What the body signals when papillomas grow in the body

Papillomas appear - this is a signal about the processes occurring in the body that require urgent attention and referral to a specialist. Papillomas are benign growths that every third person on the planet is familiar with. In most cases, such elements cause only cosmetic discomfort, but sometimes they can cause the development of dangerous diseases.

The mechanism of appearance of papillomas

Papillomas, warts and warts are formations that appear in the human body as a result of infection with the papilloma virus. An infectious pathogen is transmitted from a carrier to a healthy person in three ways:

  1. From mother to child at birth. This occurs in cases of the presence of genital warts in pregnant women. As a result, papillomas appear in the baby's oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nose, and respiratory tract.
  2. Through home contacts. To be infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to have close contact with the things of a person who has education in the body.
  3. During sexual intercourse. The most common type of infection. As a rule, the consequence of sex with the carrier are warts in intimate places: anal and genital areas. If detected, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to prevent undesirable consequences: due to careless treatment, trauma is possible, leading to the possibility of degeneration into a neoplasm, the development of a cancerous tumor.

A small, invisible wound on the skin or mucosa is enough to penetrate a person’s bloodstream.

For this reason, even protected sex cannot prevent disease.

Causes of papillomas

Human papillomavirus is a highly infectious disease. Almost it is almost impossible to prevent infection. In the modern world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Far fewer people deal with skin growth.

To activate HPV, the body's natural defenses must be weakened. The appearance of papillomas in the body is preceded by the influence of external and internal factors.

External factors

The causes of papilloma in the body can be different. Anything to which a person is exposed can be attributed to external provocateurs:

  1. Use of cosmetic equipment, hygiene, personal items. This includes the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with an ordinary razor, the use of manicure scissors, decorative cosmetics.
  2. Visiting public bathing places: swimming pools, baths, saunas, beaches. Walking barefoot increases the risk of skin damage.
  3. Salon and medical procedures. Lack of sanitary standards in institutions where reusable equipment is used contributes to the transmission of viral infection. You can get infected in the beautician's office while performing the drilling. The eyelash extension procedure, known in recent years, will cause the appearance of eyelid growths.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothes. Sweat provokes the appearance of microcracks on the skin. The virus penetrates into such lesions, papillomas form in problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpits (filamentous papillomas), under the chest (hanging growths), in the lower abdomen and in the groin area.
  5. Direct contact with entities. The infection can spread the virus throughout the body, increasing the number of warts.
  6. A woman transmits the human papillomavirus to a child as it passes through the birth canal. If growths are present in the mother in the genital area, in the cervix or in the 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. A common form of HPV transmission from one partner to another. The more sexual partners a person has, the higher the chance of contracting a viral infection.

It is not difficult to catch the papillomavirus. A person cannot protect himself from all provocative factors. To activate the virus, internal changes in the body must be stimulated.

Internal factors

Internal reasons include processes that cause decreased immunity, activation of infection.

  1. Acute body processes and taking pills. During treatment, the body's ability to independently resist pathogens is suppressed.
  2. Stress. Any psychological shock or experience leads to a weakening of protective functions. As a result of a strong experience or emotional outburst, signals of various diseases appear, for example, the appearance of warts.
  3. Hypothermia or overheating. Body forces are expended on creating normal body temperature indicators. He becomes sensitive to any external factors.
  4. Pregnancy in women. After conception, the female body must weaken the immune system to prevent fetal rejection. Against the background of such a condition, often creates a favorable environment for various infectious diseases, the signs of which were not previously observed. Sometimes, after birth, the body heals, suppresses pathogenic processes, the growths disappear on their own. Removal of growths is not recommended at this stage, most removal methods are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They are possible during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, or as a result of illness.
  6. Poor nutrition. Lack of vitamins leads to dysfunction of some or all vital systems. Immunity falls. People suffer from the onset of diseases 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. People with addictions, according to doctors, are more likely to suffer from papillomavirus.

Characteristics of manifestation in men and women

Viral moles do not change much. If they start to stick to the head, neck, back, face, abdomen or limbs, it does not matter who owns the papillomas - a woman or a man. There are certain differences in the transmission of the virus and the damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive covering, easily damaged during sexual intercourse. According to specialist observations, the anal passage is more likely to be traumatized. The head of the penis is considered stable. Many homosexuals suffer from genital warts (acute warts on the legs).

In girls, growths may appear on the papilla, labia, clitoris or vaginal cavity.

Without treatment, warts can coalesce and lead to the development of papillomatosis. The risk for women is the loss of cervical warts. If the infection occurred with a type of virus with a high degree of oncogenicity, there is a possibility of developing cancer.

In men, the growths affect the pubic area, the glans penis, and the upper layers of the epidermis. Growths are able to grow in the urethra, which provokes signs of development of inflammatory processes, problems with urine output.

Prevention of papillomas

Almost it is almost impossible to prevent the appearance of growths in the body. Following some rules will reduce the risk:

  • compliance with the norms of individual use of things;
  • skin protection in public places;
  • proper nutrition;
  • rejection of bad habits;
  • to have a permanent sexual partner.

Girls who have reached puberty are recommended to be vaccinated against dangerous HPV varieties with a high degree of oncogenicity. It is believed that the vaccine will prevent the development of cervical cancer. Home treatment can not guarantee recovery. Traditional methods of therapy (herbal treatment) will alleviate the external symptoms, but will leave the cause of the disease. If growths appear in the body of unknown origin, you should consult a doctor at a medical institution. The doctor will prescribe a local remedy for the virus.

To avoid health problems, you need to be attentive to your body. If a person receives a signal from the body when viral papillomas appear on the body, it should not be ignored. You should seek professional help immediately. An experienced physician, based on a diagnostic examination, will select an updated method of treatment.
