- Penetration of papilloma pathogens into the body.
- Virus activation.
How does papillomavirus enter the body?
sexual path This is the most common way the virus gets from an infected person to an uninfected partner. Until recently, it was actually considered the only one. Most commonly, viral infection occurs during unprotected sexual intercourse. Sometimes one close contact is enough to become infected. Mucous membranes serve as portals for the virus to spread to other organs. The likelihood of infection does not depend on the type of sexual contact. This is not excluded during both traditional contact and oral or anal contact. Intimate relationships between gay couples have the potential to spread the virus. Safe sex is not a panacea for infection. Even condoms can't always prevent this common disease. The causative agent of the virus is not found in the genitals themselves, but in the groin area of the body. These areas are often not protected during intimate contact. The first sign that the virus has entered the body through this method of transmission is the appearance of genital warts (anogenital warts) in the genital area. from mother to child This transfer method can be used in the following situations: - Intrauterine infection of infants. This condition is fairly rare, but is understood by the medical community. Papillomaviruses tend to penetrate the placenta.
- If there are papillomas on the female external genitalia, the baby may become infected without passing through the birth canal. The virus is almost always passed from mother to child during childbirth.
home style This condition is less common, but it is still possible to develop papilloma. The causative agent of papilloma is not only very active. In theory, it's everywhere: public transport, offices, hospitals, shops, schools and kindergartens. In some cases, just touching a person with the virus is enough to cause new growths to appear on the skin. Therefore, getting to know him in everyday life is a very real prospect.
How did this happen?
By Home Furnishings.Papillomavirus can be spread if people with the virus and healthy people use the same toiletries and hygiene products. Sometimes, even a simple handshake can cause infection. - in public.Bathrooms, saunas and swimming pools are particularly dangerous in this regard, as pathogenic microorganisms tend to spread quickly in moist environments. Fitness enthusiasts may also be in for an unpleasant surprise. When visiting such places, special attention should be paid to personal hygiene.
In these cases, even minor damage to the skin increases the risk of infection dramatically. They serve as a kind of gateway for papilloma pathogens to immediately enter the body. - Autoinfection.Papillomas may appear in new areas of the body as a result of normal hygiene procedures (shaving, trimming nails). Even minor skin injuries provide a comfortable environment for viruses to introduce and multiply.
By trying to remove an existing tumor independently, people can cause the virus to spread to other uninfected areas of the body. This is especially common in children. Soon, new growths will appear on the skin that may outnumber the original growths.

- decrease in immunity;
- hormonal changes in the body;
- Age-related changes (old age).
decrease in immunity
What weakens a person's immune system?
- Chronic stress.Any stress is accompanied by the release of large amounts of hormones into the bloodstream. It is a natural defense mechanism that mobilizes the body's physical forces and responses. However, the function of the immune system is temporarily suppressed.
If stress is chronic, the immune system remains suppressed and is unable to perform its full protective functions. - lack of adequate rest.When a person rests, his body will recover. All physiological processes return to normal. Internal systems begin to work with new vigor, and the immune system is no exception.
- Unbalanced diet.If the body is not getting the required amounts of valuable protein, it will automatically begin to reallocate its existing reserves. First, the muscles will receive valuable substances. But the immune system will be forced to lose the elements it needs. If a vitamin deficiency is discovered at the same time, a decrease in immunity is inevitable.
- Long-term illnesses, especially those associated with antibiotic use.In this condition, the cells of the immune system become damaged and become weak. This is especially dangerous if the disease is not treated completely and symptoms are simply relieved with quick-fix treatments. Long-term use of medications can also sometimes cause the papilloma virus to receive signals to act.
- bad habits.Smoking, alcohol abuse, use of narcotics and toxic substances, and other similar addictive behaviors can cause irreversible damage to the immune system, thereby promoting viral activation.
hormonal changes in the body
- Pregnant.Many times, changes in a woman's body during this time activate dormant viruses. Papillomas can appear on the hands, face, neck, and armpits. Weight gain and sweating contribute to their more active spread. Clothing becomes tighter during pregnancy, creating friction between the fabric and the body, which can lead to the development of additional tumors.
- puberty.During this time, the body goes through the rapid hormonal changes associated with puberty. Against the background of such a process, in addition to traditional acne, tumors can also appear in different parts of the adolescent's body.
- Take hormone medications.Some of these side effects can disrupt skin fiber formation, thereby increasing the risk of unwanted growth in the body.
- female menopause. Women past the age of 40 experience major hormonal changes called menopause. Even ideally healthy women of this age are at risk for the discovery of previously undetected tumors.
- Miscarriage, any gynecological disease.The activity of all organs of the human reproductive system and their hormonal status are interrelated. Therefore, any problem with the reproductive system is a risk factor for papillomavirus activation.
old age
Prevent the formation of human papillomas
- Have a regular sexual life, have a fixed sexual partner, take contraceptive measures during casual sexual contact, and take a shower promptly after intimate contact. It is recommended that both parties undergo regular check-ups with a gynecologist and urologist.
- Observe necessary personal hygiene measures, especially when going to public places. You should follow simple rules: keep your hands clean and shower after going to the pool or gym.
- Choose a healthy lifestyle and consider a well-structured diet.
- Follow the schedule.
- Keep a check on your body's hormonal status and take steps to normalize it (if necessary).
The virus is activated: Papillomas appear
Defeat the enemy
- Strains that do not cause cancer.
- strains that can cause cancer, but the likelihood of this denaturation is quite low.
- strains most likely to cause malignant tumor formation.
Only prompt consultation with a doctor can ensure proper treatment and eliminate the annoying growth.
