Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection. HPV is caused by any sexual contact. This virus is the most common in sexual transmitted diseases. Once you have it, there is no cure, but there are treatments that can prevent it from getting worse. In the other hand, this virus can go away as its own while your immune system is fighting to clear it up naturally. It is more likely to not have symptoms, but some consequences can be genital warts or even cervix cancer. In fact, when you have a high risk in HPV, there is no sign, until you have serious health problems. That’s why regular checkups are so important. For example, a Pap test can detect abnormal cells in your cervix. “A Pap test doesn’t directly test for cancer or even HPV, but it can discover abnormal cells that are likely to caused by HP”. Besides that, there are some treatments that are colposcopy, cryotherapy, and LEEP. Colposcopy is a process in which they look closer in your cervix to see if there are precancerous cells. Cryotherapy removes or freezes precancerous cells from the cervix. LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) takes out precancerous cells from the cervix with something that is called an electrical current.
If you have an STD, you should go and treat it. Do not ignore the infection. If you ignore the infection, it can cause bigger problems in your health system, like cervix cancer. An option to prevent HPV is vaccines, and this vaccine helps to prevent getting high-risk HPV types, and can also prevent getting genital warts. The vaccine is recommended at the age of 11-12 ,or even older. Also, PAP Tests are really helpful to detect any abdominal cells or to prevent getting cervix cancer. It is really important to take a break instead of doing sexual contact again. You don’t have to tell your friends you have the virus, but talk to your doctor privately to see what you can do to manage this situation. It is really important to keep your body healthy.
In conclusion, even if you don’t notice, HPV is really dangerous and causes high-risk health problems. Remember to talk to your doctor if you feel that you have this infection or only to have the vaccine put on for safety reasons. Take your time and think about what you are about to do. You can change your mind at any time. If you are a teenager, do not try to engage at a young age, because it can cause big problems. If you are about to do a sexual activity, use protection, be careful, and take care. If you feel ashamed or scared of being infected, talk to your parents or someone who you really trust.
