What does a positive HPV 56 test mean?

Patient's question:

A moderate degree of cervical erosion was carefully examined, and the result was positive for HPV 56. The TCT test also showed that the cells were normal. What disease did I get?

Doctor's answer:

The current situation indicates a high-risk human papillomavirus infection, and it is recommended to conduct further careful examination and diagnosis to determine if there is cervical lesions. This may involve a cervical TCT or a colposcopic biopsy for diagnosis. If the cervical biopsy is normal, treatment can be administered through medication applied vaginally. It is necessary to retest HPV once a year. If it turns negative, it indicates self-healing, but regular follow-up tests are still required in the future. Additionally, the patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
