HPV refers to human papillomavirus, which can be transmitted sexually, through indirect contact, and vertically from mother to child.
1. Sexual transmission: HPV infection may occur if sexual life is chaotic or intercourse is too frequent. Meanwhile, if you do not pay attention to personal hygiene or health management during sex, you are likely to be infected with HPV.
2. Indirect contact: For example, contact with daily necessities of HPV patients, such as towels, bed sheets, toilet bowls, underwear, etc. This may lead to HPV infection.
3. Vertical transmission from mother to child: During delivery, especially normal delivery, the fetus passes through the soft birth canal and passes through the vagina, then it will be infected with the virus, causing HPV infection in infants and children.
There is no need to be nervous if you are infected with HPV because HPV infection is mostly transient and most of them can be cleared by their own immunity. For those with persistent infections, it is necessary to improve the relevant examinations and active treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
