There is no self-test for HPV and you need to go to the hospital for testing.
After continuous HPV infection, if it is a high-risk HPV infection, some cervical lesions may occur, and some bleeding after intercourse or non-menstrual bleeding may occur. In the case of low-risk HPV infection, some vulvar growths may develop. However, this is usually a persistent infection and is not a condition for self-testing.
High-risk HPV is the most common cause of cervical cancer, causing more than 90 percent of squamous cervical cancers. 16 and 18 are the two most carcinogenic of the high-risk types. Low-risk HPV can cause wart-like changes in the anus and external genitalia, and does not cause cervical cancer.
If the patient feels unwell, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for HPV examination and diagnosis and treatment by professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition.
