Previously, I had a patient who was only 15 years old in the outpatient clinic. She shyly told me and her mother that she often felt itchy pain, which had seriously affected her studies and life. Her mother had seen my ** and knew the seriousness of the condition, so she immediately brought her daughter to me.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the girl's ** was somewhat red and had some small bumps. After further diagnosis, it was confirmed that she was infected with HPV. The mother panicked, she and her husband are both healthy people, and the daughter is very well-behaved, and she is only 15 years old and has never been in a relationship.
In fact, what I want to share with you today is that HPV infection is not limited to sex. In fact, there is also a high possibility of other routes of transmission, such as accidental contact with towels, bath towels, washbasins and other items used by HPV carriers.
Later we learned that the girl often went to her aunt's house for the night and washed her clothes together. After my aunt came to the clinic, after examination, it was found that she was also a carrier of HPV.
So, while sex is a high-risk route for HPV infection, we can't ignore other possible modes of transmission. I am ** expert Xue Saiqin, you can always ask me questions about HPV, and I will do my best to answer them for you.
