In rare cases on the tongue and in the oral cavitysmall papillomas may appear, usually they are pointed, flat, on a stalk, multiple. The reasons for the appearance of such warts in the mouth can be different. The most dangerous can be called papillomas of foliate papillae, which usually appear in women. A papilloma in the mouth, as a rule, causes painful sensations, it can bleed, often breaks off and grows, as it is injured during meals. If there is inflammation, then the warts begin to grow strongly, causing pain. In children, papillomas are soft, they rarely turn into ulcers, often disappear on their own. In addition, neoplastic papillomas can form on the oral mucosa, they are a multitude of nodular elevations, located either isolated or simply merge.

Causes of papilloma in the tongue

The reasons why a papilloma appeared on the tonguemay be different. The main one is a viral disease, so warts appear as a result of infection with the human papillomavirus, or HPV. Today, about sixty varieties of papilloma are known, warts appear due to infection with types 1-3, 16, 18 of papilloma. The infection itself is carried out in the following ways:

• through ordinary household items (extremely rare, but possible);
• with direct contact with the carriers of this virus (quite rarely, usually through saliva).

It is almost impossible to identify such a virus carrier, warts may not appear for decades. The factors that “force” papillomas to wake up as growths on the skin are the following:

• non-observance of the rules of hygiene (most often these are small children who tend to pull everything they fall into their mouths);
• malnutrition (lack of vitamins, nutrients, many trace elements, vegetable protein);
• frequent stressful situations, overwork - everything that leads to a decrease in immunity;
• oral sex with HPV carrier;
• presence of micro-traumas in the tongue.

Therefore, taking into account possible causes, it is necessary to follow the rules of prevention that will allow you to protect yourself from infection with papilloma and further long-term treatment.

Types of papillomas of the oral cavity

Papillomas affecting the tongue can be of two types:

Pointed. Such warts are similar to small, very sharp papillae, which have a pale pinkish color. They are thin, small, usually quite strongly interfere, because they constantly cling to their teeth, cheeks. They are quite dangerous because they are easily torn off, they can grow very much, resembling cauliflower in appearance. Most often, such a variety appears under the tongue, greatly interfering with the conversation, eating. Treatment of their long, you must be careful, as close to the veins.

Flat papillomas are formed in the form of flattenedPapules that have rounded, clear boundaries. Such warts slightly protrude above the surface of the skin, they differ more vividly. Usually, there are no big problems with such a papilloma, there are no painful sensations either. If it does not expand, then there is no need for urgent surgical removal, usually symptomatic treatment is prescribed.

The symptoms of papilloma in the mouth are quite simple:on the surface of the mucous membrane, elevations are formed that can cause discomfort, awkwardness when swallowing. If the location is on the back of the tongue, then such phenomena as the appearance of a tuberous tumor with dimensions of 2.5 cm are observed. Most often, these are formations similar to small leaf-shaped papillae that are easily torn off, forming bleeding ulcers. In this case, treatment is necessary, prescribed only by a doctor. There are also "folk" methods of combating the virus, but, as a rule, they only allow you to remove the external manifestation, and the virus itself continues to remain in the body.

Alternative medicine against papillomas of the tongue

Removal of papilloma is recommended only underunder the supervision of a doctor, but there are also several folk methods of combating warts, many of which are quite effective. What to do in this case? One of these methods is potato juice, which is recommended to be taken two glasses a day about thirty to sixty minutes before meals. To make the taste of the juice less unpleasant, you can add apple juice to it. But here it is worth mentioning that you should first try a small amount of apple juice, as the papilloma can react strongly to such an irritant. Potato juice is prepared in this way: red varieties are peeled, grated on a fine grater, squeezed through two layers of clean gauze. You need to drink the juice for two months, along the way it helps with diseases such as gastritis, ulcers, adenoma and many others. Potato sprouts help in the case when the papilloma was accidentally torn off during a meal. To do this, the sprouts are washed and poured into bottles with 40-degree vodka or alcohol. The wound is lubricated twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. The irritation goes away in about two days, and there is no growth of the papilloma. You can also make a tincture from the sprouts, which produces an excellent therapeutic effect, removing papillomas from the surface of the cheeks. In any case, before you start using traditional medicine methods, you must first consult with your doctor, who will clearly outline the treatment plan, tell you what can be used and what is not recommended. Also, you cannot completely replace the doctor's plan with traditional methods alone, this can lead to significant deterioration, inflammation, and growth of papillomas on the surface of the tongue.

General treatment of papilloma

Papillomas under the tongue or on its surfaceare quite difficult to treat, which is due to their location. But simple removal cannot remove the virus from the body, so complex treatment is necessary. In addition, the possibility of relapse of the disease is approximately 30%, and this forces you to follow preventive measures, follow treatment plans exactly. The treatment itself is quite complex, which is due to the location of the papillomas. Methods such as cauterization are excluded here, although they have proven themselves quite well on other parts of the body. During treatment, constant sanitation of the oral cavity is mandatory. At first, the safest methods are used, although not so effective, it takes more time, but the presence of the growth in the mouth puts forward its own requirements. More aggressive methods are used only if there is no progress in treatment. When prescribing measures to remove warts in the mouth, the following factors must be taken into account:

• independent permission of papillomas;
• very high risk of recurrence;
• location of the papilloma on the oral mucosa.

The following decisions are considered reasonable:

• treat warts symptomatically, that is, when there is discomfort in eating, painful sensations, sprouting warts;
• The papilloma requires constant observation.

Doctors often prescribe antiviral drugs,to remove the cause of papillomas; take them internally and externally, use constant sanitation of the mouth. In case of severe pain, growths, it is necessary to use invasive removal under anesthesia. Warts rarely appear on the tongue. This is good, since it is in the mouth that papillomas are exposed to the most intense effects when eating, warts can burst, grow strongly, cause painful sensations when eating, talking. In addition, it is in the mouth that they are affected by a large number of irritants in the form of food, saliva. Treatment of warts that have appeared in the mouth is quite complicated, usually it is longer than usual. You cannot use cauterization, it is not recommended to tear off warts on the face on your own, use treatments that have not been prescribed by a doctor. If you have papillomas on your tongue, it is recommended to immediately contact your doctor, who will prescribe adequate, correct treatment for this disease.
