What the body shows when a papilloma grows in the body

Papilloma appears - this is a signal of a process taking place in the body that requires immediate attention and referral to a specialist. Papillomas are benign growths that are common to every third person on the planet. In most cases, such elements only cause cosmetic discomfort, but sometimes such elements can lead to the development of dangerous diseases.

Mechanism of papilloma appearance

Papillomas, condylomas and warts are formations that appear in the human body due to papilloma virus infection. Infectious pathogens are transmitted from carriers to healthy people in three ways:

  1. From mother to child at birth. This occurs in the case of the presence of genital warts in pregnant women. As a result, papillomas appear in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nose and respiratory tract of the baby.
  2. Through domestic relationships. To be infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to make close contact with the things of a person who has education in the body.
  3. During intercourse. The most common type of infection. As a rule, the consequences of sex with the carrier are warts in intimate places: the anal and genital areas. If detected, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to avoid undesirable consequences: due to undesirable handling, trauma is possible, which leads to the possibility of degeneration into neoplasms, the development of cancerous tumors.

Small invisible lesions on the skin or mucous membranes are enough to penetrate a person’s bloodstream.

For this reason, even protected sex cannot prevent disease.

Causes of papilloma

Human papillomavirus is a highly contagious disease. It is almost impossible to prevent infection. In the modern world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Fewer people deal with skin growth.

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

External factors

The cause of papilloma on the body can vary. Everything a person is exposed to can be attributed to outside provocateurs:

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygiene, personal items. These include the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with a regular razor, the use of scissors for manicures, decorative cosmetics.
  2. Visit the public baths: swimming pool, bath, sauna, beach. Walking barefoot increases the risk of skin damage.
  3. Salon and medical procedures. Lack of hygiene levels in institutions where reusable tools contribute to the spread of viral infections. You can get infected in a beauty office while doing a piercing. The eyelash lengthening procedure, which has been popular lately, will cause the appearance of growths on the eyelids.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat provokes the appearance of microcracks on the skin. The virus penetrates the damage, papillomas form in the problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpits (filamentous papillomas), under the breasts (growth hanging), in the lower abdomen, and in the groin area.
  5. Direct relationship with the entity. Touching can spread the virus throughout the body, increasing the number of warts.
  6. A woman spreads the human papillomavirus virus to a current baby through the birth canal. If the growth occurs 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 papilloma is in the mother's breast.
  7. Sexual intercourse. 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 virus. One cannot protect oneself from all the provoking factors. To activate the virus, internal changes in the body must be triggered.

Internal factor

Internal causes include processes that cause immune decline, activation of infection.

  1. Acute body processes and pill intake. During treatment, the body’s ability to fight pathogens independently is suppressed.
  2. Pressure. Any shock or psychological experience leads to a weakness of the protective function. As a result of a strong experience or emotional outburst, symptoms of various diseases arise, such as the appearance of warts.
  3. Hypothermia or overheating. Body strength is used to set an indication of normal body temperature. It becomes vulnerable to any external factors.
  4. Pregnancy in women. After fertilization, a woman’s body needs to weaken the immune system to prevent fetal rejection. Against the background of such conditions, a favorable environment is often formed for various infectious diseases, the symptoms of which were previously not observed. Sometimes, after childbirth, the body recovers, suppresses the pathogenic process, its growth disappears by itself. It is not recommended to remove the growth at this stage, most removal methods are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They may occur during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, or as a result of illness.
  6. Poor nutrition. Vitamin deficiencies cause damage to some or all vital systems. Decreased immunity. People suffer from the onset of the disease in the autumn-winter, when there is a severe shortage of useful products.
  7. The presence of bad habits. Alcohol and smoking reduce the ability to fight pathogens. People who are addicted, according to doctors, are more likely to suffer from papillomavirus.

Characteristics of manifestation in men and women

Viral moles did not differ significantly. If they start to rise to the head, neck, buttocks, face, abdomen or limbs, it makes no difference who the owner of the papilloma is - a woman or a man. There are certain differences in viral transmission and damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive cover, easily injured during intercourse. According to expert observations, the anal part tends 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 can appear on the buttocks, labia, clitoris or vaginal cavity.

Without treatment, warts can merge and lead to the development of papillomatosis. The danger for women is the defeat of cervical warts. If the infection occurs with a virus with a high level of oncogenicity, there is a possibility of cancer.

In men, growth affects the genital area, glans penis and the upper layer of the epidermis. Growth can grow into the urethra, which provokes signs of the development of inflammatory processes, problems with the outflow of urine.

Prevention of papilloma

It is almost impossible to prevent the appearance of growths on the body. Following a few rules will reduce the risk:

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

Girls who have reached puberty are recommended to be vaccinated against a dangerous type of HPV with high oncogenic levels. It is believed that the vaccine will prevent the development of cervical cancer. Home treatment cannot guarantee recovery. Traditional methods of therapy (herbal treatment) will relieve external symptoms, but leave the cause of the disease. If the growth appears in the body of unknown origin, you should see a doctor at a medical facility. The doctor will prescribe a topical medication for the virus.

To avoid health problems, you should pay attention to your body. If a person receives a signal from the body when a viral papilloma appears in the body, it cannot be ignored. You must immediately seek help from a specialist. An experienced physician, based on diagnostic examination, will select the latest treatment methods.
