Why do women get HPV?

From a medical point of view, HPV virus can be said to be a sexually transmitted disease. Common sexually transmitted diseases in daily clinical medicine and that we often hear about include AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, etc. However, with the increasing incidence of cervical cancer cases in my country, HPV virus has become a hot topic of concern. Although STDs are mainly contracted by men, women are more susceptible to STDs than men in terms of body structure, especially the HPV virus, which is currently receiving widespread attention.

Why do women get HPV?

First, there are many gland ducts, crypts, and folds inside and outside the female genitals, and the natural environment is relatively humid and cold, which "creates" particularly suitable living conditions for the HPV virus;

Second, the female hormone secreted by women has the function of promoting the growth and reproduction of HPV viruses or bacteria;

Third, the contraceptive devices used during sex (with different health indicators) will have different degrees of impact on the female genitals, increasing the possibility of HPV infection;

Fourth, when women are sexually aroused, their uterus contracts, which can cause HPV virus to spread to the uterus and bilateral fallopian tubes, greatly increasing the possibility of infection.

Fifth, the damage to the uterine wall during menstruation makes it easier to get infected with HPV if you have sex;

Sixth, abortion surgery for women damages the cervix and uterine wall, and women's immunity decreases during the reproductive period, making HPV virus more susceptible to infection.

If you are infected with HPV, how should you eliminate the viral infection?

After a woman finds out she has been infected with the HPV virus, the first thing she needs to do is to figure out what type of infection it is. This requires going to the hospital for a clinical diagnostic quantitative test. Through this test, the type of infection and the severity of the condition can be determined.

There are many types of HPV viruses. If you are found to be infected with type 16 or type 18, you need to do a colposcopy biopsy as soon as possible. If the puncture biopsy result is normal, you only need to check HPV and TCT every year. If the puncture biopsy shows abnormalities, you need to start treatment immediately.

If other types of infection are found after examination, a TCT test is needed. If the result is normal, an HPV test can be performed every year; if there is an abnormality, a vaginal puncture biopsy is also needed.

If you are infected with HPV virus which has mild side effects, you generally do not need special treatment. You just need to enhance the body's immunity. You can eat more Agaricus blazei, carotene, and chewable tablets to quickly enhance the body's immunity and help eliminate HPV. In addition, you also need to increase exercise, pay attention to diet and daily living habits.
