How are pregnant woman treated when they have HPV?
There is no "treatment for HPV." A patient with genital warts may seek treatment. A patient with cancer related to HPV will need treatment. The presence of HPV alone does not require treatment in anyone, whether or not she is pregnant.
What is the best treatment for HPV?
There is no cure for HPV itself. But doctors can treat the visible symptoms (like warts or abnormal cells), but they cannot eliminate the virus from your body once you have it. Most HPV infections go away naturally over time as the immune system clears the virus. If HPV causes genital warts or abnormal cells (in the cervix), there are effective medical treatments: For Genital Warts Topical medicines applied directly to warts – Imiquimod cream – Podofilox solution/cream – Sinecatechins ointment These treatments reduce or remove visible warts but do not cure the virus itself. Warts may come back. Procedures to remove warts – Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen) – Electrocautery (burning with electric current) – Laser therapy – Surgical removal For Abnormal Cervical Cells Doctors may use: Colposcopy and biopsy to inspect and remove abnormal areas LEEP (a loop electrical excision procedure) or similar surgical methods to prevent precancerous cells from progressing to cancer. Although there isn’t a specific antiviral drug to eliminate HPV, most people’s immune systems clear the virus naturally within a couple of years. Maintaining good overall health helps your immune system work better. Examples include: Eating a nutrient-rich diet Quitting smoking Regular exercise Managing stress Getting enough rest The HPV vaccine (e.g., Gardasil 9) is one of the most effective tools for preventing HPV infection and related cancers. It does not treat an existing HPV infection, but it: Protects against multiple high-risk HPV strains Significantly reduces the risk of cancer and genital warts in people who haven’t been exposed to those strains yet. Because HPV can lead to cervical cancer, regular cervical screening (Pap smears and HPV tests) is essential. Early detection of abnormal cells allows treatment before they become cancerous.
