Where should I go for treatment for different breast problems?

I mentioned breast disease before.

Should go to general surgery or breast surgery

I wonder if you still remember it?

If you don’t remember, I’ll say it again here.

Breast discomfort

Or if you just want to do a breast examination

Should I go to breast surgery or general surgery?

Not to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

In addition to breast examination

There is another situation where you don't need to come to the obstetrics and gynecology department

This is human papillomavirus infection

This is what we often call HPV infection

Everyone knows

HPV infection and cervical cancer are closely related

So if there is something wrong with the cervix, why don't you go to the gynecologist?

If there is something wrong with your cervix, you should see a gynecologist.

But HPV infection

It's not just a gynecological problem.

The HPV infection that we often say causes cervical cancer refers to high-risk HPV types, among which 16, 18, and 52 are the most common.

However, if there is a high-risk type, then there is a corresponding low-risk type. Low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 are common and are the main viruses that cause genital warts. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease. If low-risk HPV infection is found, "small bumps" will appear on the vulva and perianal area.

You should see a dermatologist right away.

Although low-risk persistent infection

It may also cause cervical lesions

But overall the probability is not high

So there is no need to pay too much attention

So remember?

Except for breast diseases, I don't see a gynecologist.

If you are infected with low-risk HPV, you should go to a dermatologist in time.
