Positive papilloma types 16 and 18 refers to infection with high-risk types 16 and 18 of the human papilloma virus.
Papillomavirus, abbreviated as HPV, is mainly infected through sexual contact or contact with objects carrying HPV. HPV type 16 and HPV type 18 belong to the high-risk subtypes, and most of the patients do not have obvious symptoms, while some of them may have symptoms such as localized itching and increased secretion, etc. Infection with HPV type 16 and 18 may cause cervical cancer.
Infection with HPV type 16 and HPV type 18 may cause cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, skin cancer, anal cancer and other tumor diseases.
If HPV 16 and 18 positive patients have good body resistance, they may turn negative naturally without medication. If the patient’s resistance is poor and the level of disease is low, interferon pessary can be placed in the vagina for drug treatment. If the patient has a high level of infection, surgical treatment can be performed, such as cervical lithotripsy or cold knife conization.
For patients with papilloma type 16 and 18, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, improve cervical liquid-based cytology, colposcopy and other related examinations, and clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition. The use of the above medications should be in accordance with medical advice.
