The virus of human papillomes or HPVs are widespread worldwide, regardless of the region.According to statistics, each third person is infected with one of the strains of this virus.Everyone who cares about their health you should know how human papillomavirus is transmitted and how dangerous it is.
About the virus
The disease causes the formation of benign growth on the skin and mucosa membranes - these are papillomes, also known as nipples and condylomas.There are more than a hundred strains of the virus, some of which are a potential threat to health, because they cause develop malignant neoplasms.
HPV occupies second place in terms of frequency viral infections transferred through sexual contacts.Once in the human body virus cannot be debited for a long time.Its activation occurs against the background decline in immunity.Once the infectious diseases are recently transmitted by patients noticing the appearance of skin growth.
There is no effective method of fighting viruses.A healthy body can stand independently HPV.On average, the control of virus activity lasts from a few months for a few years, depending on immunity.
Lots of doubt whether human papillomavirus is transmitted, taking into account the disease of innate functions, but it is very easy to infect HPV.
The virus is transmitted:
- sexually;
- Contact-household;
- From mother to child.
Potentially dangerous strains are 16 and 18 years old.According to statistics, 75% of cervical cancer cases causes this viral infection.
Sexual infection
Condylomas are transmitted from person to sexually.At the same time, the risk of women infection is higher than for men.This is due to the characteristics of the structure of female genital organs.The vaginal mucosa is very susceptible to pathogenic agents.Due to the large area of walls, the probability of infection is very high, unlike men who have less vulnerable places - only a penis and urethra.
It is interesting that you can infect the virus without penis penis in the vagina.The human papillom virus in women and men is contained in discharge and sperm, therefore, when they genital in contact, the risk of infection is high, even without relationship.
Sitty Condylomas are manifestations of one of the dangerous forms of viruses.Such neoplasms influence the mucosa of the genitals, often develop on the lip limit.Contact mucoses with the affected condyloma area can lead to infection.The HPV is located directly in growth, so the infection is possible in kisses or with oral sex.
HPV infection in everyday life
The contact-household transmission of the virus is not sufficiently studied, but the possibility of infection has already been proven when using hygienic objects of other people.Factor increasing the risk of infection is a reduction in immunity.Infection is possible when using other people towels, pillowcases or toothbrushes.
Contact with the skin infected person is harmless.Exception is cases when papillomes are transmitted during handling.Such an HPV transmission is made under the influence of the set of factors:
- The skin with whom a healthy person has contacted densely with papillomes and nipples;
- There is a strong reduction in immunity;
- There is damage to the epidermis in a healthy person.
If a person is in contact with a virus bracket, while the skin is damaged in the place of contact, the HPV transfer is possible.
Transfer of viruses from mother to child
The newborn infects HPV and unpeaked, and through the passage through the born channel.This is due to the fact that numerous microsites of the vagina walls occur during the delivery, as a result that the child's mucoses are in contact with the virus.
The risk of intrauterine fetal infection during pregnancy is low.The virus can only be transmitted if in the active phase.With the Cesarsk section, the HPV infection is unlikely.
Risk factors
Sexual transmission of viruses is a serious problem, which little people think.Despite the apparent safety of the disease, some HPV strains are potentially dangerous for people.As a rule, the infection occurs at the beginning of sexual activity.
The virus incubation period is great.Frequent immunity suppresses the HPV independently, as a result, a person does not even suspect that it is infected.The active phase of the virus is the period of forming growth on the skin and mucosal membranes.
The risk group is all people who do not follow their health.The reason for the activation of the virus is any weakness of the immune defense.
The appearance of the papilloma has been observed:
- Following the transmitted viral and infectious diseases;
- For systemic diseases, for example, with diabetes;
- against the background of the imbalance of hormones;
- After a long course of antibacterial therapy.
Growth appear on any part of the body.Condulmas are formed on the mucous membrane, mainly on the genitals.
Forming papillomes and nipples on their hands and legs can be due to skin damage and falling local immunity.This is seduced in relation to the background of increased foot sweating and wearing too narrow shoes.Hands often appear after contact with household chemicals.
Diagnosis of dangerous virus strains
The formation of the continent in the inguinal zone is an opportunity to visit a doctor.The type of virus is determined by blood analysis, urine, or spoiling from the vaginal mucosa.In addition, the doctor can recommend removing convoys with further histological analysis of growth cells.Such an examination is mandatory in women when CONDYL is formed in the vagina and the cervis in the vagina.
In order to prevent the development of cervical cancer, it allows a timely diagnosis of carcinogenic type of virus.At the beginning of the pathological process of degeneration of cells in malignant, timely removal of hearth and appropriate drug therapy allows you to get rid of dangerous diseases.All women are recommended to be reviewed annually to the presence of HPV type 16 and 18.
The only effective way to avoid infection is vaccination.Vaccination is set for girls aged 7-10.If necessary, vaccination is done in older age, but only if the girl did not have sex experience.
How to get rid of HPV?
HPV drug therapy is aimed at reducing the virus activity.No drugs that destroy this infection.
HPV therapy includes:
- Antivirus treatment;
- strengthening immunity;
- Removing growth.
The main part of the treatment is antivirus therapy.Using medications in fats and tablets.Fats are applied to any growth, allowing virus activity locally blocking the body activity.Immunostimulants and vitamin preparations are used to strengthen body protection forces.
The removal of growth is done only after the flow of antivirus therapy.You can also remove Papillom to a doctoral office and at home.Professional removal methods are laser incineration, cryoderies or electrical agulations.It is also used to remove the paper wave papillom.The advantages of such methods are painless and security.After the proceedings, there are no scars on the skin.
Alkaline mixtures sold in pharmacies were used.The funds are once applied to the body of papillom and ignition of tissues.A few days later growth reduces the size and darken, then disappear.Lack of methods is the likelihood of scarring scars and pain during papillom treatment.
Sharp worreman and the growth on the skin faces cannot be removed alone.Damage to neoplasms on the mucosa can lead to the spread of the virus.Applicable papillomes on the face is full of scarring formation.
HPV prevention
Several rules will help do not infect the virus:
- Maintaining immunity.Any colds must be treated in a timely manner.The treatment of flu and infectious diseases should always be supplemented using the immunity.
- Personal hygiene.Often the infection occurs when using hygienic objects of other people.In addition to towels and pillows, avoiding wearing clothing and footwear of other people, because when rubbing the skin, it can lead to a virus entering the body.
- Sexual contact.Even the use of condom does not guarantee a hundred percent protection from the HPV.The only way out is a permanent partner and fidelity.The virus is transmitted from a man to a woman, the reverse infection occurs less often.
If the growth on the skin interferes, it hurts or attaches to clothing - should be removed.In most cases, HPV does not harm health and causes only aesthetic discomfort.Before removing the papillom on the skin, it is recommended to pass the exam to determine the type of virus.
