Numerous epidemiological and research studies have shown that persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary condition for the development of cervical cancer. However, not all HPV infections develop into cancer, and most infections are only transient. HPV infection is common in humans, and there is no need to be overly stressed if you are already infected with HPV, as only a minority of women with HPV infection develop persistent infection. Let’s first understand how HPV infection is regressed. 1.Progression Some HPV infections will further develop into clinically manifested lesions, such as condyloma acuminata and tumors, after a certain latent period. 2.Stasis HPV exists in the skin and mucous membrane tissue for a long time and does not cause obvious clinical symptoms. 3, receding Some HPV infections are self-limiting and gradually recede after a certain period of time. The clinical criterion for diagnosing persistent HPV infection is that the same type of HPV is detected at least twice at an interval of at least 6 months. these women with persistent HPV infection have a higher risk of cervical cancer. Therefore, it is important to insist on attending cervical cancer screening to clarify whether HPV infection is persistent or not, so as to facilitate early detection of precancerous lesions and early treatment of precancerous lesions for the purpose of cervical cancer prevention. Because there is a long and reversible precancerous period in the development of cervical cancer, effective medical intervention for high-risk HPV infection and precancerous lesions can have a cure rate as high as 98%.
