HPV6 positive, no warts

HPV is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate. Its main transmission methods are through blood, sexual intercourse, and maternal transmission. At present, it is difficult for us to treat this disease. We need to control it in the early stages, as it is difficult to treat in the late stages. When we find out that HPV is positive, we need to pay attention to it because our reproductive organs may have been infected and need treatment.

Clinically, there are more than 200 types of HPV, and different types can cause different diseases. Depending on the pathogenicity or carcinogenic risk of HPV subtypes, HPV can be divided into two categories: low-risk and high-risk.

Low-risk HPV mainly causes exogenous wart-like lesions on the anal skin and male external genitalia, female labia majora and minora, urethral orifice, and lower part of the vagina, as well as low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Its virus subtypes include HPV6, 11, 30, 39, 42, 43 and HPV44. In addition to causing genital warts, high-risk HPV can more importantly cause genital cancer, cervical cancer and high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The main virus subtypes are HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58 and HPV61.

What are the common clinical diseases caused by different HPV types?

Experts point out that common warts (mainly types 1, 2, and 4) are called warts or thorn warts and can occur anywhere, but are most common on the hands. Plantar warts (mainly types 2 and 4) grow under the calluses and can easily cause pain when walking. Flat warts (mainly types 3 and 10) often occur on the face, hands, arms, and knees.

Genital warts (mainly types 6 and 11) are prone to occur in warm and humid areas, with genital warts having the highest incidence and are highly contagious. HPV16, 18, 33 and other types are closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. The nucleic acid hybridization method can detect more than 60% of the HPvDNA positivity rate in cancer tissues. Bowenoid papulosis (mainly types 39 and 42), etc.

The above is the relevant introduction to "HPV6 positive". Experts remind patients with genital warts that if they suffer from genital warts, they must not panic or take treatment measures blindly. They must choose a regular hospital and adopt the best treatment method under the advice of experts to avoid making the condition worse due to wrong treatment methods.

The severity of having a low-risk HPV6 positive:

1. If it is a female, the affected area is in the vagina and cervix. There will be a foul odor from the lower body and a lot of secretions, especially in hot seasons. Some patients even dare not go out.

2. You feel that others will look at you strangely, as if you have done something shameful. You are afraid to face the crowd, which has a certain impact on your work and life.

3. Some patients delay treatment due to shyness or cost issues, and giving up treatment increases the difficulty of later treatment.

4. Genital warts are different from ordinary acne. If you do not treat the warts for a long time, they will continue to grow larger and become giant warts, even covering the previously normal organs.

Patients must not avoid going to the hospital for treatment due to face issues, or buy medicine for treatment on their own. At present, although medicine is relatively developed, there is no Western medicine for HPV6-positive warts, especially for patients with warts in the anus, vagina, and cervix. They have no way to treat it themselves. In other words, having genital warts is not necessarily caused by unclean sexual life. There are other ways, such as smoke transmission and indirect transmission (the affected area is damaged and thus comes into contact with objects containing the virus), etc. These are all possible. It is also very important to maintain a happy mood.
