What causes warts in pregnant women?
To begin with, it must be said that there is an assumption that such formations are most often observed in people with an increased body weight, arise in places of friction (inguinal region, armpits).
However, if papillomas on the body appeared during pregnancy, then most likely it is directly related to the hormonal changes that occur at this time. It was found that an increase in the concentration of hormones affects the rate of cell growth in the epidermis. However, at the same time, the friction of the skin in the folds is the provoking factor.
This is what explains the fact that most expectant mothers note that papillomas on the body during pregnancy appeared in 2-3 trimesters, i.e. when a woman significantly increases weight.
What danger are papillomas for the fetus and gestation in general?
It is worth noting that the papillomavirus almost does not affect the course of pregnancy and the development of the baby. In rare cases, it can be passed on to the child during childbirth, however, it's not terrible either, - the body cope on its own, because receives ready-made antibodies from her mother along with milk.
Very rarely there may be papillomatosis of the respiratory tract, the appearance of warts directly on the baby's vocal cords as a result of infection with a strain that causes the appearance of genital warts. Such a violation requires appropriate treatment.
