Patient's question:
Female, 39 years old, after the examination, I received the report, the doctor said I am infected with HPV, please ask: what do various types of HPV representDoctor's answer:
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a spherical DNA virus with multiple types. Based on the clinical manifestations caused by different types and the severity of symptoms in the affected tissue areas, clinical diagnosis classifies it into four categories: low-risk skin type, high-risk skin type, low-risk mucosal type, and high-risk mucosal type. According to the HPV test result report, if it shows a positive (+) result for a specific HPV type, it indicates a recurrence of infection with that virus type, which also suggests the recurrence of the corresponding disease.
