What does the body signal when papillomas grow on the body

Papillomas appear - this is a signal of the ongoing processes in the body that require urgent attention and referral to a specialist. Papillomas are benign growths that are known to every third person on the planet.

The mechanism of appearance of papillomas

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

  1. From mother to child at birth. This happens in cases of genital warts in pregnant women. As a result, papillomas appear in the baby's mouth, pharynx, larynx, nose and airways.
  2. Through household contacts. To get infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to have close contact with the things of a person who has an education on 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: the anal and genital area. If it is found, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to prevent side effects: due to careless handling is possible trauma, which leads to the possibility of degeneration into a neoplasm, the development of a cancerous tumor.

A small, invisible lesion on the skin or mucous membranes is enough to penetrate a person's blood.

For this reason, even safe sex cannot prevent the disease.

Causes of papillomas

Human papillomavirus is a highly contagious disease. It is almost impossible to prevent infection. In today's world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Far fewer people deal with skin growths.

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

External factors

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

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygiene products, personal belongings. 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. The lack of sanitary standards in institutions where reusable devices are used contributes to the transmission of viral infection. You can get infected in the beauty salon while doing the piercing. The procedure for eyelash extensions, popular in recent years, will cause the appearance of growths on the eyelid.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat provokes the appearance of microcracks in 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 breasts (hanging growths), in the lower abdomen and in the groin area.
  5. Direct contact with entities. Touch can spread the virus throughout the body, increasing the number of warts.
  6. A woman transmits the human papillomavirus to a baby as it passes through the birth canal. If the growths are present in the mother in the genital area, on the cervix or in the vagina, there is a high probability 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 greater the chance of contracting a viral infection.

It is not difficult to catch papillomavirus. One cannot protect oneself from all provoking factors. To activate the virus, internal changes in the body must be triggered.

Internal factors

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

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

Characteristics of manifestation in men and women

Viral moles do not differ significantly. If they start to climb on the head, neck, back, face, abdomen or limbs, it does not matter who owns the papillomas - a woman or a man. There are some differences in the transmission of the virus and the damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive shell, easily injured during intercourse. According to the observations of specialists, the anal canal is more likely to be traumatized. The head of the penis is considered stable. Many homosexuals suffer from genital warts (sharp warts on the legs).

In girls, growths can 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 the infection has 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. Plants are able to penetrate the urethra, which provokes signs of the development of inflammatory processes, problems with urine leakage.

Prevention of papillomas

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

  • observance of the norms for 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 advised to be vaccinated against dangerous varieties of HPV with a high degree of oncogenicity. The vaccine is thought to prevent the development of cervical cancer. Home treatment cannot guarantee recovery. Traditional methods of therapy (herbal treatment) will relieve external symptoms, but will leave the cause of the disease. If growths of unknown origin appear on the body, you should consult a doctor at a medical facility. The doctor will prescribe a local medicine for the virus.

To avoid health problems, you need to be careful with your body. If a person receives a signal from the body when viral papillomas appear on the body, this should not be ignored. You should seek professional help immediately. An experienced doctor based on a diagnostic examination will choose an up-to-date method of treatment.
