Genital papillomatosis increases the risk of infection for both partners and complicates close life, and at birth it is often transmitted from woman to child.
Reasons
The main reason for the formation of growth is HPV which enters the body in various ways. It enters the cells of the squamous cell carcinoma and stays in them for a long time without being reported. The patient may not be aware of such an infection until the conditions for its proliferation and the appearance of tumors are formed. With a decrease in immunity, growth often appears on the body.
Experts identify factors that increase the risk of growth:
- frequent stress;
- anxiety, physical overwork;
- avitaminosis;
- reduced immunity;
- patient's age;
- too many sexual partners;
- smoking, alcohol abuse;
- to take oral contraceptives for a long time.
The causes of papillomas can be hidden in endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal diseases and overweight. The gestation period lasts about a year and if the immune system works well, the infection can not manifest itself. HPV is often transmitted through contact with infected objects in everyday life, when using common washcloths, razors and towels. Infection can occur through sexual intercourse or from woman to child in childbirth.
View
Dermatologists distinguish between several types of papillomas:
- Simple. The tumor looks like a cauliflower or cockroach, a surface resembling small papillae.
- Plantar. These accumulations cause some discomfort.
- Flat. The location of such tumors is the epithelium of the cervix. Flat papillomas look like flat nodules with itching.
- Cordless. Such tumors are often found in patients older than 50 years, look like small nodules and do not cause noticeable symptoms.
- Bent. They resemble papillary images, which are localized both as separate elements and merge into whole groups. In each case, the genital warts are caused by certain types of the virus that are transmitted during sexual intercourse. The site of genital warts is the proximal area, groin, anus, perineum.
Angiopapilloma is an internal growth formed from connective tissue. It attaches to the blood vessel walls and can cause cancer.
Tumors in visible areas of the body and in close areas often cause psychological discomfort and problems during sex. Uterine papilloma can lead to cancer.
Species
There are several types of HPV, taking into account the potential for cancerous lesions of the skin and internal organs.
Flaky
The appearance of papilloma is due to the rapid growth of squamous cell carcinoma in the epidermis. In young people, this type of tumor can form in areas of the body that are too often injured.
Squamous cell carcinoma is a round tumor with a broad base and a tumor with a thin stem. At the beginning of their development, they are motionless, colored in a light or brown tone. Constant trauma to such images can cause them to become inflamed, cellular changes begin, and their transformation into cancer. If there is no effective treatment, there is a high risk of getting cancer.
Inverted
Inverted papillomas appear on the body. Its appearance area is the nasal cavity and the sinus cavity. Tumor growth in the anterior and maxillary sinuses is possible.
The manifestation of papillomavirus manifestation is unilateral ulceration. It is possible to germinate reverse growth in bones that ends with sores in the palate, skull bones, nasal cavities and wall walls.
Inverted papilloma causes nasal congestion, bleeding and runny nose. When a tumor grows in size, the skeleton of the face deforms and moves to the side of the affected organ.
Localization
Skin papillomas can form on various areas of the body. Discomfort is caused by growths on the face and when applied to the body, they are constantly injured when they come in contact with clothes.
Specialists identify several places where papillomas occur:
- Groin area, armpits and lower abdomen with obesity. In the fairer sex, various types of tumors may be localized under the breast.
- The area of the neck, face, abdomen, back. In the face, the papilloma area mainly becomes the area of the mouth, eyes, eyelids.
- The genitals. There are often genital warts in this area.
- Internal organs. Tumors appear on the tissues of the intestines, stomach and bladder.
- Feet. Spinal warts often appear in this part of the body.
The site of appearance of viral tumors may be oral mucosa, bladder, mammary glands, internal genitalia.
Characteristics of education
When HPV is activated, tumors of various types appear on the skin. Their signs are similar to each other, but there is a difference.
Warts
You can determine the formation of warts on the skin according to certain symptoms:
- the size of the tumor does not exceed 1 cm;
- the wart has a clear outer border, uneven surface and density is felt on palpation;
- the color of the structure can range from light gray to black;
- the tumor has an irregularly rounded shape.
The location of growth is mainly open areas of the body, and especially those that are constantly injured by something. Warts often appear on the hands, fingers, knees and head in the hair growth area.
Papillomas
You can independently detect growth if you know what the body of the papilloma looks like. These are skin growths with a rather thin stem or a flat base. Infection with the virus mainly occurs in public places with high humidity. It is in such an environment that he feels good and begins to multiply rapidly.
Patients need to know what papillomas look like on the body. The first sign of a tumor is a slight burning sensation, a slight tingling sensation in the epidermis. After a while, tumors appear in this area. Gradually they stretch and lengthen, their size increases to 1-1, 5 cm.
Papillomas often form on the skin in elderly patients and begin to actively enlarge. The area where the growths are located is the chest, groin area and the area under the armpits. They are flesh-colored or slightly yellowish. The presence of the virus in the female body significantly increases the risk of developing cervical cancer.
Warts
Genital warts are formed under the influence of certain types of HPV, which enter the bloodstream only during intercourse. The area of the anus and external genitalia, rarely the oral cavity, is usually the focus of growth location.
Warts are papillary growths that form on various parts of the body. Individual factors are often related to each other and form tumors that resemble cockroaches in appearance.
Pregnancy period
The papilloma virus has a long gestation period that can last for many years. This means that it is rather difficult to determine the moment when the infectious agent has entered the body. The activity of the virus can increase under the influence of various factors that interfere with the functioning of the immune system.
Once in the body, the virus enters the cell nucleus of the dermis and begins to multiply rapidly there. With a decrease in the body's defenses, small papillae begin to appear on the surface of the skin, which contain several cells. They grow slowly and can grow up to 10 cm.
Analysis
Diagnosis of papilloma begins with an examination of a patient by an immunologist or dermatologist. The patient's history and symptoms are examined. Laboratories and equipment research help to identify the cause of the appearance of tumors on the body.
A standard diagnostic program includes:
- general and biochemical blood tests;
- PCR test;
- biopsy of the substance.
Based on research results, effective and safe methods of treatment are selected.
Treatment
It is recommended to start treatment of papillomas immediately after their discovery. The choice of method depends on the location of the tumors, the reasons for their appearance, the form of HPV. How to cure papilloma quickly can only be determined by a specialist.
Cryocoagulation
With this treatment method, tumors are removed with liquid nitrogen, which causes the water in the cells to freeze and die. Cryogenesis is only performed if the tumor is benign and there are no cancer cells in it.
The operation is considered painless, but if the skin is too sensitive, they resort to the introduction of novocaine. After the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen, they become white and small bubbles form where transparent or pink liquid accumulates. When interest rates are removed by freezing, unpleasant feelings in the form of burning sensations can occur, but they gradually disappear. After antifreeze, it is recommended to treat the epidermis with a solution of potassium permanganate or boron alcohol several times a day.
After a few days, the blister bursts and a crust forms that protects the wound from infection. Over time, it disappears and healthy skin is left under it.
Surgery
The procedure to remove papilloma on the skin is considered the most radical method of removal, but it is not used as often. The tip for surgery is a large papilloma.
During the operation, the doctor removes a small area of healthy tissue, which prevents the regrowth from growing. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and takes no more than 10-15 minutes. The patient does not feel any pain and after the treatment is over, a stitch is applied. The disadvantage of this method is considered to be prolonged wound healing, scarring, scarring of the body.
Laser removal
How the papilloma will be treated is decided by the doctor after examining the patient. The most modern method of removing growth is considered to be laser treatment, but previously a diagnosis was made to rule out cancer cells. The area of the body where the papilloma is located is anesthetized with lidocaine. Then they apply it with laser beams and remove it completely. When treated in this way, water evaporates in damaged cells, they dry out and form a crust.
After a while, the skin becomes red, swollen, but this reaction occurs after 2-3 days. The crust disappears on its own after 5-7 days and is replaced by delicate pink skin.
Chemical attack
An effective way to combat pathology is considered to be the chemical effect on papillomas. Genital warts are removed with special substances that contain organic acids.
With the help of inscriptions, they are applied to the surface of the formation and they are cauterized. Under the influence of substances, the growth cells are destroyed and they disappear.
Treatment with drugs
Medical treatment for papilloma includes:
- Pilla. Infection with a virus occurs due to a decrease in immunity, therefore the action of drugs aims to increase the body's defenses. The patient is prescribed to take vitamins, immunosuppressants, antiviral drugs.
- Preparation for topical treatment. Good use is the use of creams and ointments with antiviral effect. For small tumors on the penis, gels and creams are chosen that stimulate the formation of interferon. To remove growth, your doctor will prescribe solutions with cauterizing properties.
Only a doctor can decide whether to remove papillomas in various parts of the body.
Immunosuppressants
How to treat many papillomas on the body depends on their size and location. An integrated approach involves treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, which activate the body's natural defenses.
There are several types of HPV, so such drugs should be chosen by a specialist after immunoassays. With papillomas in women, it is recommended to pay special attention to natural immunosuppressive drugs that help to restore immunity at the DNA level.
Self-destruction
Treating large papillomas at home can aggravate an individual's condition and cause the virus to spread throughout the body. The possibility of using funds to remove the growth themselves is determined by a dermatologist. This treatment is only possible if there is no carcinogenic factor and malignancy is suspected.
Self-treatment of benign tumors involves the use of topical ointments, prescription drugs.
Traditional methods of treatment
In addition to the treatment plan chosen by your doctor, other treatment methods may be used. It can stop the great growth of papillomas and provoke its destruction when anointed with celandine, dandelion or sour apple juice.
You can lubricate the tumor with protein from a fresh egg every day and wait for it to dry. After a while, the dry papilloma will fall off on its own. In the pharmacy you can buy a special tape that is glued for a long time and then the tumor is cleaned off.
To eliminate the defect, it is recommended to cut the garlic clove and rub the growth on the skin with it for several days in a row.
Treatment with family and folk medicine is a long process. To increase its effectiveness, it is recommended to combine it with taking antiviral drugs.
Preventive treatment
Prevention of human papillomavirus is possible by maintaining the body's hygiene, timely treatment of epidermal lesions and their cure. To prevent infection, you must use personal hygiene products.
Prevention of papillomas includes rejection of free intercourse, adherence to a healthy lifestyle and increased immunity. The virus is able to become a provocative factor in the formation of papillomas in the cervix and the development of cancer. Women should go to a mammologist regularly with a gynecologist, be sure to follow proper nutrition. What to do if papilloma is diagnosed, it is recommended to ask your doctor and do not take self-medication.
