What Is HPV Infection And How It Can Affect Your Life

Most HPV patients do not show symptoms

Most of the patients who are infected with HPV do not showcase or feel any signs that they have the virus; some women only learned that they are infected as soon as they see the abnormal result of their Pap smear. Although there are some symptoms like genital warts but some patients just overlooked or misunderstood it.

Some doctors are skeptical to do HPV testing

This is because until now, the benefits of HPV testing are still uncertain due to the majority of HPV infection going away in two years time without any complications. It is also reported that the positive result of HPV testing can lead more distress to the person infected.

HPV Tests are different from men and women

For women, it is easier to detect HPV through the abnormal result in the Pap smear, while for me, there is still no HPV test available to detect the virus.
