The mechanism of formation of papillomas in the intimate area
Inactive genital human papillomavirus can live in the body for quite a long period. The virus can infect others, completely unaware about it.
The revitalization and growth of viral cells occurs with the weakening of protective forces of an organism. The result is the appearance of tumors.
Contrary to popular belief that the papilloma is causing discomfort only in cosmetic terms, it can provoke health problems.
Types of HPV
According to the international standards all tumors are divided into three types:
- Benign.
- Malignant.
- Borderline (pre-cancerous).
It is important to determine the type of warts on the body. The type of neoplasm depends on the strain of the virus.
In most cases, people are faced with non-dangerous forms of infection that are not harmful to health and cause only aesthetic discomfort. It is sufficient to remove a wart is to forget about the discomfort.

Conventional medicine divides HPV into 4 groups:
- non-oncogenic;
- low-oncogenic;
- bearing medium oncogenic risk;
- different high carcinogenicities.
Non-oncogenic, i.e., do not transform over time into a cancerous tumor, as a rule, are papillomas vulgar, flat, and plantar types. If you take the General definition of papilloma, in Latin, can be described her as "a tumor of the papilla".
