For HPV, young women between the ages of 20 and 30 generally have a greater ability to heal and clear themselves, and this ability decreases after the age of 45.
It should be noted that patients have high-risk HPV infection, and the main ones here are what we often say is that pathogenic cervical cancer viruses HPV16, HPV18, HPV31, HPV45, HPV52, etc. are combined with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
1.Most women have a relatively short HPV infection period, in 2-3 years, generally disappearing on their own in 8-10 months, and about 10%-15% of women over the age of 35 are in a state of persistent infection and will have a higher risk of cervical cancer. HPV infection usually has no obvious clinical symptoms and cannot be detected as an ordinary disease, so the screening of high-risk HPV is of great significance for the early detection of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. The detection of HPV here is relatively necessary, and the ** value of cervical epithelium can reach 997%, which can reduce and eliminate the missed diagnosis caused by false negatives in cytology screening.
2.HPV infection and cervical cancer occur in a sequential relationship, generally 10-15 years, worldwide cervical cancer specimen studies found that HPV16 accounted for 50%, HPV18 accounted for 14%, HPV45 accounted for 8%, HPV31 accounted for 5%, others accounted for 23%, so HPV infection is very common in women. But it's mostly transient. The HPV type is also associated with the pathological type of cervical cancer: the prevalence of HPV16 infection in cervical squamous cell carcinoma is 56%, while the prevalence of HPV18 infection in cervical adenocarcinoma is about 56%.
Therefore, it is necessary to be proactive in cervical screening to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. How to effectively prevent HPV?
1.Age-appropriate HPV vaccination.
It is best to get the HPV vaccine before you have sex. The 9-valent cervical cancer vaccine is the first choice, and if the 9-valent vaccine is not available for a while, quadrivalent and bivalent are also good options.
2.Safe sex.
Single sexual partner, adhere to the whole process of complete measures.
3.Regular screenings.
HPV combined with cytology screening, early detection of cervical lesions, early treatment. HPV infection is not as scary as we think, but it needs to be taken seriously. For married women with children, TCT and HPV examinations should be carried out regularly to be prepared, early detection, early diagnosis, and early **.
