How long can you live with HPV infection

I believe many people don’t know, so I will explain it to you here. It refers to human papillomavirus type 16. There are various types of hpv, divided into low-risk and high-risk. hpv16 belongs to the high-risk type. This type of virus infection can cause genital warts. Many of them are detected during premarital examinations. If the infection is long-term, it can also cause cervical cancer and affect women's fertility. So, what are the symptoms after being infected with HPV16, and how long can a person live?

How long can a person live with HPV?

HPV16 and HPV8 are high-risk factors for cervical cancer and are widely infected, but most people rely on their own immune system to heal after infection. As long as they pay attention to treatment, it will not develop into cancer. Patients do not need to worry too much. Infection with HPV16 and HPV8 does not necessarily mean cancer, and it will not put an end to your life. There is no saying that the maximum survival rate for this disease is two years. The only way is to go to a regular hospital for antiviral treatment as soon as possible to obtain effective relief and treatment from the source. If you leave it untreated, it may develop into cervical cancer, so you must never give up, raise awareness, and get diagnosed early.

What are the symptoms of HPV16 infection?

1. For small condyloma acuminatum, the private parts may feel itchy and painful, and the patient may also feel abnormal during urination.

2. The surface of HPV can have a variety of colors, but the HPV part is relatively moist, which can cause vulvar itching, pain during sexual intercourse, and even bleeding. HPV usually occurs in the male genitals, urethra, anus, duodenum, urethra and glans penis. HPV appears as dark red papules at first, then slowly expands. The surface of HPV is uneven.

3. The symptoms of HPV may occur in the urethra. The patient may have urethral discomfort, overflow urine, gross hematuria, secretions from the urethra, a feeling of urethral obstruction, and difficulty urinating or urinating.

HPV virus mainly spreads in three ways:

1. Transmission through sexual intercourse

Studies have shown that the key way HPV infection is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Among married women, approximately 60%-80% are infected with the HPV virus, especially young women who are having sex for the first time and women with many sexual partners, the probability of being infected with the HPV virus is very high.

2. Immediate skin contact

In clinical medicine, many women have not had sexual intercourse but have been found to be infected with the HPV virus. It is likely that they were infected through direct skin contact.

3. Spread of maternal and infant products

If a pregnant woman is continuously infected with the HPV virus, it may cause cervical disease, which can easily lead to intrauterine infection of the fetus in the womb, resulting in laryngeal papilloma in the newborn. However, the probability of this happening is low.
