Patient's question:
Recently, my leukorrhea has appeared with many abnormal symptoms again. The leukorrhea has become particularly abundant, and sometimes it also has a peculiar odor. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. Is it necessary to examine HPV carefully due to abnormal leukorrhea?Doctor's answer:
HPV is the human papillomavirus. Once a woman is reinfected with human papillomavirus, it is very likely to cause interference with her health, and it may also lead to an increase in vaginal discharge. However, there are many reasons that can cause an increase in vaginal discharge, the most common being various gynecological infections. Therefore, it is best to first undergo a thorough examination for gynecological infections. If it is not caused by gynecological infections, then proceed with an HPV examination.
