The papilloma virus in humans is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases.Not sure there is a person who has never heard of him, because today, according to the latest data, 12% of the world's population (this is about 660 million people) infected with HPV.
The situation decreases according to the definition of a disease.It is for this reason that we will find out what HPV is, how it is shown and what can be dangerous.
What is HPV?
It is worth noting that the virus is a wandering gene, they have a kind of intelligence.Koznacheev Academy has sometimes said that about two tons of virus-bacterial-grip, who directly passes through the human body throughout their lives.All these processes, of course, affect the work of the gene.
Infections caused by a human papilloma virus (HPV) are discovered at least once in a life in most sexual activists.The highest circulation rate is observed in women from 20 to 24 years old and men from 25 to 29 years old.Among the reasons affecting the spread of HPV include socio -economic, behavior and health and hygienic factors.
How HPV is expressed
HPV (family papillomaviridae) causes damage to a person's skin and mucous membranes.At the same time, their immune fence is worse, which eventually leads to an increase in inflammation.In other words, in the body, the virus causes the growth of less cells that are not controlled by the immune system, which is clearly manifested in the form of papilloma, warts and Candyl on the skin.Another focus of the Viking people about the expression of this virus is the uterus.The organ is a type of velo exhaust in the body, because it acts as a direct indicator of the existing issues in the body (if any, the process of conception is impossible or difficult).Papilloma virus in humans affects the lining of the uterus and can cause cancer.
Types of HPV
The papilloma virus in humans can be divided into two types - the risk of low cancer and high risk of cancer.In most cases, with a low -risk HPV infection (1, 2, 3 and 4), the body faces strong immunity.In rare cases, this type of infection causes the appearance of warts, benign papillomas, precancerous lesions and even cancer.In return, HPV is considered to be 16 and 18 types as biological carcinogens for cervical cancer, vulva, vagina, penis, anus and throat.
Depending on the manifestations of HPV infection in the form of genital, potential, subclinical and clinical forms are distinguished:
- The hidden form of HPV infection, despite the presence of the virus DNA, does not accompany the morphological changes in the affected tissue.The presence of no symptoms of this type of infection may be determined by molecular biological methods, which need to be constantly monitoring the condition of the cervix, vaginal and vulva.With this form, specific treatment is not necessary.
- HPV infections (occurring, as prescribed, asymptomatic) can be determined in cervical scanner and cytological or histological tests.Most vaginal vaginal vaginal vaginal vagina remains asymptomatic, but often they can cause itching, vaginal discharge or smear after intercourse.
- The clinical form of infection, which doctors often face, manifest mainly in the form of warts and formed papillae, as a rule, in places of injuries in sex.Their appearance and additional relapse are related to the weakness of general and local immunity.An important nuance is from the time of infection to the occurrence of warts that can be transferred from a few weeks to several years.The average time between infection and their appearance is 11-12 months in men and up to six months in young women.
Cervical cancer - how dangerous is it?
To understand the popularity and danger of this disease, it is enough to study the numbers.About 530 thousand cases of cervical cancer (RSM) are recorded annually in the world - it is fourth in the world in the incidence of cancer in women.If we consider the structure of the mortality rate in women under 45 years old, the death of cervical cancer is the first place.
How can I be infected with HPV?
The most common way of infection is vaginal and mouth sex, including no penetration.
Even an hour contact with 80% probability leads to infection.Oral sex can also be infected.A child can take a virus from a mother while giving birth.
Girls who are not yet puberty are at highest risk.
The specificity of the virus is that most men and women are infected at the beginning of sexual activity, and some are infected many times.
Is the infection always a disease?
In a group of people under 30 years and 90% of cases, the infection ends by independent treatment.The remaining 10% surpasses the chronic phase, can go into cervical cancer.This process lasts over time: from the time of infection to the development of cancer, 5-20 years have passed.And cancer does not occur suddenly, it is given before precantic cancer diseases.Therefore, with a careful attitude to your health, this disease can be warned or determined in the early stages.
Cervical cancer in the early stages may not appear symptoms.Therefore, it is very important to regularly visit the gynecologist and take all the requests.Extremely careful, all women should be treated with bloody wastewater, discharged with unpleasant smell, pain in the lower abdomen.
How is HPV and RSM diagnosed?
The diagnostic system is very developed today and allows you to achieve high accuracy in the early stages.First of all, screening tests are used, including cervical cytotoxic testing, HPV high cancer risk testing and cervical enlargement expansion.
Annual cervical screening should be performed for all women from 21 to 69 years old.Cytological research for women from 21 to 29 years old is done every 3 years and from 30 to 69 years old - every 5 years.The HPV test is made in accordance with the doctor's regulations based on the results of the strokes.
HPV prevention and treatment
It is better to prevent any disease rather than treatment - and in the case of HPV, doctors and patients have all the abilities for this.As the main prevention today, vaccination may be recommended.The importance of this vaccine at least evidence is that in many countries, it is included in the national vaccination schedule.Moreover, they do for all children - both girls and boys.And such immunization experience has been accumulated, with data on efficiency.Specifically, the Minister of Health Australia said that in 2020, Australia will become the first country in the world to have cervical cancer, exactly due to mass vaccination since 2007.
Like other viruses, HPV can be removed by different immune stimulating products, such as colostrum, cat claw, shark liver fat, as well as stimulating body with different micro -tissue - calcium, magnesium, iodine, zinc, selenium, iron.These micronutrients enhance immunity and affect the body's protection from HPV.There is a statement that in the case of HPV in the body, a matrix area is formed (the first papilloma arises under the influence of the virus), and if it is burned and removed, and the probability of the new appearance will decrease significantly.With a recurrence of the disease, it is advisable to use systemic immune regulation agents, especially interferon.
