In this article we will look at the following questions:
- What is papillomas;
- What is the reason for their formation.
- where they are more common in men and women;
- Typical papillomas photos.
Papillomas - benign neoplasms located on the skin, mucous membranes.The reason for their formation is the human papillomavirus (HPV), transmitted in various ways.The appearance of formations depends on the type of virus that caused them.
Transmission trails
The human papilloma virus is transmitted:
- In sexual contact, including anal, oral-genital.
- Internal way.The microorganism is able to exist on personal things, personal hygiene objects, infected towels.It easily penetrates scratches, skin abrasions.
- In the process of birth from mother to child.
Maybe auto -infusion, if the virus is transferred from one part of the body to another, which usually occurs during shaving, hair removal.
The incubation period (the gap from HPV entry to the body to the onset of signs of pathology) is from several weeks to several years.
Papillomas on the body most often occur in diseases, pregnancy, abuse of alcohol, psycho -emotional stress, hypothermia, accompanied by a decrease in immune defenses.The frequency of these entities in men, women are the same.
Human Papillomavirus: Types
Depending on the risk of oncological pathology on the skin, mucosal membranes papillomaviruses are the following groups:
- Low oncogenic risk (HPV 3, 6, 11, 13, 32, 34, 72, 73, 40–44, 51, 61 species).
- The average oncogenic risk (HPV 52, 56, 58, 30, 35, 45 species).
- High risk of developing malignant processes (HPV 50, 59, 16, 18, 64, 68, 70, 31, 33, 39 species).
Low oncological risk microorganisms cause benign growth on the skin, mucous membranes.
Types of papillomas
Simply
They are also called vulgar, ordinary.Such outgrowths are caused more frequently than HPV 26-29, 77, 63, 41 species.
On any part of the body there is a feeling of tingling, burning.Later, there is an increase in spherical education, the surface of which gradually becomes rough.First, the tumor has the color of the flesh, then darkens.The size of the papilloma on the body is from 1 mm to cm.
These neoplasms are single, multiple.In the latter case, the subsidiaries small papillomas are located around the mother, formed by the first, usually larger than all.
Their location is the back of the hands, fingers, gaps between them, the chin area, the border of the lips.There are such papillomas around the neck.The child is affected by the knees as children often crawl, infected by small skin damage.
Subtitled
People with these entities are infected with HPV 1, 2, 4 species.The growth is similar to dry calluses, but they have a number of characteristic differences.
The skin model is preserved on calluses absent on the surface of the papillomas, the last smooth.Education caused by papillomavirus, painful, unpleasant sensations, are enhanced when wearing compressive shoes.Inside the papilloma are noticeable black spots that are absent with calluses.
Neoplasms are sometimes destroyed independently, which is more common in children.Small bubbles are sometimes seen around the neoplasm.The latter over time becomes new papillomas.
Flat papillomas
The growth of a round, elongated, oval shape increases above the skin level by 1-2 millimeters.Flat papillomas are located around the mouth, face, upper half of the body.Sometimes papillomas are formed on the neck.
There is evidence of papillomas for the pubic lips, the cervix in girls, the penis in men, in the rectum, near the anus.These entities are located in groups, merge with each other.Flat papillomas of flesh -colored, sometimes there are slightly sticker than the rest of the skin, formed under the influence of 10, 49, 28 varieties of papillomavirus.
Movie
If people notice that small papillomas appear around the neck, then most often the growth is threaded.The second name of the formations -AcrocrordusSThe latter are called 2, 7 types of HPV.
In the initial stage of the papillomas around the neck, they look like small yellowish seals, then the growth stretches, become rough, acquire elongated, rounded, similar to the thread.A distinctive feature of such a papillomat around the neck is a thin leg.
Most often, acrocrocordus is formed in men over 40 years of age.The layers also appear on the skin of the upper eyelids, armpits, mammary glands, in the intimate area.
Acute
These entities are calledwarts,They are called 6, 11, 44, 42, 54, 51, 55, 89 species of human papillomavirus in women and men.
The cond's are small single, multiple flesh growths -coloring, localized on the female, male genital organs, around the anus.There are papillomas in the vagina, in the small pubic lips, the cervix.In men, the warts are located on the foreskin, the head of the penis, inside the urethra.
Separate elements sometimes merge with each other, an imaginary form of a tumor that resembles a ridge of a rooster, cauliflower.Neoplasms are characterized by very rapid growth, a wide focus of damage can be formed in a few hours.
The pathology has a recurring course.It continues more difficult with concomitant infections of the transmitted urogenital pathways (eg chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis).
The connadilomes formed on the cervix, especially inside the cervical canal, are the most dangerous during pregnancy.Hormonal changes stimulate rapid growth with the subsequent tissue breakdown, the addition of secondary infections.
Papillomas in the mouth, larynx
Their appearance is related to the activity of papillomaviruses 6, 7, 11, 72, 73, 57, 32 types.The formations are rounded formations on a thin or wide base.The mucous membrane around them is pale pink, with no visible pathological changes.The surface of the growth is pale pink, whitish.
Neoplasms are single, multiple and painless when pressed.They are located at the bottom of the oral cavity, the posterior surface of the tongue, the hard, soft sky, the mucous membrane of the laryngeal mucosa, the size is from 2 mm to 2 cm.
The growth of the oral mucosa bleeds, if you bite, it darkens as a result of the pouring of blood into it.Health does not deteriorate in the presence of such a disease, the oral cavity opens freely.
When in an adult, single outgrowths are located in a soft sky, tonsils, there is a sense of foreign body in the voice gap, cough, voice becomes hoarse.If the neoplasms become multiple, these symptoms intensify.
In children, pathological outgrowths are more commonly bilateral, their appearance is accompanied by the following signs:
- Difficult inspiration, exhalation that occurs after exercise, then with complete rest.
- Cough after running, excessive outdoor games.
- Suffocation attacks atstenosisThe larynx (pathological narrowing that prevents air flow in the lower respiratory tract).
The appearance of externally different papillomas is associated with infection with different types of HPV.To eliminate neoplasms, consult a doctor.This should be done at the shortest possible time, if the papillomas are multiple, a rapid increase in size, you deliver discomfort, they are constantly injured.
