What does the body signal about when papillomas grow on the body

Papillomas appear - this is a signal about processes taking place 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 the appearance of papillomas

Papillomas, condylomas and warts are formations that appear on 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 happens 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 become infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to have close contact with the things of a person who has education on the body.
3. During 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 areas. If detected, you should immediately contact a gynecologist to prevent undesirable consequences: due to careless handling, trauma is possible, entailing the likelihood of degeneration into a neoplasm, the development of a cancerous tumor.

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

For this reason, even protected sex cannot prevent disease.

Causes of papillomas

The human papillomavirus is one of the diseases with a special degree of infectiousness. It is almost impossible to prevent infection. In the modern world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Much less people deal with skin growths.

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 papilloma on the body can be varied. Everything that a person is exposed to can be attributed to external provocateurs:

1. Use of cosmetic, hygienic devices, personal items. This includes the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with a common razor, the use of scissors for manicure, decorative cosmetics.
2. Visiting public bathing places: 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 beautician's office while performing the piercing. The eyelash extension procedure, 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 such damage, papillomas form in problem areas. People notice an increase in warts in the armpit (filamentous papillomas), under the breasts (hanging growths), in 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 a baby during its passage through the birth canal. If growths are present in the mother in the genital area, on the cervix or in the vagina, it is highly likely that the baby will be born already infected. This can happen if the papillomas are on the mother's chest.
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 papillomavirus. 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 cause immune decline, 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 arise, for example, the appearance of warts.
3. Hypothermia or overheating. The body's forces are spent on establishing normal body temperature indicators. It becomes susceptible to any external factors.
4. Pregnancy in women. After conception, the female body needs to weaken the immune system to prevent rejection of the fetus. Against the background of such a state, 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 growths disappear on their own. It is not recommended to remove the growths at this stage, most of the 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 malfunction of some or all of the vital systems. Immunity drops. People suffer from the onset 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 off pathogens. People with addiction, according to doctors, are more likely to suffer from papillomavirus.

Features of manifestation in men and women

Viral moles are not significantly different. If they begin to climb out on the head, neck, back, face, abdomen or limbs, it makes no difference who is the owner of the papillomas - a woman or a man. There are certain differences in the transmission of the virus and damage to the genital area. The genitals have a sensitive cover, are easily injured during intercourse. According to the observations of specialists, 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 can appear on the pope, 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 the 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, growths affect the pubic area, the glans penis and the upper layers of the epidermis. The growths are able to grow into the urethra, which provokes signs of the development of inflammatory processes, problems with urine outflow.

Prevention of papillomas

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

• compliance with the norms of the individual use of things;
• skin protection in public places;
• proper nutrition;
• rejection of bad habits;
• having 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 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 in a medical facility. The doctor will prescribe a topical remedy for the virus.

To avoid health problems, you should 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 must immediately seek help from a specialist. An experienced doctor, based on a diagnostic examination, will select an up-to-date treatment method.
