Are vulvar growths necessarily caused by HPV?

I believe everyone is familiar with HP v. HP v is actually what people often call papillomavirus. Once the body is infected with papillomavirus, it may cause various diseases. Among them, women's uterine diseases are also closely related to papillomavirus. A small number of women have vulvar growths on their vulva. So does a woman who has vulvar growths have to be infected with HPV?

HPV viruses are divided into high-risk and low-risk. Low-risk HPV viruses are genital warts. If a woman is infected with a low-risk HPV virus, she will have symptoms of vulvar warts. However, if you have not had unclean sexual life or are still a virgin, the chance of being infected with the HPV virus will be very low, so it is also possible that the growths on the vulva are caused by inflammation or menstrual allergies.

HPV virus, also known as human papillomavirus, is divided into two types: high-risk and low-risk. The high-risk type may cause cervical cancer in women, while the low-risk type is genital warts among sexually transmitted diseases. The symptoms of genital warts are very obvious, mainly the growth of growths on the surface of the genitals, such as acne, pimples, rashes, cauliflower, etc. So many women want to ask if vulvar growths are definitely caused by HPV after they have them.

First of all, the growths on the vulva cannot be ruled out as being caused by HPV virus infection. As mentioned above, low-risk HPV infection is genital warts among sexually transmitted diseases, and its main symptom is vulvar growths. But if a woman has never had unclean sexual life, or is even still a virgin, then the chance of contracting genital warts will become very low. However, for women who have had unclean sexual life, especially unprotected sexual life, the chance of being infected with genital warts will become very high. Therefore, women can also roughly rule out whether they are infected with the HPV virus based on their sexual life.

Secondly, for women who have not had unclean sexual life, the appearance of growths on the vulva may also be caused by inflammatory infection. At this time, women should first observe whether the growths are painful or itchy, because the growths caused by HPV infection are generally painless and itchy. Most of the growths caused by inflammatory infections are accompanied by pain and itching. In addition, some women may experience growths during menstruation, but the growths will disappear naturally after the menstrual period. This is mainly caused by menstrual allergies and has nothing to do with the HPV virus.
