Human papillomavirus and pregnancy

Now, the human papilloma virus is found in almost everyone. Today, about one hundred types are known. The virus manifests itself as neoplasms in various parts of the body.

Scientists have established the role of some of its types in the development of malignant processes. However, it is not at all necessary that a patient who has a human papillomavirus is diagnosed with cancer. However, he will be at risk and should regularly be examined by an oncologist.

In addition, the localization and appearance of its external manifestations depend on the type of virus. About 30 of them contribute to the appearance of papillomas in the anogenital region. To the formation of genital warts most often leads the human papillomavirus virus 11 and 6 types. They can also be in the urethra and bladder.

These types of virus, together with 73, 44, 43, 42 belong to the low-oncogenic species. According to statistics, one third of women with a routine examination of genital warts.

Diagnosis of the virus is carried out through visual inspection and DNA diagnostics. It allows not only to detect its presence in the body, but also to identify types. The most insidious are 68, 66, 59, 58, 56, 52, 51, 45, 39, 35, 33, 31, they belong to highly ionogenic species.

The role of 18 and 16 types in the appearance of malignant processes on the cervix is proved. Their owners need to regularly do colposcopy and analysis for cytology, and if necessary, a targeted biopsy. This will help to identify pathological changes at an early stage, when a complete cure is still possible.

Infection with the virus occurs more often through sexual contact, but other variants are also possible. If ingested, he may not show himself for a very long time. As a rule, papillomas appear with a decrease in general and local immunity, as well as hormonal failures. They occur under stress, strong emotional experiences, chronic and severe diseases.

Often papillomas during pregnancy appear in women's first and last time in life. Decreased immunity and changes in the hormonal background lead to the activation of a long-dormant virus. He does not affect the bearing of the baby.

But the human papilloma virus and pregnancy can still have some unpleasant consequences. Infection of the child is possible during childbirth and the occurrence of papillomatosis of the larynx. Nevertheless, the presence of a virus in active form in the genital organs of the mother is not an indication to the caesarean section. Especially since infection can occur before delivery.

It is done only with large-sized condylomas that will prevent delivery. Basically, they try to remove them during pregnancy surgically immediately after the appearance and not allow their rapid growth. To conduct the same antiviral therapy during this period is impossible, because the drugs used are harmful to the fetus.

Therefore, the appearance of cervical cancer, which can provoke human papillomavirus, is especially dangerous. Since adequate treatment can not be carried out, the issue of interruption of pregnancy with bad smears on cytology that can be regularly given up during the bearing of the child may be raised. In each case, the decision is made by the doctor, guided by the results of colposcopy, a biopsy and the time on which the woman is.

Thus, this virus is a common and mostly harmless disease. However, some of its types contribute to the onset of malignant process, especially on the cervix and anogenital region. If they are found in a person, then he should be examined regularly. During pregnancy, the virus is often activated because of decreased immunity and increased levels of sex hormones.
