Papillomas during pregnancy: causes of occurrence, symptoms, treatment
Many women during pregnancy worried small formations on the skin and mucous membranes – the so-called papillomas. As far as they are dangerous for the future mother and baby?
Pregnancy is not only a wonderful period of waiting for the birth of the long-awaited heir, but also the real test for the future mother. It was at that time that a woman may have a number of diseases and pathologies with which she did not come across earlier. It happens on the background of hormonal restructuring of the body and reduce immunity, which is quite natural during pregnancy.
One of these troubles are papillomas – small formations on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes. Find out how dangerous they are dangerous for the future mother and baby and what methods to combat this problem today exist.
What is Papilloma?
Virus Papillomas of man (HPV) – the general name of a group of viruses whose number exceeds hundred. To date, Papilloma is the most common benign education, which develops from a flat epithelium and forms on the skin in the form of warts or growths.
These formations can perform on the neck, in the area of the armpits, on centuries, under the milk glands, on the mucous membrane of the mouth and nose, genitals, etc. Externally, the outgrows have the shape of a roasted scallop or cauliflower, and their color varies from corporal to dark brown.
The papilloma virus is transmitted when touches and sexual. Women and men are equally infected with papillomavirus, and the disease can be manifested only a few months after infection.
Most of the risk of infection are subject to people leading an erratic sex life and having bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol abuse. We are vulnerable to virus and people with weakened immunity – for example, after transferred influenza, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as women during the waiting period of the child.
Because of what papillomas appear during pregnancy?
Accurate, scientifically based data that would prove HPV activation in future mothers, today no, but there are certain assumptions about the causes of the disease in pregnant women:
Hormonal activity. Everyone knows that during the extension of the fetus, the body of the future mother is exposed to large-scale hormonal changes. Hormones are able to influence the growth of some cells in the upper layers of the skin and provoke the emergence of growths;- rapid weight gain. It happens most often in the last trimester when the fruit (and at the same time and the future mother) begins to actively gain weight;
- friction skin. The result is simple: the weight of the future mommy increases, and the usual clothing becomes close. In places of friction of the skin with clothing (in the collar region, the armies of the sleeves, in the groin) are small balls, which later grow up.
Symptoms and diagnostics
As mentioned earlier, papillomas are small balls that appear on the skin of pregnant.
Most often during the waiting period, the toddler, the growths appear on the neck, face, top of the chest, on the nipples, between the milk glands, in the groin area and the armpits.
An indicator that a woman has HPV, is almost always the appearance of papillomel on the skin and mucous membranes. However, assuming the presence of a virus in the body of a future mother can be in advance of the growths. To do this, we must pass a special analysis to Papillomavirus (it is paid and appointed at the request of a woman or the doctor’s recommendation).
However, the level of fibrinogen can also signal. Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver due to which blood clotting occurs. If the fibrinogen is elevated, this suggests that the body is the process of dieting the tissues or inflammation of viral or infectious nature, in particular, HPV.
How dangerous Appearance Virus Papillomas during pregnancy?
All women in «Interesting» position and collided with this problem, disturbing how dangerous HPV for the baby has not yet born.
In most cases, these concerns are groundless: the virus does not affect the health of the fetus, except for those cases when unpleasant growths are affecting the vagina and sexual lips of the future mother.
Education, localized on the genitals, pose a threat to the health of the crumbs to be born, because in this case it is possible to infect the baby during its passage by the generic paths. And this, in turn, is fraught with the emergence of such a disease in a child, like condylomatosis (respiratory or laryngeal papillomatosis) Large.
That is why, in the event of a genital papillomal, pregnant women recommend to abandon the natural delivery and resort to Cesarean cross section.
And for the woman herself, genital warts (so called genitals in the field of genital organs) are of serious danger, because in the absence of treatment and progression, they can lead to cancer tumors!
The main threat that HPV carries, is that in a complex with a weakened immunity, a woman can exacerbate (either) various diseases that cause complications of pregnancy and / or health problems in a newborn.
In addition, HPV during the toasting of the fetus can cause the development of candidiasis (thrush), which the baby during childbirth can also be infected.
Treatment with papilloma during pregnancy
Unfortunately, methods of complete cure from the disease does not exist. You can get rid of it only by eliminating symptoms, that is, the removal of unpleasant growths themselves.
Engage in self-medication and try to do it yourself yourself – remember that it can be dangerous both for the mother itself and for the kid!
If you have papillomas, be sure to consult a gynecologist! It will prescribe the necessary tests, will determine the type of virus and prescribes treatment if necessary.
Remove papillomas During pregnancy in two cases:
- When the growths are in places of contact with clothing (for example, on the neck or in the groove region) and, stronger, can be damaged by mechanical path;
- If they are located on the sex lips and in the vagina, that is, they can pose a threat to a child.
If the formation is localized on the body and do not deliver the woman inconvenience (except, of course, psychological discomfort), do not hang and do not inflict, their removal is postponed until the time when the kid will be on the light.
However, it often happens that the symptoms of HPV after childbirth disappear by themselves.
Surgical removal can be carried out by circumcision by special scissors either by freezing. This procedure is almost painless (feelings resembles a mosquito bite) and does not require anesthesia.
But unfortunately, even the removal of formations does not guarantee that they will not appear again. In 30-50% of cases after surgical excision, papillomas appear again at the moment when the human body is weakened by any reason.
Prevention of the disease
Most often, the growths during pregnancy appear for those women who are already carriers of HPV. To reduce the risk of unpleasant processes, it is necessary to protect yourself from supercooling, not to wear too close and tight clothes, control the weight gain, and also take the necessary vitamin and mineral complexes necessary for maintaining immunity.
In order to avoid infection with papillomas, it is recommended to attend such public places such as a bath, sauna, swimming pool, and most importantly – to enter into sexual contact with only one partner, which is not a carrier of this virus. Remember that even a condom cannot guarantee 100 percent protection against pointed papillom.
