What are the body's signals about when papillomas are growing on the body?

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

The mechanism of the appearance of papillomas

Papillomas, condyloma, and warts are formations that appear on the human body due to infection with the papilloma virus. Infectious pathogens are transmitted from a carrier to a healthy person in three ways:

  1. From mother to child at birth. This occurs in cases 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 household contacts. To be infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to have close contact with the objects of a person who has education in the body.
  3. During intercourse. The most common type of infection. As a rule, the consequence of sex with a carrier is warts in intimate places: the anal and genital areas. If detected, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to prevent undesirable consequences: due to careless handling, trauma is possible, which entails possible degeneration into a neoplasm, the development of a cancerous tumor.

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 papillomas

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. Far fewer people are dealing 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 impact of external and internal factors.

External factors

The causes of papillomas on the body can vary. Everything that a person is exposed to can be attributed to external provocateurs:

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygienic devices, personal belongings. This includes the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with a regular razor, the use of scissors for manicure, decorative cosmetics.
  2. Visiting 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 transmission of viral infections. You can get infected in a beautician's office during a piercing. Eyelash extension procedures, which have become popular in recent years, will cause growths to appear on the eyelids.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat provokes the appearance of microcracks on the skin. The virus penetrates such damage, papillomas form in problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpits (filamentous papillomas), under the breasts (hanging growths), on the lower abdomen, and in the groin area.
  5. Direct contact with entities. Touching can spread the virus throughout the body, increasing the number of warts.
  6. A woman transmits the human papillomavirus to her baby during its passage through the birth canal. If there is a lump in the mother in the genital area, on the cervix or in the vagina, chances are that the baby has been infected. This can happen if the papilloma is on the mother's chest.
  7. Sexual contact. A common form of transmission of HPV 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 papilloma virus. A person cannot protect himself from all provoking factors. To activate the virus, internal changes in the body must be triggered.

Internal factors

Internal reasons include processes that lead to a decrease in immunity, activation of infection.

  1. Acute body processes and taking pills. During treatment, the body's ability to independently fight pathogens is suppressed.
  2. Emphasize. Any psychological shock or experience leads to a weakening of the protective function. As a result of strong experiences or emotional outbursts, signals of various diseases appear, for example, the appearance of warts.
  3. Hypothermia or overheating. Body strength is spent on setting indicators of normal body temperature. It becomes vulnerable to any external factors.
  4. Pregnancy in women. After fertilization, the woman's body needs to weaken the immune system to prevent rejection of the fetus. Against the background of such conditions, a favorable environment is often formed for various infectious diseases, the signs of which were not previously observed. Sometimes, after childbirth, the body recovers, suppresses pathogenic processes, the growth disappears on its own. It is not recommended to remove the growth at this stage, most methods of removal are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They may be during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, or as a result of illness.
  6. Poor nutrition. Vitamin deficiency causes damage to some or all of the vital systems. Immunity goes down. People suffer from the onset of the disease in the autumn-winter period, when there is an acute shortage of useful products.
  7. The presence of bad habits. Alcohol and smoking reduce the ability to fight pathogens. People with addiction, according to doctors, are more likely to suffer from papillomavirus.

Features of manifestation in men and women

Viral moles were not significantly different. If they start climbing on the head, neck, back, face, stomach or limbs, it makes no difference who has the papilloma - a woman or a man. There are certain differences in viral transmission and damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive cover, easy to hurt during intercourse. According to specialist observations, the anal area is more likely to be traumatized. The head of the penis is considered stable. Many homosexuals suffer from genital warts (acute warts on the feet).

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

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

In men, the growth affects the pubic area, glans penis and the upper layers of the epidermis. Growths can grow into the urethra, which provokes signs of the development of the inflammatory process, problems with the flow of urine.

Papilloma Prevention

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 regular sexual partner.

Girls who have reached puberty are recommended to be vaccinated against a dangerous type of HPV with a high level of oncogenicity. 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 growths appear on the body of unknown origin, you should consult a doctor at a medical facility. The doctor will prescribe a topical medication for the virus.

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