Papillomas on the body in women. Reasons and treatment, how to get rid of folk remedies

The causes of papillomas on the body surface in women in most cases are associated with infection of the body with papillomatosis virus. Congenital formations are also found that are transmitted along with genetic information from one of the parents.

What are papillomas

Papillomas are benign neoplasms on the body in women, the causes of which are the pathogenic activity of viral microorganisms from the family of papillomaviruses. Translated from the Latin language means “rappillo – nipple” and “oma – a typical ending for tumors of all types.”

Papillomas are formed from the epithelial cells of their carrier. Outwardly, it looks like a connecting papilla with a flat, sharp, round or branched shape.

A distinctive feature of benign neoplasms of this type is that they are able to develop on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, internal organs with a hollow structure, inside the nasal openings, nasal sinuses, and vocal cords.

Initially, the root of the papilloma is formed from squamous epithelium with a gradual growth on the general skin integument.

The color of the tumor can vary from flesh to brown and pink . Localization of papillomas inside the bladder, intestines, organs of the respiratory system, can cause the development of concomitant diseases and complications.

Types of papillomas on the body in women

Different types of papillomas are distinguished depending on the location of the warts, their appearance and the reasons that caused their formation. The table below lists the varieties of benign tumors of this type with an indication of their features.

Type of papilloma	Neoplasm characteristic
Genital warts	They can be located in any part of the female body. Outwardly, they look like an oblong hanging mole, which in most cases has a brown tint.
Papilloma vulgaris	The classic manifestation of human papillomatosis virus. Neoplasms are round in shape, attached to the main surface of the body on a thin and short leg. They are flesh-colored, like the rest of the dermis.
Genital warts	The localization of tumors of this species is an intimate area in men and women. Infection occurs as a result of unprotected intercourse with an infected partner. The main location of the tumors is the circumference of the anus, the labia minora and labia in women, and the foreskin in men. In case of non-compliance with sanitary standards, infection by household means is possible.
Senile warts	Found in women of advanced age. There are, as a consequence of hormonal changes in the body, metabolic disturbances, prolonged exposure to open sunlight. The main danger of papillomas of this type is a high risk of their degeneration into malignant neoplasms.
Plantar	Papillomas of this species are localized exclusively in the area of the plantar of the foot. Outwardly resemble a small head of cauliflower with branched inflorescences. If a woman walks a lot, wears tight shoes, then plantar warts can become inflamed, bleed and cause pain.

Almost all of the above types of papillomas are formed as a result of infection of a woman with one or another genotype of human papillomavirus. An exception is only senile warts, which may appear due to age-related changes in the body of the elderly.

Stages and degrees of papillomas on the body in women

Like any other benign tumor, papilloma develops on a woman’s body in several stages.

In this regard, the following stages of the formation of a wart are distinguished:

• Stage 1 – uncontrolled division of squamous epithelium and the formation of the root of the papilloma, which is asymptomatic and imperceptible;
• Stage 2 – the formation of the head of the wart, which 1/32 – 2/32 inch rises above the general surface of the body, if located on the bends of the joints, in the of the belt, on the neck or under the armpits, can cause a feeling of discomfort, chafing, skin irritation;
• Stage 3 – a full-fledged flat, rounded or oblong neoplasm appears, which has a root, a leg, a main body in the form of a head and blood supply due to the smallest vessels of capillaries connected to the rest of the epithelial tissues;
• Stage 4 – multiple growth of similar papillomas that are formed as a result of cell division of an existing tumor (extensive papillomatosis is dangerous for a high probability of malignant degeneration of one wart).

The stage of skin disease is determined by a dermatologist during the examination of the patient. The treatment method is selected based on the results of the diagnosis, the type of papilloma and the degree of its development.

Symptoms of Papillomas

Papillomas on the body (the causes in women that caused the appearance of neoplasms are associated with infection with viral microorganisms) are single or multiple benign tumors that can be easily identified by external signs.

Symptoms of papillomatosis in women are manifested as follows:

• the appearance of a small tubercle that rises above the common surface of the epithelium;
• an increase in the wart root, which is becoming larger every week;
• an extraneous neoplasm appears on the body, characterized by a round, branched or conical shape;

• the main places of localization of papillomas on the female body are axillary depressions, the inner surface of the hips, neck, skin surface under the mammary glands, the groin area, perineum, genitals, back, plantar part of the leg;
• in the case of prolonged exposure to the surface of the wart, chafing and pain may occur;
• papilloma can have flesh, yellowish, pink, brown shades, which is the norm;
• attempts to independently remove the neoplasm do n
  ot lead to a positive result, and the cut wart grows again.

The presence of symptoms such as a sudden change in the color of the wart to darker colors, the onset of an acute inflammatory process, the secretion of pus or red blood fluid, bouts of pain, are alarming signs that are not characteristic of papillomatosis. In this case, the transformation of a benign formation into a cancerous tumor is not excluded.

Reasons for the appearance

Papillomas on the body (the causes in women that provoked the disease can be associated with the patient’s lifestyle) is a chronic dermatological pathology that appears under the influence of the following factors.

Factors for the appearance of papillomas on the body:

• promiscuous sexual activity, the presence of intimate contacts with an infected partner without the use of barrier contraceptives;
• the use of common towels, cosmetics, soaps and other hygiene products with a person who is sick with papillomavirus;
• joint wearing indoor slippers and other types of shoes;
• visiting public showers, baths, swimming pools, steam rooms with touching exposed skin to surfaces where viable papillomavirus virions are present;
• hormonal imbalance in the body caused by concomitant diseases of the endocrine system;
• getting a viral infection into an open wound during shaving;
• infection of the child from a sick mother during the passage of the fetus through the birth canal.

In most cases, it is not possible to establish the true cause of the appearance of warts on the body. The incubation period of papillomavirus after infection is from several days to 3 or more years.

Diagnostics

To make an accurate diagnosis in the form of papillomatosis, a woman needs to undergo a comprehensive examination of the body and the skin area itself, where a benign neoplasm is localized.

Diagnosis of papillomas takes place in several stages, namely:

• visual examination by a dermatologist;
• venous blood donation for its biochemical research and determination of papillomavirus virions;
• examination of the deeper epithelial layers of the wart with a dermatoscope;
• capillary blood collection for clinical analysis;
• selection of papilloma particles for further histological examination to exclude the oncological nature of the origin of the tumor;
• delivery of morning urine to determine its biochemical composition and general indicators of women’s health.

Localization of papillomas in the intimate zone, on the genitals and the circumference of the anus may require additional examination by a gynecologist, as well as testing for the presence of sexually transmitted infections.

When to see a doctor

The main danger of warts of this type lies in the aesthetic defect, as well as the risk of their degeneration into oncology.

It is recommended to consult a dermatologist immediately as soon as the appearance of an extraneous neoplasm is detected.

Early diagnosis and determination of the type of papilloma allows you to organize effective treatment and remove the neoplasm with a minimal risk of complications.

Prevention of papillomas on the body

Papillomas on the body (the causes in women that cause warts can be eliminated with effective preventive measures) are benign tumors, the appearance of which can be easily prevented by following the following rules.

For instance:

• lead an orderly intimate life, have only one sexual partner;
• wear only your shoes and do not give shoes to others;
• use barrier contraceptives;
• to avoid visiting public baths, toilets, swimming pools, showers, or to put feet in rubber slippers, not to touch open surfaces of the body to the surfaces of walls, door handles, tiles, deck chairs;
• use only your cosmetics, towels, soap;
• at least 1 time per year to undergo a preventive medical examination by a dermatologist;
• balance nutrition, sleep at least 8 hours a day, enough rest to ensure the normal functioning of the immune system.

All of the above recommendations do not guarantee 100% protection against infection with papillomatosis, but can minimize the risk of disease, avoid contact with sources of potential infection.

Methods of treating papillomas on the body in women

Papillomatosis is an incurable disease. A woman who has become infected with the wart-causing virus is the carrier of the virus for the rest of her life. Modern methods of treating the disease can only get rid of the consequences of pathology in the form of benign neoplasms.

Medications

Traditional medications do not completely get rid of papillomas, since warts of this type require removal by chemical, thermal, electrocoagulation, laser or surgical exposure.

Folk methods

Alternative medicine offers its own alternative ways to get rid of papillomas regardless of their type and location on the female body. The following are common methods for removing warts.

Knitting thread

It is necessary to wait until the phase of the moon is in a declining stage. You will need to take a piece of black thread, use it to tie papillomas, tying a knot. This thread is taken out to the garden and buried in the soil with the words: “When this thread rotes, all my warts will go away.” After 2-3 weeks, the papilloma will begin to become soft and collapse without signs of pain or inflammation.

Special tools

There are special remedies for warts and papillomas, but they do not give the effectiveness of their action and guarantees of relapse. One such product includes, for example, Formu Clear patch and other similar plasters.

 

The composition of such funds usually includes natural components that counteract the virus to some extent.

Dog saliva

To get rid of a benign neoplasm using this method, it is necessary to spread the wart with an even layer of sour cream. After this, the woman should go to the dog so that he licks the lactic acid product with his tongue.

After this, the papilloma is sealed with a medical adhesive plaster. Saliva from the surface of the neoplasm can not be wiped. After 1 week, the patch can be removed. From this moment, the wart will begin to crumble.

Celandine cauterization

During the growing season of this plant (from late May to mid-June), you should daily tear off celandine branches and cauterize the warts with yellow poisonous juice. The duration of therapy is from 10 to 30 days. Precautions should be taken to prevent juice from entering the mucous membrane of the mouth and eyes.

The effectiveness of the use of the above-mentioned folk remedies for removing papillomas on the body has not been proved by official science. Women who used these recipes were able to achieve the desired result and respond positively to these methods of therapy.

Other methods

The most effective way to treat papillomas is to completely remove them.

The following methods are used for this:

• chemical burning – involves exposure to the surface of the wart with aggressive solutions based on acids, potassium or sodium alkali;

• electrocoagulation – the papilloma is cut off and cauterized with a loop-shaped tool, the metal end of which is under electric current (the treatment procedure is performed under local anesthesia);
• cryodestruction – a benign neoplasm is burned out with a solution of liquid nitrogen (under the influence of low temperatures, the epithelial tissues freeze and then disintegrate);
• laser – coagulation – papilloma is excised with the help of positively charged laser particles, the wart’s main body is removed and its root system is cauterized;
• surgical removal is the traditional and most common method of treating a dermatological disease, which consists in excising a wart with a scalpel and then applying suture material.

All of the above methods for the treatment of papillomatosis can remove benign neoplasms with a minimal risk of relapse.

The average rehabilitation period is from 3 to 7 days. The safest method is laser excision and electrocoagulation. The most painful and traumatic treatment is the traditional surgical removal of the wart.

Possible complications

In the absence of adequate response measures and treatment of papillomatosis on the body, over time, a woman may experience the following complications.

Possible complications:

• the appearance of similar warts in other parts of the body, which indicates an increase in viral activity;
• the degeneration of the wart into a malignant cancer that can lead to death;
• the occurrence of similar neoplasms in the cavity of the bladder, intestines, larynx, trachea, which will lead to disruption of their work, problems with urination, the act of breathing, digestive function;
• cervical cancer (scientific studies have shown that 80% of women suffering from this disease are infected with human papillomavirus;
• an increase in the size of the wart, the creation of a cosmetic and aesthetic defect;
• trauma to the neoplasm and bacterial infection in the epithelial tissues.

To prevent the appearance of papillomas on the body in women, it is necessary to remember the causes of their occurrence. This will preserve the health of the skin, prevent the decline in the immune status of the pathogenic activity of papillomavirus. The disease itself is not life threatening, but its presence can provoke the development of serious complications.
