If you resort to statistics, papilloma is a fairly frequent virus that occurs in the body. It is present in the body of 2/3 of the population of the planet, but manifests itself in various forms by no means all, but only under conditions favorable for development.
In this article we will try to understand what is HPV (human papillomavirus), how it manifests itself and how to get rid of it.
What causes and how does HPV occur
Papilloma is a somewhat convex benign education on the leg, in some cases on the base with a diameter of about 2 cm. It has an uneven shape that looks like a head of cauliflower. May have different colors, from beige to dark brown.
HPV tends to manifest itself absolutely in any part of the body, and it may not necessarily be the visible part. Papillomas have several forms:
- serving
- hanging
- flat.
Often they consist of epithelial tissue, at least - from the horny mass.
The virus is transmitted in every second case through sexual intercourse, while it may not claim itself for quite a long time. It can begin to manifest itself when immunity is weakened, as well as catarrhal and inflammatory processes of the body, diseases of internal organs.
HPV infection is quite simple, because it can be transmitted in many ways, for example, through kissing, sexual contact, common things, or if personal hygiene rules in public places such as showers, baths, gymnasiums, and others are not followed.
Today there are about 100 species of pathogen. Medicine has identified about 32 types of HPV, which also have a large number of subspecies and variations. Therefore, this virus can manifest itself in different ways, depending on the type and location of the location.
Does papilloma need to be removed when specialist help is needed?
In most cases, the virus enters the human body through domestic or sexual intercourse. Quite often, it occurs in the invisible parts of the body, without creating any inconvenience to people, so education is simply ignored.
However, some growths can cause a person some inconvenience and even seriously threaten his health. Thus, the formations can cling to clothes or a person can accidentally damage them, which already leads to the threat of their transition to a malignant tumor.
In such cases, it is just necessary to see a doctor, who will further determine how to act in this particular case.
Most people do not know which doctor deals with such problems. Evaluation of the size and nature of papillomas, as well as their elimination is performed by the surgeon.
Also, do not forget that such tumors are dangerous both for the person himself and other people who surround him. Therefore, it is still necessary to get rid of them, since they can be transmitted by contact.
If you decide to eliminate papillomas on your own, you should pay attention to their color, shape and size. It is not recommended to get rid of them without consulting a dermatologist if they:
- have too dark, red or black colors;
- with corroded surface;
- very large;
- are in places with delicate skin: eyelids, face, axilla, and so on.

If this problem is ignored, there is a possibility of oncological formations in the pelvic organs.
Papillomas with a peaked shape have an increased risk of transition to the malignant stage - condylomas.
The virus is sexually transmitted, but barrier contraception in no way protects a person from it, since it is not able to fully protect against skin contact. Therefore, for people who have sex, it is recommended to temporarily abandon sexual contact, while medical effects on education are carried out.
Refrain from contact will take a long time, because the treatment can be long. It is also recommended to caution your partner and convince him to undergo a diagnosis.
In the treatment of papilomatosis, various antiviral tablets are used, as well as preparations that support immunity, candles and ointments are also used for treatment in intimate places.
