Human papillomavirus (HPV) is manifested in the form of characteristic changes in tissue growth. It is one of the main causes of skin diseases and lesions of the mucous membranes. There are more than 100 types of this virus.
Papilloma
Papilloma is a benign tumor that begins to grow on the surface of the skin in the form of a small nipple. The size of the papillomas varies from 1 to 2 cm. Frequent places of detection of papillomas: nose, mouth, pharynx,
vocal cords. In rare cases, papilloma can be found on the walls of the bladder and elsewhere.
Every year, an impressive number of patients with genital warts (papilloma virus) apply for medical help. But in frequent cases, this virus goes unnoticed and proceeds without any symptoms .
It should be noted that the symptoms depend on the type of virus.
Condylomas
The papilloma virus is often manifested by the appearance of genital warts. But this symptom is manifested only in 2% of sick people. The appearance of condyloma, by the way, is a sign of weakened immunity. The human papillomavirus in men and women is localized mainly in places that touch during sexual intercourse (on the genitals, as well as near the anus). The incubation period of the virus can take from a couple of weeks to several years.
Condylomas appear in the form of warty growths of flesh or pink color. Over time, condyloma can grow and turn into a drain condyloma (multilayer formation).
The human papillomavirus in men is characterized by the appearance of genital warts mainly near the frenulum, glans penis, and also around the anus. In women, condylomas extend to the clitoris, labia, urinary opening, cervix, and vagina.
Depending on the state of the immune system, condylomas may not change for a long time or go away on their own. A symptom such as condylomas is considered very unpleasant and dangerous. These formations interfere with sexual activity, causing discomfort, and can also bleed.
Signs
The human papilloma virus in men and women can manifest itself in the appearance of unpleasant sensations, as well as itching in the genital area. Another sign of the appearance of the papilloma virus is the presence of unusual secretions.
Causes
The human papillomavirus in men and women mainly appears during infection during sexual intercourse. Infection can occur both through the rectum and vagina, and during oral sex.
Treatment
In no case do not try to remove the warts yourself! An attempt to get rid of papilloma threatens to get infection on other parts of the skin, which will lead to rather disastrous consequences.
If papillomas or warts of unknown origin are found, you should immediately consult a dermatologist. Must be learned: removal of papillomas is the prerogative of specialists!
In addition to removing the warts themselves, treatment of the papilloma virus is necessary, as well as strengthening immunity.
