Patient's question:
Mother is 62 years old. Recently, she suddenly experienced an increase in white discharge and accompanied by lower back pain. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and found severe vaginal inflammation. The cervical-vaginal cytology smear test revealed a small amount of atypical cells, and it was recommended to undergo an HPV test. The HPV test showed a positive result for high-risk HPV 16/18 at a level of 1.39.Do you need any further examinations or medications? How should she be cared for in the future?
Doctor's answer:
A 62-year-old elderly woman. She has experienced an increase in leukorrhea again, and has tested positive for high-risk HPV types 16/18. Further careful examination is required. It is best to start with a colposcopy to determine if a biopsy is necessary. Based on the examination results, the next treatment plan will be determined. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid eating irritating foods. For patients with severe leukorrhea, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment and do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
