What are the dangers of HPV infection in the mouth? The HPV virus does not only harm the reproductive parts of the human body as many people think. It can be said that as long as the HPV virus is accidentally touched, it will cause symptoms of HPV infection in the contacted parts of the human body. Therefore, it is not surprising that HPV infection occurs in the human mouth. So, what harm will happen if the HPV virus is infected in the mouth?

Oral warts are mainly transmitted through oral sex. If people have ever had oral sex with someone who happens to be infected with genital warts, there is a chance of infection. This is because the above behaviors will cause local congestion and a decrease in resistance, which will give the virus an opportunity to take advantage and cause infection.

1. Ulcers and bleeding: As the lesions grow larger and more numerous, they may cause local foreign body sensations and discomfort. The oral cavity is susceptible to microbial infection, which can lead to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain and swelling at the site of the disease. Oral condyloma acuminatum not only causes bleeding and injury when touched, making it impossible to swallow and chew normally, but also makes the patient look ugly.

2. Endangering the throat: Mainly because the oral environment is rather special and moist, which is suitable for the growth of genital warts. If the disease is severely ulcerated, it will lead to worsening of the condition and even spread to the throat if not treated.

3. Affecting the patient's normal life and work. Genital warts grow in the mouth, which first brings difficulties to the patient's eating. It also affects the patient's family and even causes family breakdown.

4. Canceration: Malignant tumor is the most serious complication of genital warts. Early and thorough treatment is the most effective way to prevent genital warts from becoming cancerous.

5. Bring heavy psychological pressure to patients: In the eyes of many people, genital warts are a shameful sexually transmitted disease. After being infected with genital warts, patients often experience great psychological pressure, are unwilling to communicate with others, and even suffer from depression in severe cases.
