Papilloma - is HPV often manifests itself on the skin and mucous membranes. Many people do not even realize that this viral disease can be quite serious. The penetration of the papilloma virus into the human body leads to the appearance of neoplasms (papules) from pale pink to dark brown in color on the body - these are benign tumors, very similar in appearance to warts. Their further development will depend on how ready the human body is for resistance. Indeed, in some situations, they begin to rapidly spread on the skin and are sure to make themselves felt, while in others they will remain invisible for a long time.
Papillomas and pregnancy
If papillomas were found on the body of a pregnant girl, or the period of her infection occurred during this period, then there is a high risk that the fetus may also be infected with them intrauterinely. During pregnancy itself, papillomas are not necessarily transmitted to the baby; they may not infect him at all or may be transmitted during childbirth. Also, new mothers should not forget that they can infect their baby with HPV through blood, clothing and breast milk. Moreover, the removal of papillomas in this case is individual.
What does intraductal papilloma look like?
Intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland
looks like a papillary growth protruding in the lumen of the duct or cystic cavity, sometimes resembling a cauliflower in shape.
The size of intraductal breast papillomas ranges from a few millimeters to 2-3 centimeters. Small intraductal papillomas of the mammary gland are often multiple and peripheral (grow in the small ducts of the peripheral parts of the lobules of the mammary gland). Large papillomas, as a rule, are located closer to the nipple and are located in the lumen of larger ducts.
Why is intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland dangerous?
Intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland is a precancerous condition
, and therefore requires immediate attention to an oncologist-mammologist, but the risk of degeneration of these formations is different.
intraductal breast papillomas often develop into breast cancer
(forming papillary, ductal breast cancer), and large, central, solitary tumors have an extremely low risk of malignancy.
When around a large intraductal papilloma
a cystic cavity with dense walls is formed, this process is called
cystadenopapilloma of the mammary gland
.
Women at any age can suffer from this disease, but more often intraductal papilloma
is detected in women after 40 years of age.
The causes of intraductal papilloma of the mammary gland are considered to be a hormonal imbalance in the patient’s body, which can be caused by dysfunction of the ovaries, inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs, excess weight, abortion, chronic stress, and smoking. In addition, quite often in patients diagnosed with “intraductal papilloma”
there is a hereditary predisposition to this disease.
The danger of intraductal papillomas. Papilloma on the nipple, can it be removed?
Intraductal papilloma begins to appear near the nipple. In order to remove papilloma that has arisen directly on the nipple, it is best and most effective to use electrocoagulation with local anesthesia. A person must constantly monitor his or her health. If you notice the first signs, be sure to consult a doctor. It is much easier to protect the patient in the early stages of the disease. Therefore, you should know that the first signs of nipple papilloma are the appearance of clear or bloody discharge from the nipple. You should pay attention to the fact that in some cases, streaming papilloma may be the first news that cancer will soon begin to develop in the body. That is why this disease should be treated very carefully. Gorbakov’s clinic has created all the conditions for a quick response to this disease. Here, removal of papillomas is carried out quickly and painlessly, with consultation of an oncologist.
Do cystadenopapillomas need to be removed?
Single or multiple cystoadenopapillomas are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Cystoadenopapilloma can become malignant and turn into breast cancer. This doesn't always happen.
Therefore, treatment of these tumors is recommended. Surgery is recommended if malignancy is suspected by any of the examination methods. If there is no evidence of degeneration, observation may be carried out. Surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and involves removing the breast tissue where the papilloma is located.
Papilloma on the bladder
This type of papilloma, like ductal papilloma, is a precancerous condition. In this regard, as soon as the specialists of the Gorbakov Clinic discover a papilloma of the bladder, it will be immediately removed, using all innovative technologies and modern drugs. Most often, we use transurethral electroresection for this purpose.
Today, on pharmacy shelves you can find a large number of medications that help fight HPV. One such drug that is truly effective in treating this disease is Isoprinosine. But no matter how wonderful the drug is, it is still almost impossible to do without surgical intervention. When the specialists of our clinic prescribe Isoprinosine to their patients, they always monitor their health and notice the slightest changes. Therefore, it is recommended to use it only under the close attention of a doctor. But you should pay attention to the fact that the main task of Isoprinose is to increase the functioning of the immune system, its resistance to viral infections, but not to fight the papillomas themselves. Therefore, papillomas are removed using laser, radio waves, or other effective methods.
It should be noted that the human papillomavirus has the ability to spread throughout the body and cause various diseases not only of the skin, but also of the mucous membranes. Today there are just over 100 viruses of this type. At the same time, what diseases the papilloma virus will cause depends on what type of virus is currently in the human body. For example: 1 pit of viral papilloma - leads to the development of plantar warts, 2 and 4 - ordinary warts familiar to many, 3 and 10 - leads to the appearance of flat warts, as for 11 and 6, they contribute to the development of genital warts. But at the same time, removing papillomas is a difficult matter, but so necessary for many.
Genital condyloma is a flesh-colored neoplasm. They most often form on the genitals and around the anus. But sometimes they can spread in the oral cavity.
Many people do not know how one can become infected with the human papillomavirus, but everything in this matter is quite simple and open. Infection occurs through contact with contaminated skin or mucous membranes. Sometimes transmission of the virus can also occur through household means. The thing is that a long period of time may pass from the moment of infection. Since the virus can remain dormant for a long time and not make itself felt at all. Moreover, the virus is located in the skin itself. When it is in this state, it is almost impossible to detect it in the laboratory, as well as to infect other people.
There are two groups of human papilloma viruses that affect both the skin and mucous membranes.
So, there are “high-risk” human papillomaviruses that often lead to cervical dysplasia, and therefore can lead to cervical cancer. If a “low type” virus is detected in a person, it means that it will not cause anything other than genital warts.
But the thing is that the papilloma virus turns into genital warts only in 2% of cases. Only for those people whose immune systems are very weakened. Therefore, relapses of the disease and other problems associated with this can often occur.
Most often, genital warts are localized in places that can be injured during sexual intercourse. It should be noted that the period of manifestation of the disease is so ambiguous that sometimes it begins to manifest itself within a few weeks after infection, and sometimes waits for several years.
After the papilloma virus begins to manifest itself, small warts that are either pink or flesh-colored form on the genitals. If the immune system is weak, then they begin to increase in size, forming capsules.
As for men, the formation of papillomas occurs on the head of the penis.
In women, they infect the vagina, labia, clitoris, cervix and even the hymen. In this case, removal of condylomas becomes somewhat inconvenient and causes some discomfort.
In addition, we should not forget that papilloma can appear around the anus. It should be noted that the occurrence of this disease in this particular place most often has nothing to do with sexual contact through the anus. It’s just that genital warts lead to damage to large areas of the skin, so if damage to the external genital organs has begun, then there is a high probability that the anal skin around the anus will soon become infected.
Red, brown, white papilloma. What color does it say?
Papilloma is a benign tumor, the appearance of which is caused by damage to the human papilloma virus. Infection can occur through unprotected sexual intercourse and through direct contact with a virus carrier. For many people, the virus is inactive, so they are not even aware of its existence.

The color and shape of the growths may vary, but they are not dangerous until they begin to change. Their increase, change in color and shape may mean that the tumor has degenerated into a malignant tumor. In this case, treatment should be started immediately.
Red papilloma: causes and appearance
Sometimes a red papilloma initially appears on the body. This is due to the many design features of the building. This phenomenon should not be shocking. Red papillomas often appear on the skin of babies. They occurred due to the fact that the mother had an infectious disease during pregnancy.
In the same situation, if the original pink or fleshy growth suddenly turns red, this phenomenon cannot be ignored.
There are many factors that can cause this process:
- It grows and hurts;
- The patient is taking medications containing hormones;
- Alkaline products are used to remove sediment;
- Under pressure.
If the papilloma suddenly turns red and causes unpleasant pain, there is a high probability of injury. This led to bacterial infections in addition to viral infections.
Diagnostics
In order to recognize the condyloma virus or papilloma, it is necessary, first of all, to consult a highly qualified doctor. Treatment of diseases on the body can be carried out by a dermatologist or cosmetologist, on the male genital organs by a urologist, on female genitals by a gynecologist, and near the anus by a proctologist.
In order to accurately establish the diagnosis, the doctor conducts a full examination of the patient at the first appointment. This is necessary in order to distinguish genital warts from other diseases similar to it in appearance.
Specialists at our clinic examine all patients with genital warts for the presence of HIV diseases and syphilis. If necessary, examination is also carried out for the presence of other diseases transmitted during sexual intercourse. In this case, genital warts are removed using the most convenient and accessible method.
How is the operation performed?
Previously, operations were performed to remove the nipple, which inevitably led to a cosmetic defect. Currently, surgical interventions are performed to preserve the nipple (resection of the central zone). If the tumor is located outside the central zone of the mammary gland, standard sectoral resection is performed. If tumor malignancy is detected, radical intervention is performed - mastectomy or organ-sparing intervention.
High-quality diagnosis and treatment can only be provided by a specialist who, in accordance with your indications and based on your situation, will select an individual treatment regimen for you and give further recommendations.

Treatment
To date, experts have still not been able to find a drug that would be able to completely rid a person of papillomas. Therefore, medications and therapy aimed at treating genital warts contribute to the relief of symptoms rather than a complete cure. That is, they are not able to completely rid the human body of viruses, or prevent their further appearance, and there is no guarantee that no one will be infected in the future. After all, the main goal is to relieve symptoms, prevent the occurrence of more serious cancers and make a person’s life normal. No treatment guarantees complete recovery, so there is a high probability that relapses may occur in the future.
Treatment of cystadenopapilloma
In first place is surgical intervention - removal of a benign tumor originating from the protons of the mammary gland, especially if malignancy is suspected.
Surgery is usually performed under general intravenous anesthesia and involves removal of the breast tissue containing the papilloma.
Currently, cosmetic operations are performed without subsequent scar defects on the skin, with preservation of the nipple when the central zone of the mammary gland is removed. If the papilloma is not located in the central zone, then sectoral resection is performed.
If the intraductal papilloma is not prone to degeneration, according to the examination, then treatment with dynamic observation is possible, which includes:
- Antiviral drugs, since papilloma most often occurs as a result of viral infections.
- Immunocorrective drugs (only based on the sensitivity of blood leukocytes to immunity drugs).
- Antioxidant drugs, especially vitamins C and E.
- Preparations aimed at cleansing the body and, as a result, improving health.
- Homeopathic remedies with antiviral antitumor effects.
