Patient's question:
I am a woman, 35 years old this year. Recently, when washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: Can I eat crabs if I have a positive result for high-risk HPV?Doctor's answer:
HPV virus, also known as human papillomavirus, is divided into high-risk and low-risk viruses. There is no direct connection between them, but HPV virus can be transmitted. It is best to avoid spicy, stimulating seafood, and grilled meat. Crabs can be consumed in moderation, but not in large quantities. Additionally, patients should actively treat HPV and strictly prohibit sexual activity for the time being to prevent transmitting the virus to their partner. Daily personal hygiene should also be maintained.
