What the body signals when papillomas grow on the body

Papillomas occur - a signal about the processes taking place in the body, which need urgent attention and referral to a specialist. Papillomas are benign growths that are known to every third person on the planet. In many cases, such elements cause only cosmetic discomfort, but sometimes they can lead to the development of dangerous diseases.

Mechanism of papilloma formation

Papillomas, warts and warts are formations that occur in the human body due to infection with the papilloma virus. The infectious pathogen is transmitted from the 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 occur in the baby's oral cavity, pharynx, throat, nose, and airways.
  2. Through household contacts. To become infected with the papilloma virus, it is enough to communicate closely with the things of a person with an education on the body.
  3. During sex. The most common type of infection. Usually, the consequence of sex with a carrier is warts in intimate places: in the anus and genital areas. If detected, consult a gynecologist immediately to avoid adverse consequences: careless handling can lead to trauma, which can lead to the development of a tumor, a cancerous tumor.

A small, invisible lesion of the skin or mucous membrane is sufficient to penetrate human blood.

For this reason, even protected sex cannot prevent disease.

Causes of papillomas

The human papillomavirus is a highly contagious disease. Preventing infection is almost impossible. In the modern world, 8 out of 10 people have HPV. Many fewer people experience skin growth.

In order to activate HPV, the body's natural defenses need to be weakened. Before the appearance of papillomas on the body there is an effect of external and internal factors.

external factors

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

  1. Use of cosmetics, hygiene products, personal items. These include the use of underwear, toothbrushes, towels, shaving with a regular razor, the use of scissors for manicures, make-up.
  2. Visiting public bathing places: swimming pools, baths, saunas, beaches. Walking barefoot increases the risk of skin damage.
  3. Salons and medical procedures. The lack of sanitary standards in establishments using reusable devices contributes to the transmission of viral infection. When performing a piercing, you can get infected in the beautician’s office. In recent years, a popular eyelash extension procedure will cause growths to appear on the eyelid.
  4. Excessive sweating and wearing tight clothing. Sweat causes micro-cracks in the skin. The virus penetrates this damage, causing papillomas 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 subjects. 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 maternal growths are in the genital area, cervix, or vagina, it is very likely that the baby will be born already infected. This can happen if the papillomas are on the mother’s chest.
  7. Sexual contact. The usual form of HPV transmission from one partner to another. The more sexual partners a person has, the more likely they are to get infected with a viral infection.

Catching the papilloma virus is not difficult. One cannot protect oneself from all provocative factors. In order to activate the virus, internal changes in the body need to be activated.

Internal factors

Internal causes include processes that cause weakening of the immune system, activation of infection.

  1. Acute body processes and tablet taking. During treatment, the body's ability to resist pathogens on its own is inhibited.
  2. Stress. Any psychological shock or experience impairs protective functions. Strong experience or an emotional outbreak results in signals of various diseases, such as warts.
  3. Hypothermia or overheating. Body forces are released by setting normal body temperature indicators. It becomes sensitive to any external factors.
  4. Pregnancy in women. After conception, a woman’s body needs to weaken the immune system to prevent fetal rejection. Against the background of this condition, a favorable environment is often created for various infectious diseases, the symptoms of which have not been observed before. Sometimes after childbirth the body recovers, inhibits pathogenic processes, regrowth disappears on its own. Removal of growths is not recommended at this stage, most removal methods are invasive.
  5. Hormonal changes. They are possible during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, or due to illness.
  6. Poor diet. Vitamin deficiency causes disorders in some or all vital systems. Immunity decreases. People suffer from diseases in the autumn-winter period, when there is a great lack of useful products.
  7. Presence of bad habits. Alcohol and smoking reduce the ability to fight pathogens. People with addiction are more likely to get the papilloma virus, according to doctors.

Manifestation characteristics of men and women

Viral moles are not very different. If they start climbing on the head, neck, back, face, abdomen or limbs, it makes no difference who the owner of the papillomas is - a woman or a man. There are some differences between virus transmission and genital lesions. The genitals have a sensitive cap and are easily injured during intercourse. According to experts, anal trauma 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 occur on the pope's, labia, clitoris, or vaginal cavity.

Without treatment, warts can coalesce and develop papillomatosis. The danger for women is the defeat of the cervical wart. If the infection occurred with a certain type of virus with high oncogenicity, there is a chance of developing cancer.

In men, the growths affect the pubic area, the head of the penis and the upper layers of the epidermis. Plants can grow in the urethra, which causes signs of the development of inflammatory processes, problems with urine drainage.

Papilloma prevention

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

  • compliance with the norms of individual use of items;
  • skin protection in public places;
  • proper nutrition;
  • rejection of bad habits;
  • have a regular sexual partner.

It is recommended that girls who reach puberty be vaccinated against dangerous HPV varieties with high oncogenicity. The vaccine is expected to prevent the development of cervical cancer. Treatment at home cannot guarantee recovery. Traditional treatments (herbal treatments) will relieve external symptoms but leave the cause of the disease. If you have growths on the body of unknown origin, you should consult a doctor at a medical facility. Your doctor will prescribe a topical antiviral medicine.

You should be careful about your body to avoid health problems. If a person receives a signal from the body when viral papillomas develop on it, this should not be ignored. You must seek professional help immediately. An experienced physician will select the most recent treatment based on a diagnostic test.
