HPV stands for human papillomavirus and is a spherical DNA virus. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus, and some data show that more than 70% of sexually active women have had HPV infection in their lifetime. HPV is divided into low-risk subtypes and high-risk subtypes. However, the majority of women with high-risk HPV infection have the virus cleared by the body’s immune system on its own within 2 years. Only a very small percentage of women have persistent HPV infection, and a very small percentage of women with persistent HPV infection are at risk of developing cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancer in the future. A significant proportion of women with persistent infection have a need for a first or second child. Women with persistent HPV infection who are likely to develop cervical lesions in the future will go through a rather slow process. This means that precancerous lesions of the cervix develop before developing into cervical cancer. The shortest time required for this is 7 to 10 years. Therefore, if you are infected with high-risk HPV, especially if you are infected with type 16 or 18. If you are already married please get pregnant and have children as soon as possible. Among pregnant women, there are also many who are HPV-DNA positive. Annual gynecological checkups are recommended for women of age because it can detect and treat early cervical cancer in time. In particular, a cervical cancer screening such as HPV and liquid-based cytology such as TCT or LCT should be done before pregnancy, if precancerous lesions of the cervix are found. If precancerous cervical lesions are found, you can treat the precancerous cervical lesions before conceiving. If there is a problem with the cervical cancer test, a colposcopy can be done to rule out cervical lesions. HPV infection does not enter the human bloodstream and does not affect fetal development during pregnancy (HPV infection in newborns is mainly due to exposure to HPV-contaminated amniotic fluid), so although it is possible to infect a newborn at birth, many babies clear up on their own within two years of birth. We recommend that pre-pregnancy check-ups should pay attention to cervical conditions and screening for HPV infection. If you do not have a cervical cancer screening before pregnancy, you can have a cervical cancer smear and HPV during your early pregnancy check-up. HPV infection has not been found to be associated with miscarriage or premature birth and is not teratogenic. Please feel free to get pregnant. Interestingly, although studies have shown that the probability of transmitting HPV during a cesarean delivery is half that of a normal delivery, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that the benefits of a normal delivery be weighed against the high percentage of newborns free of HPV, and that a cesarean delivery not be required for fear of HPV.
