Key Points about Human Papillomavirus (HPV):
- Definition: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection that affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is primarily known for its role in causing genital warts and is also linked to cervical cancer.
- Causes: HPV is a sexually transmitted infection, commonly spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.
- Symptoms: Many HPV infections are asymptomatic. When symptoms do appear, they often manifest as genital warts or abnormal cervical changes detected on a Pap smear.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is often made through visual examination of warts or cervical screening (Pap smear or HPV test) for high-risk HPV types.
- Management: Treatment may involve the removal of warts, management of precancerous lesions, or monitoring for changes in cervical cells. Vaccination is also a key preventive measure.
- Complications: Untreated HPV infections, particularly high-risk types, can lead to cervical cancer and other anogenital cancers.
