Papilloma

Papilloma is a lesion of the human papillomavirus and mucous membranes.

Causal Causes - Viruses of the genus Papilloma virus. Currently, more than 60 variants of them are known, 32 are recognized as pathogenic.

Routes of transport - contact (via pleurisy), genitals, births (at birth).

Symptoms of papillomas

• Papillomas on the skin (warts).
  Most often seen on the hands, less often on other parts of the body. Local wounds are common in children and adolescents. In patients with immunosuppression, muscle damage may be widespread. The breeding season is 1-6 months. Maximum viral load is indicated in the affected tissue 6 months after infection.
• Vulgar (simple) papillomas.
  They are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). This shape is manifested by hard blows with a rough surface that is 1 mm in diameter or more, with a tendency to slide. Floorless papillomas often cover a large area. They can appear anywhere, but they are more often located on the back of the palm and fingers, in children - on the knees. A single papilloma can last for several months or even years, almost unchanged, but a rapid spread of the process is also possible. There are isolated cases of papilloma degeneration in tumors. Immune deficiency contributes to the spread of the process.
• Plantar papillomas.
  The causative agents are HPV-1 (deep form), HPV-2 (mosaic warts) and HPV-4 (minor lesions). The process begins with a small, shiny bump appearing and acquiring the characteristics of a typical papilloma, surrounded by a protruding edge. Sometimes around one papilloma appear numerous daughter forms, resembling spheres - mosaic warts.
  Plantar papillomas can be painful and make walking difficult. The length of their existence is different. In some cases, especially in children, it is possible that the number of papillomas disappears on its own. This form of the disease is often confused with plaque that appears at pressure points on the fingers or between the fingers. Grain, unlike papillomas, has a smooth surface with a skin pattern.
• Flat papillomas.
  Their causative agents are HPV-3 and HPV-10. They are represented by smooth strokes on the color of normal skin (light yellow or slightly colored). They can be round or polygonal in shape. Appearance of flat papillomas, mainly in children, usually accompanied by itching, swelling of the affected area, redness, tenderness.
• Filiform papillomas.
  They are found in 50% of the population over the age of 50 more often in the armpits, groin, neck, around the eyes. The process begins with the appearance of small yellowish or slightly colored cones and then enlarges and changes into long dense elastic formations up to 5-6 mm in size. In places where trauma is possible, papillomas can become swollen. Their involuntary disappearance does not occur.
• Localized epileptic seizures (Beck disease). The causative agents are human papillomaviruses 13 and 32. The disease was first described in the United States. Apply to mucous membranes in mouth, tongue, lips in the form of small combined paper cells.
Genital warts The causative agents of genital warts are human papilloma viruses with low (6, 11), moderate (31, 33, 35) and high (16, 18) cancer risk. Viruses are sexually transmitted diseases. The breeding season lasts from a few weeks to months. In some cases, the wounds are minimal, often do not go away. Infected cells are susceptible to malignancy. In most cases, there is a long and extensive process of immunodeficiency.
Cervical cancer is most commonly diagnosed in women with genital warts. In most cases, despite the age of the patients, the virus is detected by DNA hybridization. The causative agent is HPV-18.
• Papillomatosis of the larynx.
  Causes are HPV-6 and HPV-11. They are rarely listed. In most cases, papillomatosis is diagnosed in children under 5 years of age who become infected in the mother's birth canal. Appearance of characteristic growth of the vocal cords is leading to speech difficulties and impaired airway in the upper respiratory tract.

Treatment of papillomas

The same symptoms can be signs of different diseases and the disease could not continue according to the textbook. Do not try to cure yourself - talk to your doctor.

There is currently no common international standard for the treatment of papillomas. The official treatment guidelines to date are

• cytotoxic drugs (anti-tumor drugs),
• cryo laser,
• electrical destruction.

But they are not always effective and follow attacks.

Other treatments for papillomas:

• For skin and rude (simple) papillomas - removal surgery (cryodestruction, laser removal with immunosuppression).
• For plants - degradation, laser and / or digo-solidification.
• Moaic papillomas are the most difficult to treat. When they disappear, especially in children, signs of inflammation are seen.
• For flat form - weeping treatment with immune correction.
• For filiform - diathermocoagulation.
• For local epithelial epithelium, immunosuppressive crying therapy.
• In case of skin myopathy, crying treatment or diuretic with subsequent correction of immunity.
• Regarding genital warts - remove warts with cryotherapy, laser or diuretic and mandatory correction of the immune system.

Treatment of genital papillomas can be difficult for other genital infections (chlamydia, bacterial disease, herpes, CMV infection, etc. ). In these cases, the treatment is performed in parallel.
