What does the body mean when papillomas grow in the body

Papillomas appear - a signal about the processes taking place in the body, which require immediate attention and consultation with a specialist. Papillomas are plants that every third person on the planet is familiar with. In most cases, such elements cause only cosmetic discomfort, but sometimes can lead to the development of dangerous diseases.

The mechanism of formation of papillomas

Papillomas, condylomata and warts are formations in the human body that occur as a result of infection with the papilloma virus. Infectious pathogens can be transmitted from a 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 form in the baby's mouth, larynx, larynx, nose, and respiratory tract.
  2. Through home connections. In order to be infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to be in close contact with the things of an educated person.
  3. During sexual intercourse. The most common type of infection. As a rule, the result of sexual intercourse with the carrier is a wart in the intimate areas: in the anal and genital areas. If it is detected, it is necessary to immediately consult a gynecologist to avoid side effects: careless handling can lead to trauma, which leads to the destruction of neoplasms and the development of cancer.

A small, invisible sore on the skin or mucous membranes is enough to pass into a person's bloodstream.

For this reason, even unprotected sex cannot prevent the 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 struggle with skin growth.

To activate HPV, the body's natural defenses need to be weakened. Before papillomas appear in the body, there are external and internal factors.

External factors

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

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygiene products, personal items. These include underwear, toothbrushes, towels, razors, manicure scissors, and cosmetics.
  2. Visits to public baths: 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 devices are used contributes to the spread of viral infections. You can get the infection from a cosmetologist's office during the piercing. Eyelash extension procedures have become popular in recent years and lead to eyelash growth.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat causes microcracks on the skin. The virus infects and causes papillomas in problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpits (fibrous papillomas), under the breasts (growing growths), in the lower abdomen and groin.
  5. Direct contact with legal entities. Touching spreads the virus throughout the body and increases the number of warts.
  6. A woman transmits human papillomavirus to her baby through the birth canal. If it is in the mother's genitals, cervix or vagina, the baby may be born infected earlier. These papillomas may be present 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 risk of contracting a viral infection.

Papillomavirus is not difficult to catch. One cannot protect oneself from all provocative factors. In order to activate the virus, it is necessary to activate internal changes in the body.

Internal factors

Internal causes include processes that lead to a decrease in immunity and activation of infection.

  1. Acute processes in the body and taking pills. During treatment, the body's ability to fight off pathogens on its own is suppressed.
  2. Stress. Any psychological shock or experience leads to a weakening of protective functions. As a result of intense experience or emotional outbursts, signals of various diseases appear, such as the formation of warts.
  3. Hypothermia or fever. The body's energy is used to produce normal body temperature. It becomes sensitive to various external factors.
  4. Pregnancy in women. After pregnancy, a woman's body needs to weaken its immune system to prevent the fetus from rejecting it. Against the background of such conditions, a favorable environment is often created for various infectious diseases, the symptoms of which have not been observed before. Sometimes, after birth, the body recovers, suppresses pathogenic processes, and growths disappear on their own. Plant removal is not recommended at this stage, and most removal methods are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They can occur during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, or as a result of illness.
  6. Malnutrition. Lack of vitamins can lead to the failure of some vital systems. Immunity drops. People suffer from diseases in the autumn-winter period, with a sharp shortage of nutrients.
  7. Bad habits. Alcohol and smoking reduce the ability to fight pathogens. According to doctors, addicts are more likely to get the papillomavirus.

Features of the appearance of men and women

Viral molds are not much different. If they begin to appear on the head, neck, shoulders, face, abdomen or arms and legs, it does not matter who owns the papillomas - male or female. There are certain differences in the spread of the virus and in the lesions of the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive flap that can be easily injured during sexual intercourse. According to experts, the anal canal may be injured. The head of the penis is considered stable. Many homosexuals suffer from genital warts (sharp warts on the legs).

In girls, growth may occur on the papilla, labia, clitoris, or vagina.

If left untreated, warts can coalesce and lead to the development of papillomatosis. The danger for women is the defeat of the warts of the cervix. If the infection is caused by a type of virus with high oncogenicity, there is a risk of cancer.

In men, growth affects the pubic area, the penis, and the epidermis. Adults can grow into the urethra, which causes signs of inflammatory processes and problems with urination.

Prevention of papillomas

It is almost impossible to prevent growth in the body. Following some rules will reduce the risk:

  • observance of norms of individual use of things;
  • skin protection in public places;
  • proper nutrition;
  • giving up bad habits;
  • Having a stable sexual partner.

Adult girls are recommended to be vaccinated against high-risk HPV strains. The vaccine is believed to prevent the development of cervical cancer. Home treatment does not guarantee recovery. Traditional methods of therapy (herbal treatment) alleviate the external symptoms, but leave the cause of the disease. If there is an increase in the body, it is necessary to consult a doctor. The doctor will prescribe a topical antiviral drug.

You need to take care of your body to avoid health problems. If a person receives a signal from the body when viral papillomas appear in the body, it should be ignored. You should seek professional help immediately. An experienced doctor chooses a modern method of treatment based on diagnostic tests.
