HPV high risk symptoms in women

HPV virus infection is also called human papillomavirus infection. Both women and men can be infected with this type of virus infection. So, what are the symptoms in women? In order to help more female friends improve their understanding and prevention of this disease, it is necessary for us to popularize the actual symptoms of HPV infection in women.

HPV mainly includes high-risk infection and low-risk infection. High-risk infection can cause cervical cancer, and there are no symptoms in the early stages. Low-risk infection can also cause skin warts and genital warts. Generally, warts will appear about three months after infection, and there are no symptoms before the warts appear.

There are three possible outcomes of HPV infection: spontaneous resolution, persistent infection, and progression to cervical cancer. It will disappear on its own mainly for people under 30 years old. Persistent infection means being infected with this virus, and still being infected with HPV when you go for a follow-up visit half a year later. This is a persistent infection, which requires care. The last one is, for example, being diagnosed with HPV infection but ignoring it, until half a year later when you go to the hospital for a physical examination and it turns out to be cervical cancer. By then there is no good way to deal with it.

The HPV virus can remain dormant for a long time, and some people may carry it for life. It usually takes many years to develop into cervical cancer. Some people never develop cancer throughout their life, which is related to their own immune ability.

There are certain differences in the symptoms caused by HPV virus in men and women. Possible gynecological diseases in women: cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, anal cancer, head and neck cancer, throat lumps, and male genital warts (cauliflower). Possible male diseases: penile cancer, anal cancer, head and neck cancer, throat lumps, and male genital warts (cauliflower).

After reading the detailed introduction by the editor, do you have a certain understanding of HPV virus infection? Although the probability of ordinary people being infected with this type of virus is relatively small, preventive measures are still necessary. Of course, in addition to HPV virus infection, there are many viral infections that are also very contagious. We should purposefully improve our understanding of these aspects in our daily lives.
