The causes of papillomas on the surface of the body in women in most cases are related to infection of the body by the papilloma virus. There are also congenital formations that are transmitted along with genetic information from one of the parents.
What are nipples?
Papules are benign neoplasms in the body of women, the causes of which are the pathogenic activity of viral microorganisms from the papillomavirus family. Translated from Latin it means "nipples - nipple" and "shoulder - typical end for tumors of all kinds".
Nipples are formed by the epithelial cells of the host. Externally, it looks like a nipple with a flat, sharp, rounded or branched shape.
A distinctive feature of benign neoplasms of this type is that they are able to develop in the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, internal organs with a hollow structure, inside the nasal openings, the nasal sinuses, in the vocal cords.
Initially, the papillary root is formed by squamous epithelium with gradual growth on the general skin.
The color of the tumor can range from flesh to brown and pink. . . The localization of the papilla in the bladder, intestines, organs of the respiratory system can cause the development of simultaneous diseases and complications.
Types of nipples on the body in women
Depending on the location of the warts, their appearance and the reasons that caused their formation, there are different types of papillomas. The following table lists the types of benign tumors of this type, indicating their characteristics.
| Papilloma type | Characteristics of the tumor |
|---|---|
| Genital warts | They can be found on any part of a woman's body. Externally, they look like an elongated hanging meat, which in most cases has a brown tinge. |
| Papilloma vulgaris | The classic form of human papillomavirus. The neoplasms have a round shape; they are attached to the main surface of the body in a thin and short stem. They have the color of flesh like the rest of the skin. |
| Genital warts | The detection of tumors of this type is the familiar zone in men and women. Infection occurs as a result of unprotected contact with an infected partner. The main location of the tumors is the periphery of the anus, the large lips and the small ones in women and the foreskin in men. In case of non-observance of the rules of hygiene and hygiene, it is possible to infect the household. |
| Aging warts | Found in older women. They occur as a result of hormonal changes in the body, metabolic disorders, prolonged exposure to open sunlight. The main risk of this type of papilloma is the high risk of their degeneration into malignant neoplasms. |
| Plantar | Papillomas of this type are located exclusively in the area of the plantar part of the foot. Externally, they look like a small cauliflower head with branched inflorescences. If a woman walks a lot, wears tight shoes, plantar warts can become inflamed, bleed and cause pain. |
Almost all of the above types of papillomas are formed as a result of infection of a woman with one or another genotype of the human papillomavirus. The only exceptions are senile warts, which can occur due to age-related changes in the body of the elderly.
Stages and degrees of nipples on the body in women
Like any other benign tumor formation, papillae develop in a woman's body at various stages.
In this respect, the following stages of wart formation can be distinguished:
- Stage 1uncontrolled squamous cell epithelium division and papillary root formation, which is asymptomatic and imperceptible.
- Stage 2- the formation of a wart head, which rises 1-1, 5 mm above the general surface of the body, if it is located in the folds of the joints, in the area of the belt, in the neck or under the armpits, may cause discomfort, abrasion, skin irritation.
- Stage 3a complete flat, rounded or oblong neoplasm appears, which has a root, a leg, a main body in the form of a head and a blood supply due to the smaller capillaries connected to the rest of the epithelial tissues.
- Stage 4proliferation of similar papillomas, formed as a result of cell division of an existing tumor (extended papillae are dangerous with a high probability of malignant degeneration of a wart).
The stage of the skin disease is determined by the dermatologist during the examination of the patient. The method of treatment is selected based on the diagnostic results, the type of papilla and its degree of development.
Papilloma symptoms
Papules in the body (the causes in women that caused the appearance of tumors are related to infection by viral microorganisms) are single or multiple benign tumors that are easy to detect with external signs.
The symptoms of papilloma in women are as follows:
- the appearance of a small tubercle rising above the general surface of the epithelium.
- wart root growth, which gets bigger every week.
- An external neoplasm appears in the body, which is characterized by a round, branched or conical shape.
- The main sites of papilloma in the female body are the armpits, the inner thighs, the neck, the surface of the skin under the mammary glands, the groin, the perineum, the genitals, the back, the plantar part of the foot.
- In case of prolonged exposure to the surface of the wart, rubbing and pain may occur.
- the nipple may have flesh, yellowish, pink, brown shades, which is the rule.
- Attempts to self-remove the tumor do not lead to a positive result and the shredded wart grows again.
The presence of such symptoms as the sudden change of the color of the wart to darker colors, the appearance of an acute inflammatory process, the release of pus or liquid blood, pain attacks, are worrying signs that are not characteristic of the papilloma. In this case, the degeneration of a benign formation into a cancerous tumor is not excluded.
Reasons for appearance
Nipples on the body (the causes in women that caused the disease may be related to the patient's lifestyle) is a chronic dermatological pathology that occurs under the influence of the following factors.
Factors of papillomas in the body:
- lead an indiscriminate sex life, have close contact with an infected partner without using barrier contraception.
- sharing towels, cosmetics, soap and other hygiene products with a person with papillomavirus;
- sharing indoor slippers and other footwear;
- visiting public showers, baths, swimming pools, open-skinned steam baths that touch surfaces where there are viable papillomaviruses;
- hormonal imbalance in the body caused by concomitant diseases of the endocrine system.
- transmission of viral infection to an open wound during shaving.
- infection of a child by a sick mother during the passage of the fetus through the birth canal.
In most cases, it is not possible to determine the true cause of warts on the body. The incubation period of the papillomavirus after infection ranges from several days to 3 or more years.
Diagnostics
To make an accurate diagnosis in the form of a papilloma, a woman must undergo a comprehensive examination of the body and directly the area of skin where the benign tumor is located.
The diagnosis of papillomas is made in various stages, namely:
- visual examination by a dermatologist;
- venous blood donation for biochemical study and determination of papillomavirus virions;
- examination of the deeper epithelial layers of the wart using a dermatoscope.
- capillary blood collection for clinical analysis.
- selection of papillary particle for further histological examination in order to exclude the oncological nature of the origin of the tumor;
- delivery of morning urine to determine its biochemical composition and general indicators of a woman's health.
The location of the papules in the affected area, in the genitals and in the perimeter of the anus may require additional examination by a gynecologist, as well as examinations for the presence of sexually transmitted infections.
When to see a doctor
The main risk of this type of warts lies in the aesthetic defect, as well as the risk of their degeneration in oncology.
It is recommended that you seek the advice of a dermatologist as soon as the appearance of an external tumor is detected.
Early diagnosis and determination of the type of papilloma allows you to organize effective treatment and remove the tumor with minimal risk of complications.
Prevention of papillomas in the body
Papules in the body (the causes of warts in women can be eliminated with effective preventive measures) are benign tumors that can be easily prevented by following the following rules.
For example:
- to have a tidy intimate life, to have only one sexual partner.
- Wear only your own shoes and do not let others step on them.

- undergo a preventive medical examination by a dermatologist at least once a year;
- Balanced diet, sleep at least 8 hours a day, enough rest to ensure the normal functioning of the immune system.
All of the above recommendations do not guarantee 100% protection against papilloma infection, but they allow you to minimize the risk of disease and avoid contact with sources of possible infection.
Methods for the treatment of papillomas on the body in women
Papillomatosis is a completely incurable disease. A woman who has been infected with the wart-causing virus carries it for the rest of her life. Modern methods of treating the disease can only get rid of the consequences of the pathology in the form of benign neoplasms.
Medicines
Traditional medicines do not completely get rid of papillomas, as warts of this type require removal by chemical, thermal, electrocoagulant, laser or surgical treatment.
Traditional methods
Alternative medicine offers its own alternative ways to get rid of papillomas, regardless of their type and location in the female body. The following are traditional methods for removing warts.
Knitting with yarn
It is necessary to wait until the phase of the moon is in the waning stage. You will need to take a piece of black thread, use it to tie the nipples, tying a knot. This thread comes out in the garden and is buried in the soil with the words: "When this thread breaks, all my warts will go away". After 2-3 weeks, the nipple will begin to soften and collapse without signs of pain or inflammation.
Special media
There are special treatments for warts and papillomas, but they do not work and guarantee relapse. One of these tools is, for example, a special patch.
Such products usually contain natural ingredients that neutralize the virus to some extent.
Dog saliva
To get rid of a benign tumor using this method, you need to apply the warts with a uniform layer of sour cream. After that, the woman should go to the dog so that he licks the lactic acid product with his tongue.
After that, the nipples are sealed with medical adhesive plaster. Saliva cannot be wiped off the surface of the tumor. After 1 week, the patch can be removed. From this point on, the wart will begin to crumble.
Moxibustion with celandine
During the growing season of this plant (from late May to mid-June), you must daily collect the branches of celandine and cauterize the warts with poisonous yellow juice. The duration of treatment is 10 to 30 days. Precautions must be taken to prevent the juice from penetrating the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes.
The effectiveness of the use of the above folk remedies for the removal of papillomas in the body has not been proven by official science. Women who have used similar recipes have been able to achieve the desired result and respond positively to these treatments.
Other methods
The most effective way to treat papillomas is to remove them completely.
For this, the following methods are used:
- chemical combustionprovides for exposure to the wart surface with aggressive solutions based on acid, potassium or sodium alkali.
- electrocoagulationThe nipple is cut and cauterized using a loop-shaped tool, the metal end of which is electrically operated (the treatment procedure is performed under local anesthesia).
- freezing- a benign neoplasm is burned using a liquid nitrogen solution (under the influence of low temperatures, the epithelial tissues freeze and then disintegrate in parts).
- laser coagulation- the papilla is resected with positively charged laser particles, the removal of the main body of the wart and the cauterization of its root system is ensured.
- surgical removal- the traditional and most common method of treatment of a dermatological disease, which consists in the resection of the wart with a scalpel and then the application of suture material.
All of the above papilloma treatment methods allow you to remove benign tumors with minimal risk of recurrence of the disease.
The average recovery period is 3 to 7 days. The safest method is laser resection and electrocoagulation. The most painful and traumatic treatment is the traditional surgical removal of the wart.
Possible complications
In the absence of adequate response and treatment of papilloma in the body, over time, a woman may experience the following complications.
Possible complications:
- occurrence of similar warts in other parts of the body, which indicates an increase in viral activity.
- the degeneration of the wart into a malignant cancerous tumor, which can lead to death.
- the appearance of similar neoplasms in the cavity of the bladder, intestines, larynx, trachea, which will lead to cessation of their work, problems with urination, respiration and digestive function.
- cervical cancer (scientific studies have shown that 80% of women with this disease are infected with human papillomavirus;
- increase in the size of the wart, creating a cosmetic and aesthetic defect.
- injury to the neoplasm and penetration of bacterial infection into the epithelial tissues.
To prevent the appearance of papillomas on the body in women, it is necessary to remember the causes of their appearance. This will maintain the health of the skin, will prevent the reduction of the immune status of the pathogenic activity of the papilloma virus. The disease itself is not life threatening, but its presence can cause the development of serious complications.
