Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a virus that infects the skin and genital area. More than 130 types of HPV have been identified. Some infect the skin and can produce warts, some infect the genital area and can p
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes genital warts.
no one is sure but was discovered with HPV in 1969
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 types of HPVs have been identified; about 40 of these types have the potential to infect the genital area. About 90% of genital warts are caused by two specific types of the virus (HPV-6 and -11), and these HPV types are considered "low risk," having a low cancer-causing potential. Other HPV types have been strongly associated with premalignant changes and cervical cancers in women. HPV-16 is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers, and types 16, 18, 31, and 45 together account for 80% of cancers. Common warts are not the same as genital warts and are caused by different HPV types that infect the skin. Genital warts are indirectly associated with use of birth control pills due to increased sexual contact without the use of barrier protection, multiple sex partners, and having sex at an early age.
Warts are skin tumors caused by the Human Pappilomavirus (HPV). There are over a hundred different types of HPV, some of which cause warts, while others can cause cancer, with a preponderence of cancers being Cervical Cancer.
A wart is what we call a tumour. Warts are rarely cancerous but then again, there is still that small chance. If you think it is an unusual sort of wart, visit your doctor.
HPV does not affect the body of the uterus. HPV may affect the uterine cervix.
HPV enters the body in the epithelium. This could occur in skin or mucous membranes.
All warts are caused by HPV, wherever they are found on the body. If it is not HPV, it is not, by definition, a wart, but is some other kind of bump.
Yes, HPV can be dormant and undetected by a pap smear. A pap smear looks for damage to the cervix caused by HPV. It does not look for all subtypes of HPV or detect HPV infection.
Having HPV does not effect how long it may take you to get pregnant.
No, HPV doesn't spread throughout the body. Syphilis affects the heart, brain, and nerves if untreated.
Yes, your body will typically clear high-risk HPV on its own. There is no treatment to make the infection go away faster. There are treatments for any cellular abnormalities caused by high-risk HPV.
AnswerGardasil is the immunization for HPV. It is administered in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (right below the shoulder)
HPV is passed on through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex. Since HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
Yes, it is assumed to be safe to consume alcohol after having the HPV vaccine. There are no known side effects between the HPV vaccine and consumption of alcohol.
its a disease kalled hpv you should see a doctor
Certain "high-risk" subtypes of HPV can cause dysplasia at the cervix, anus, vaginal, throat, vulva, and penis. Not all dysplasia elsewhere in the body is caused by HPV.
