Recently, a netizen said that he was infected with HPV after taking a hot spring bath, which was once a hot search. What exactly is HPV? It makes many netizens shudder at the mention of it. HPV virus is human papillomavirus, there are different types of viruses, the main transmission routes include sexual transmission, mother-to-child transmission, contact transmission, etc. Different types of HPV virus may cause different clinical symptoms, low-risk infection may cause flat warts and genital warts; high-risk infection may cause tumors, especially cervical cancer. Experts point out that when hot spring water or public supplies (such as towels, bath towels, slippers, etc.) contain viruses, there is indeed a chance of coming into contact with the virus and carrying it through the skin or mucous membranes; if there are tiny cracks in the skin or mucous membranes, it is easy for the HPV virus to invade the human body and cause infection. It is not recommended for women to take hot spring baths during periods of low immunity, such as during menstruation, pregnancy, infectious diseases, and skin ulcers. In addition, it is not recommended to take hot spring baths when you are fasting, full, drunk, overly tired, or have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When taking a hot spring bath, you need to choose a formal and clean bathing place, bring your own personal items, and understand the precautions when taking a hot spring bath. You can still enjoy the warmth and comfort brought by the hot spring. Everyone is afraid of being infected with the HPV virus, but in fact, the biggest worry is cervical cancer. We call on all female friends to have a healthy sex life, get HPV vaccines, and undergo regular cervical cancer screening, which are important ways to prevent cervical cancer. Cervical cancer screening is not as scary as imagined. Just relax and the specimen collection can be completed in a few minutes. |
