HPV virus screening for cervical cancer

HPV screening is reliable. HPV is a pathogen associated with cervical lesions that has been identified at this stage. HPV persistent infection is one of the risk factors for cervical cancer. HPV infection is divided into high-risk, medium-risk and low-risk types. The so-called high-risk type is that these patients are more likely to cause cervical cancer. If the infection is low-risk, it may cause precancerous lesions or condyloma acuminatum in the future. The possibility of causing cervical cancer is relatively small. The risk of cervical cancer is greatly increased if a high-risk HPV infection persists. HPV infection is mainly associated with multiple sexual partners or early sexual life, smoking, alcohol consumption, multiple pregnancies, autoimmune status, and genetic factors.
