Question: Condyloma were found in my two years ago. Rented then tests for papilloma virus negative. Gynecologist explained that the papilloma virus is not such a terrible and if you regularly visit a gynecologist, then nothing terrible will. I calmed down. Then I had a difficult financial times, and I had to walk with my milkmaid in the year in the district antenatal clinics. I was told that it's okay there, and this virus is 80% of the population. Since February this year, go to the clinic for LCA. First I went there with ineradicable milkmaid, but I have also been found enterococci. Gynecologist waited until the allocation will be normal and it will be possible to cauterize the laser erosion. In December, they became normal. The doctor said that it would not hurt to do a biopsy of the cervix. Results do not know. The only thing that I was seriously scared in her words Papillomavirus, sooner or later manifest. I looked on the Internet, what kind of papillomavirus. At one point found that papillomavirus is the same as that of HIV. Recently tested for papillomavirus negative. Other infections also negative. I am now quite scared. That is now my life must be registered with a doctor? If I had negative tests, then I could infect someone with the virus? How people live with such papilloma virus? Whether it reduces life expectancy? Can I give birth to a healthy baby? If say, a married couple, a woman or man will be with papilloma virus, then both spouses should the whole family to protect themselves with condoms, as HIV infection?
Answer: Dear Elena! Human papillomavirus (HPV) is widespread and causes several diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. Currently, more than 100 known types of this virus. Thus different types of HPV cause different diseases. For example, HPV type 1 causes plantar warts, HPV types 2 and 4 common warts, HPV types 3 and 10 are flat warts, HPV types 6 and 11, genital warts, HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35 cause cervical dysplasia and increased risk of cervical cancer. Currently, the treatment that saves on HPV infection does not exist. Current treatment of genital warts is essentially symptomatic and aims to remove or reduce the symptoms of the disease. It does not eliminate the HPV infection and does not prevent further transmission of the virus. After any method of treatment are possible relapses. Condyloma usually occur in places that are traumatized during sexual intercourse. From the moment of infection until the appearance of genital warts can take from several weeks to several years. Genital warty education appear pink or flesh colored. The size of elements from 1 mm to several centimeters. The rash can grow, gradually acquiring the appearance of cauliflower. Infection with HPV occurs through contact with infected skin or mucous, possible contamination of the way home. Feature of HPV infection is that it can indefinitely remain in a latent (dormant) state. This virus is found in the depths of the skin, but the surface is not allocated. In this state it is unlikely the contamination of other people, and the identification of HPV by laboratory methods. Judging by your letter, you need comprehensive treatment (HPV, Candida, enterococci). I invite you to the reception.
