Now, the human papillomavirus is found in almost everyone. Today, about a hundred of its types are known. The virus manifests itself in the form of neoplasms in various parts of the body.
Scientists have established the role of some of its types in the occurrence of malignant processes. However, it is not necessary at all that a patient who has found the human papillomavirus will develop cancer. However, he will be at risk and should be regularly examined by an oncologist.
In addition, localization and the appearance of its external manifestations depend on the type of virus. About 30 of them contribute to the appearance of papillomas in the anogenital region. The formation of genital warts is most often caused by the human papilloma virus of types 11 and 6. They may also be in the urethra and bladder.
These types of virus together with 73, 44, 43, 42 belong to low oncogenic species. According to statistics, a third of women with a routine examination show genital warts.
Diagnosis of the virus is carried out using visual inspection and DNA diagnostics. It allows not only to detect its presence in the body, but also to determine the types. The most insidious are 68, 66, 59, 58, 56, 52, 51, 45, 39, 35, 33, 31, they are highly oncogenous species.
The role of 18 and 16 types in the appearance of malignant processes on the cervix is proved. Their owners need to regularly do colposcopy and analysis for cytology, and if necessary, targeted biopsy. This will help to identify pathological changes at an early stage when a complete cure is still possible.
Infection with the virus occurs more often through sexual contact, but other options are possible. When ingested, it may not manifest itself for a very long time. Usually papillomas appear at lower general and local immunity and hormonal disruption. They occur with stress, strong emotional experiences, chronic and severe illnesses.
Often, papillomas during pregnancy appear in women for the first and last time in their lives. Decreased immunity and hormonal changes lead to increased long-dormant virus. It does not affect the bearing of the baby.
But the human papillomavirus and pregnancy can still have some unpleasant consequences. Infection of the child possible during labor and the emergence of his laryngeal papillomatosis. However, the presence of the virus in active form in the genitals of the mother is not an indication for caesarean section. Moreover, infection can occur even before childbirth.
It is done only with large warts, which will interfere with childbirth. Basically, they will attempt to remove during pregnancy surgically immediately after the occurrence of and to prevent their rapid growth. To conduct the antiviral therapy in this period can not be, because the drugs used are harmful to the fetus.
Therefore, the appearance of cervical cancer, which can provoke the human papillomavirus, is especially dangerous. Since adequate treatment cannot be carried out, the question may be raised about termination of pregnancy with poor smears for cytology, which are regularly given up during gestation. In each case, the decision is made by the doctor, guided by the results of colposcopy, biopsy and the period for which the woman is.
Thus, this virus is a common and mostly harmless disease. However, some of its types contribute to the occurrence of a malignant process, especially on the cervix and in the anogenital region. If they are found in a person, then he should be examined regularly. During pregnancy, the virus is often activated due to lower immunity and increase the level of sex hormones.
