Simple infection with the 12 high-risk HPV (human papillomavirus) types is not serious, but if combined with an abnormal TCT (liquid-based thin-layer cell), a pathologic biopsy is needed for further determination.
The 12 high-risk HPV types include subtypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 68, etc. Usually, the infection is transient and can be cured on its own, but long-term recurrent infections can lead to cervical cancerous lesions, which need to be taken seriously.
If the TCT is normal and the infection is simple, the infection is not serious, and the virus can be converted to a negative level through diet, exercise and medication, so there is no need to be overly anxious. However, it should be noted that infection with 12 types of high-risk HPV will significantly increase the risk of cervical cancer, and it is necessary to comply with the doctor’s advice to regulate timely treatment and regular review.
12 types of high-risk HPV infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer, if there is an abnormal TCT test, it is necessary to pay attention to timely tissue biopsy, if there are pre-cancerous lesions and cervical cancer lesions, the situation is more serious, and it is necessary to carry out timely treatment (e.g., cervical conization, radiotherapy, etc.).
It is recommended that the patient should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and review.
