, 59, 16, 18, 64, 68, 70, 31, 33, 39).
Low-risk microorganisms promote good growth of skin and mucous membranes.
Types of papillomas
Simple
They are also called rough, normal. This increase is usually caused by HPV types 26-29, 77, 63, 41.
Running and burning sensations can occur anywhere on the body. Later, a spherical structure grows, the surface of which gradually hardens. At first, the swollen flesh becomes colored and then darkens. The size of a papilloma on the body varies from 1 mm to cm
These neoplasms are many, from. Lately, little girl's papillomas have been around mothers, the first of which is the largest.
Their localization is the back of the hands, the fingers, the space between them, the area of the chin, the tips of the mouth. There are such papillomas on the neck. A child's knees are affected because children often crawl and become infected through small cracks in the skin.
Plantar
People with these devices can be infected with HPV types 1, 2, and 4. The growth is similar to dry calls, but has some characteristic differences.
The skin is preserved in the callus, the papillomas are absent, and the second is smooth. The appearance of papillomavirus is painful, and the unpleasant sensations when wearing shoes increase. There are black dots inside the papilloma, which are absent in the calluses.
Self-destruction, sometimes common in children. Occasionally, small bubbles form around the neoplasm. Over time, they develop into new papillomas.
Flat papillomas
Enlarged, elongated, oblong shape, rises 1-2 millimeters above the level of the skin. Flat papillomas are located around the mouth, face and upper half of the body. Sometimes papillomas appear in the neck.
There are reports of papillomas on the labia, the neck of girls, in men, in men, in the rectum, near the foramen. These structures are located in groups and are connected to each other. Flat flesh-colored papillomas, slightly darker than the rest of the skin, are caused by papillomavirus strains 10, 49, and 28.
Threaded
If people notice small papillomas in the neck, the growths are usually thread-like. The second name of the device isacrochordus. The latter include HPV types 2 and 7.
Initially, the papillomas on the neck look like small yellow seals, then grow and become rough and have a long, round, thread-like shape. A distinctive feature of similar papillomas in the neck is the thin legs.
Acrocord is more common in men and women over 40 years of age. Growth also occurs in the skin of the upper eyelid, armpits, mammary glands, and the intimate area.
Purpose
<> is called a wart,is caused by 6, 11, 44, 42, 54, 51, 55, 89 types of human papillomavirus in women and men.
Condylomata are small, single, numerous flesh-colored, localized in the female and male genitals, around the foramen. Inside the vagina are papillomas, labia minora, and cervix. In men, condyloma is located at the top of the penis, inside the urethra.
Some elements sometimes join together to form a tumor-like shape on the outside, resembling a rooster's comb or flower petal. The tumor is characterized by rapid growth and extensive injury after a few hours.
There is a recurring course in pathology. They suffer from sexually transmitted infections of the urogenital tract (eg, chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis).
Cervical condylomata are the most dangerous during pregnancy, especially in the cervical canal. Hormonal changes lead to rapid growth, followed by tissue breakdown and secondary infections.
Papillomas in the mouth, larynx
Their appearance is associated with 6, 7, 11, 72, 73, 57, 32 types of papillomavirus. The structures are round with a thin or broad base. The mucous membrane around them is constantly pink, there are no pathological changes. The surface of the plants is light pink and white.
The sheets are lonely, long, and painless when pressed. They are located at the base of the oral cavity, on the back of the tongue, on the hard, soft palate, in the laryngeal mucosa, and range in size from 2 mm to 2 cm.
The rupture of the mucous membrane of the mouth is soaked in blood that it darkens after blood is shed. In the presence of such a disease, the state of health does not deteriorate, and the oral cavity opens freely.
When adults enter the soft palate, glands, and glottis, they feel the presence of a foreign body, cough, and make no sound. If the number of victims increases, these symptoms will intensify.
Pathological growth in children is usually bilateral, the onset of which is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Difficulty breathing, respiration, after physical exertion, and then complete rest.
- They cough and run after running.
- Choking attacks with
stenosis of the larynx(pathological narrowing that prevents air from entering the lower respiratory tract).
The appearance of various external papillomas is associated with different types of HPV infection. You need to see a doctor to get rid of the tumor. If papillomas multiply, multiply rapidly, cause discomfort, or become permanently injured, they should be treated immediately.
