Patient's question:
I am a woman, 37 years old this year. Recently, I have always felt pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Moreover, my private area has been very uncomfortable, with itching and burning, especially in the afternoon, which is really unbearable. Please ask: What are the 18 common high-risk HPV genotypes?Doctor's answer:
Based on the different types of HPV and the varying levels of risk for tumor development, HPV is classified into low-risk and high-risk types. Low-risk HPV includes types such as HPV 6, 11, 42, 43, and 44, which commonly cause benign inflammatory conditions like genital warts, including cervical intraepithelial low-grade inflammation (CINI). High-risk HPV includes types such as HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68, and is associated with the occurrence of cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial high-grade inflammation (CINII/III), particularly types HPV 16 and 18.
