In this article, we will introduce the following:
- What is papilloma;
- What are the reasons for their formation
- is more common in men and women;
- Typical papilloma
Papilloma is a benign tumor located on the skin and mucous membranes. The cause of their formation is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which spreads in many ways. The appearance of formations depends on the type of virus that caused them.
Transmission path
Human papillomavirus is spread through the following methods:
- In the process of sexual intercourse, including the anus, oral and genitals.
- Family. The microorganisms can exist on personal items, personal hygiene products, and infected towels. It easily penetrates scratches and scratches the skin.
- From mother to child during delivery
If the virus transfers from one area of the body to another, it is usually automatically infected. This usually occurs during shaving or hair removal.
The incubation period (the period from when the human papilloma virus enters the body to the appearance of pathological signs) ranges from several weeks to several years.
Papilloma most often appears in cases of disease, pregnancy, alcoholism, mental stress, hypothermia, and accompanied by a decline in immune defenses. The incidence of these forms is the same in men and women.
Human Papillomavirus: Type
According to the pathological risk of tumors on the skin, myxopapillomaviruses belong to the following categories:
- Low carcinogenic risk (HPV 3, 6, 11, 13, 32, 34, 72, 73, 40–44, 51, 61).
- Moderate carcinogenic risk (HPV types 52, 56, 58, 30, 35, 45).
- High risk of malignant process (HPV 50, 59, 16, 18, 64, 68, 70, 31, 33, 39).
Microbes with low cancer risk can cause benign growth of skin and mucous membranes.
Types of papilloma
Simple
They are also called vulgar, ordinary. This increase is usually caused by HPV types 26-29, 77, 63, and 41.
Tingling, burning sensation appears on any part of the body. Later, people noticed the growth of the spherical structure, and its surface gradually became rough. First, the tumor is flesh-colored, then it turns black. The size of human papilloma is 1 mm to cm
These tumors are single and multiple. In the latter case, the daughter’s small papilloma is located around the parturient and forms first, usually the largest.
Their positions are the hands, fingers, the space between them, the chin area, and the edge of the lips. There is such a papilloma on the neck. Children’s knees are affected because children often crawl and get infected through small cuts on the skin.
sole
People with these formations are infected with HPV types 1, 2, and 4. The growth is similar to that of dry calluses, but there are many characteristic differences.
The skin pattern remains on the calluses, the surface of the papilloma is absent, the latter is very smooth. The formation of papillomavirus is painful, and wearing squeezing shoes can exacerbate the unpleasant feeling. There are obvious black spots inside the papilloma, and no black spots in the calluses.
Tumors sometimes self-destruct, which is more common in children. Sometimes small bubbles can be seen around the tumor. Over time, the latter will become a new papilloma.
flat papilloma
Round, slender oval growths 1-2 mm higher than skin level. Flat papillomas are located in the mouth, face and upper part of the body. Sometimes papilloma forms on the neck.
There are data on papillomas of the labia, cervix of girls, penis of men, and rectum near the anus. These formations are placed in groups and merge with each other. Under the influence of 10, 49, and 28 papillomavirus variants, flat flesh-colored papillomas were formed, sometimes slightly darker than the rest of the skin.
Thread
If people notice a small papilloma on the neck, it usually grows linearly. The second name of the formation isacrochordus. The latter is caused by 2 and 7 types of HPV.
In the initial stage, the papilloma on the neck looks like a light yellow baby seal, then grows and stretches, becomes rough, and acquires a slender, round, thread-like shape. A distinctive feature of neck-like papilloma is thin legs.
In most cases, acrobatic animals are formed by men and women over 40 years old. There are also growths in the skin of the upper eyelids, armpits, and breasts in private areas.
points to
The formation data is calledwarts, andis caused by 6, 11, 44, 42, 54, 51, 55, 89 types of male and female papillomaviruses.
Dy tumors are small, flesh-colored, single, multiple branches, located on the female and male genitals around the anus. There are papillomas in the vagina, labia minora, and cervix. In men, the con process is located on the foreskin of the head of the penis in the urethra.
Sometimes the individual elements merge with each other, appearing like a tumor, outwardly resembling a rooster's comb cauliflower. Tumors are characterized by very fast growth, and extensive lesions can be formed within a few hours.
Pathology has recurring episodes. Accompanying sexually transmitted infections of the genitourinary tract (such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasma) are more serious.
The cervix, especially the Con protrusion formed inside the cervical canal, is the most dangerous during pregnancy. Hormonal changes will stimulate its rapid growth, then the tissue will rupture and secondary infection will occur.
Oral papilloma, throat
Their appearance is related to the activity of papillomavirus types 6, 7, 11, 72, 73, 57, and 32. The formation is a circular formation on a thin or wide foundation. The mucous membranes around them are pale pink, without any visible pathological changes. The surface of the growth is light pink and whitish
When the tumor is compressed, it can be single or multiple, without pain. They are located at the bottom of the mouth, behind the tongue, hard and soft pa, on the throat mucosa, and range in size from 2 mm to 2 cm.
If you are bitten, the overgrowth of the oral mucosa will bleed and turn black as the blood flows into it. The health condition with this disease will not deteriorate, and the mouth can be opened freely.
When the adult individual has soft pa on the glottis and growth on the tonsils, it will feel the presence of foreign bodies, cough, and become hoarse. If the lesions become more frequent, these symptoms will worsen.
In children, pathological growth is usually bilateral, and its occurrence is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- It is difficult to inhale, inhale, and exhale completely after physical activity.
- Coughing after running, playing too much
- Suffocating episodes of throatstricture(pathological narrowing that prevents air from entering the lower respiratory tract).
The appearance of different external papillomas is related to various HPV infections. To remove the tumor, you must consult a doctor. If papillomas are frequent and increase rapidly in size, causing discomfort and frequent injuries, this operation should be performed as soon as possible.
