About 80% of the population is infected with human papillomavirus on the ground.Since only harmless papillomes cannot occur due to the infection of the HPV on the body, but also condition, as well as the growth that can be malignant, it is very important to know how HPV is transmitted.Perhaps this knowledge will help someone avoid infection and protect themselves from such hazardous diseases as cervical cancer, vulva, vagina, anal, penis and even milk glands.In the article, we will discuss HPV: how it is transferred, risk factors and preventive measures.
How is human papillomavirus transferred?
For starters, it is worth saying that papillomes are transmitted through the epidermis and saliva.At the same time, some time the infection cannot feel on its own and manifest with the formation of continental and papillomes only with the reduction in immunity.
If we are talking about how the papillom virus is transmitted, the probability of infection is probably increasing in the presence of damage, scratches and abrasion on the skin.
Attention!Many people are interested in whether the papillom is inherited.Reply, no.Just when one family members are infected, the papillom virus is transmitted in everyday life or from the mother on the baby during childbirth.
They are known the following ways to transmit a viral infection from people to person:
- It is transmitted in a domestic way, ie through the touch, joint household items, clothing.Transection transfer can occur through a kiss.
- If a person has genital papillomes, the transfer could appear sexually, ie during unprotected sex.
- Self-izrocen is possible with shaving, hair removal and other skin injuries.Because papilloma is contagious for the surrounding healthy skin cells, a person alone can transfer the body from patients with the body to healthy.
- The vertical way of infection is to transfer infection from the mother to a child during birth.
- Much often often the infection occurs during the transfusion of donor blood, during rapid removal of neoplasms caused by HPV.The infection is also not excluded in beauty salons, manicured rooms, bathrooms, saunas and pools, where aseptic rules are not ignored.
If we talk about how you can infect the papillom, then in 70% of cases of sexual infection, the culprit is a man.In the presence of epithelial neoplasm on lips or genitals, the probability of infection is almost 90%.It is also worth considering the presence of condoms, although reducing the risk of infection, still does not guarantee 100 percent protection, as HPV can penetrate the microtraw on the skin and other parts of the body.Moreover, condylomas can be localized in groin or on a flat part, where the condom will not protect against direct contact with a partner.
Important!If one of the partners is a virus bracket, but he has no papillom, nipples, or condyl, the risk of another partner infection is significantly reduced.
If you list all the methods, how to infect newborns and then infections in the intrauterine period incredible, because the virus does not penetrate the blood, and the fetus is reliably protected by amnic liquids, bubbles and placent.However, in medical practice, rare instant cases of intrauterine infection were recorded in the event of damage to the pausing and fetal bladder.
It is very important for women to plan for pregnancy to know whether the child's father is contrast and can convey the infection of the future mother, because the genital condyloms that appeared during pregnancy is very dangerous to the child.In the event of a baby infection during childbirth, there is a threat to the papillomatosis of larynx and subsequent suffocation.Since the infection is transmitted from saliva, it is important to take into account the presence of man in papillomes, horseback and nipples in the mouth and the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, because a woman's oral mercy infection may occur.
If one of the family members has a papillom, because it is transmitted in everyday life, it is important for all households to know:
- Through general bedding, towels, soap, cosmetics, washes and other personal belongings, the virus can penetrate the microtraw on the skin;
- The saliva infection is possible when using one toothbrush, glasses or other dishes;
- Also, infection through clothing and other household items is possible.
Risk factors
We realized how to get infected with human papillomavirus, but it is less important to know, not only ways to transmit infection, but also risk factors for papillomavirus infection.
So, human papillomavirus will be much easier to penetrate the skin and mucosa against the background of the following provocative factors:
- In men, children and women, the infection is most likely against the background of reduced immunity.This can be facilitated with usual cold or angina.
- The risk of an infection with HPV increases with the violation of microflora on the hoses or vagina.In the first case, the general immunity suffers in the second case, the local protective forces are reduced, and the probability of infection increases.
- Sexual trails Infections are often the cause of infection against the background of other sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis, gonorrhea, trichonosis).
- All transmission modes can be potentially dangerous to a person against the background deterioration of chronic disease, when the body weakened the disease.
- There is no doubt whether the papilloma is contagious.The virus can easily penetrate the bracket within a healthy person if its defenses weakened stress, breakdown strength, overvoltage or depression.
Important!All viruses are easier for men and women who have bad habits (smoking, alcohol).The risk of infection to women who take combined contraceptives also increases significantly.
Predicting virus sexual transmission factors are the following countries and diseases:
- Previously, the beginning of sexual activity;
- Prostitution;
- Frequent change of sexual partners;
- illegible sexual life;
- History of sexually transmitted diseases;
- Older than 35 years;
- cervical pathology;
- Immunodicity items.
Prevention
We realized how human papillomavirus (women, men and children) is transmitted, now remains to consider preventive measures.It is worth saying immediately that the most effective way, not being infected, is preventive vaccination.To date, two types of vaccines are known from this infection.They protect against the most dangerous strains of the cancer virus.However, the high efficiency of such protection was observed only during the vacation at an early age, before entering sexual life or until one of HPV strains is infected.
As for other prevention methods, hygiene rules, condom use, selective sexual life and dismissing bad habits are not canceled.It is useful to support the Fortress of the Immunological System: eat, harden, play sports, walk in the fresh air, occasionally drink vitamins.
