What does a gynecological examination HPV mean?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

HPV testing is primarily used to check if you are carrying the HPV virus. Generally, the HPV virus can lead to cervical cancer. During a vaginal examination, if superficial erosion is observed, along with contact bleeding, increased vaginal discharge with a foul odor, persistent pain in the sacrum, buttocks, and thighs, or urinary and bowel dysfunction when the bladder and rectum are affected, this test should be performed.
