Nipples on the lips are a rather subtle problem that causes dissatisfaction with oneself and a reduction in the quality of sexual life. They are difficult to hide, they can cause discomfort during intercourse, so the nipples must be removed. In addition, in some cases, genital enlargements in women can be a dangerous risk factor for developing cancer.
Reasons for papilloma formation
Nipple warts or genital warts are a result of human papillomavirus infection. In total, there are more than 100 strains of this virus, which differ in the type of neoplasms and the degree of risk of developing oncology.
The virus enters the body mainly through sexual contact against the background of reduced immunity. At the same time, a man who has infected a woman may not have visible signs of the virus, as nipples in men do not always appear on the skin.
Decreased immunity occurs in the context of recent communicable infectious diseases, vitamin deficiencies or chronic stress. Nipple nipples can be caused by a decrease in local immunity as a result of various inflammatory and infectious diseases of the genitals, including chewing gum and bacterial vaginosis. At the same time, for infection, it is enough to use other people's personal hygiene products, so that after a while non-aesthetic growths appear on the lips.
Thus, despite the fact that the virus is transmitted from one person to another, the reasons for the appearance of nipples on women's lips are the following:
- reduced immunity after ARVI, pneumonia, influenza or tonsillitis.
- vaginal infections;
- non-observance of personal hygiene;
- stress;
- unbalanced diet;
- the presence of a chronic outbreak of infection in the body.
- irreverent sex.
All of these factors lead to reduced immunity, both general and local. As a result, the body becomes sensitive to various adverse effects and can not resist the human papillomavirus.
Very often, the virus does not manifest, it is limited by human immunity. This only applies if the person is completely healthy. The virus can then be asymptomatic in the body for a long time. Papilloma formation will occur as part of reduced immunity. If this does not happen in the following years, the body can deal with the virus on its own, however, self-medication usually lasts at least 18 months.
What do nipples look like in the genitals?
How a woman's lip infection manifests itself depends on several factors:
- virus type;
- the concentration of the virus in the body.
- detection of increases.
The formation of papules on the labia minora is caused by the effect of oncogenic or conditionally oncogenic strains of the virus (16, 18, 31, 32, 45 and other types). It is easy to understand what such nipples look like on the lips, knowing what a wart is. These are small nipples with serrated edges that rise above the surface of the mucous membrane. They usually do not differ in color or are slightly lighter than the mucous membranes. Manifestations of the papilloma virus on the lips, causing the development of genital warts, can spread to a woman's perineum, vulva and vagina.
Warts always form only on the mucous membranes. Nipples on the inner lips in women do not appear, they form only in areas with thin skin.
Nipples are small balls on the foot that rise above the skin. They have smooth, well-shaped borders, may be slightly lighter or darker than the rest of the skin. When pressed, the nipples on the lips do not hurt, under the fingers it feels the homogeneous structure of growth. This type of neoplasm occurs in the groin area and on the labia majora.
Almost any of the known methods are used to remove nipples on the lips, as the risks of burns or deep damage to the skin are minimal. The treatment of papules on the labia minora is carried out in a comprehensive way, as such growths are potentially dangerous.
Warts can form in the following areas:
- small lips;
- vulva;
- sinus;
- Cervix;
- anal opening;
- crotch;
- urethra.
The picture of papilloma on the lips is no different from the images of growths on other parts of the body, while papillomas or warts on the vagina and vagina are difficult to see on their own.
The formation of a nipple on the lips during pregnancy is associated with a decrease in immunity. In this case, early treatment of the effects of HPV plays an important role, otherwise there is a risk of infection of the child when passing through the birth canal.
Why are papillomas dangerous?
Sexual contact and the human papillomavirus on women's lips are directly related. First, when in contact with the affected mucosa, there is a risk of transmitting the virus to the sexual partner. Second, by rubbing during intercourse, nipples and warts can be damaged, which is accompanied by pain. There is a risk of infection from papillomas, while inflammation and can begin to degenerate into cancer.
There are cases where, due to repeated injuries, a woman has a huge nipple on her large lips. No woman is insured against such a risk. Large growths are very dangerous and must be removed first.
Nipples in the lining of the labia minora and in the vagina can lead to the development of cervical cancer. This is due to the activity of the papillomavirus, which is manifested by excessive division of epithelial cells in the labia minora and other parts of the mucous membrane. In this case, the damage to the cells of the cervix develops in several stages. First, erosion is formed due to HPV on the lips and then it turns into dysplasia, which is a precancerous condition. Lack of timely treatment of dysplasia leads to the development of cervical cancer.
It should be understood that any papillae in the lip mucosa pose a potential risk. Papules themselves can degenerate into cancer and not just cause cervical oncology. Signs of a malignant papilloma are an increase in the size of the growth, pain and itching, discharge with an unpleasant odor from the body of the growth and tanning of the skin of the affected area. If you notice such symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible - an oncologist, gynecologist or dermatologist.
Treatment and removal of papillomas
How to treat nipples on the lips depends on their number and size. It is recommended that you do not self-medicate, but consult a doctor who will tell you in detail what you need to do to remove and prevent the recurrence of nipples on the lips.
To get rid of nipples on the lips you need to be consistent. First, the activity of the virus is suppressed, then the growth itself is removed and, if necessary, immunostimulatory therapy is performed. To accurately determine the sequence of treatment, a PCR analysis must be performed, which shows the degree of activity and concentration of the virus and also allows you to determine its strain.
If a woman is found to have a potentially dangerous strain of the virus, aged 16 or 18, complex treatment is required. In this case, each removable papilloma is sent for histological analysis and a complete examination of the cervix for changes in the epithelium is performed.
How to remove nipples on the lips depends on the exact location. Skin tumors are removed in any available way - from surgical to folk. This is due to the fact that the skin of the large lips is quite thick, so there are rarely complications after removal. It is fair to say that the formations on the large lips in most cases do not pose a risk to health and do not cause cancer.
The removal of genital warts on the mucous membranes is done either with the help of laser exposure or with the method of radio waves. These two methods are considered the mildest, while they do not clog the vessels that feed the growth, so the risk of bleeding is minimal. When removing tumors from the cervix or vagina, histological analysis is required to rule out the onset of the pathological process.
You should consult your doctor about how to remove nipples on the lips. If the analysis showed a high concentration of the virus in the body, there is a risk of re-formation of genital warts, therefore, a complex treatment is performed, which includes three stages.
- After the virus strain is identified, the woman is prescribed antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy. This is necessary to suppress the virus and minimize the risk of papilloma recurrence.
- After the drug treatment, which lasts several weeks on average, the nipples are removed by the method chosen and agreed with the doctor. Laser or radio wave removal method is recommended.
- Shortly after removal of the tumors, the analysis should be repeated. If the virus concentration is still high, a second course of medication is prescribed.
The medicines used to treat papillomas are available in the form of tablets and ointments. Antiviral ointments with immunoregulatory properties are recommended for the treatment of papillomas on the skin. If growths appear on the mucous membranes, it is advisable to take pills.
As a rule, after the removal of the nipples and the drug treatment, the body heals on its own after a few months or years. In order to prevent the papillae from reshaping, a woman must follow the rules of hygiene, maintain her own immunity and avoid unprotected sex.
