What is HPV?
Genital Papillomavirus infection is a sexually transmitted infection (IPP).Papillomavirus infection is a derivative agent Human Papilloma viruses (HPV).Human Papilloma viruses, a group of viruses that entered about 100 different types.Anusing sexual transmission, gender bodies and women and men of more than 30 HPV are infected.
Infected people do not know about the disease, there are no clinical manifestations, and moreover, they can restore spontaneously.
Some of these viruses are called "high carcinogenic risk viruses", they can also lead to lesions of complex genitals.Recent studies have confirmed the main role of HPV in the development of cervical cancer.HPV is also a role in the formation of penis cancer in vulva cancer, vulva cancer and men in women.These types of high risk viruses 16, 18, 31, 33, 33, 39, 56, 56, 52, 56, 68, 69 - This type of HPV is responsible for 95-98% of cervical cancer.They cause abnormal cells, it is almost invisible during the usual examination compared to benign warts where risk viruses are low risk viruses - 6, 11 species.Benigign Anogenital warts appear from infection to 6 to 6 months.HPV is divided into years of expanding for the development of the forecast or cancerous changes in the high risk of high risk and is often a spontaneous treatment for HPV.
The infection is from 15 to 40 years old and affects the same women and men.About 80 percent of women in 50 years will receive a HPV infection.
About 50-75% of sexually active people are infected with HPV in their lives, and in most cases, infection does not cause a disease and are spontaneously treated.
About 90% of people infected with HIV also have a HPV infection.
How HPV is transmitted
The human papillomas infection is transmitted to sex.Most of the infected do not have visible manifestations of the disease, and therefore HPV carriers do not know about their infection and infect their sexual partners.Sometimes an infected mother can be infected with a newborn in childbirth.This can lead to langs of newborns.
Manifestations of infection
Most infected people do not know about it.HPV often does not create any manifestations in the skin and mucous membranes.Part of people occurs in cervicals, vulva, anal area or penis, sexy or prosecutor changes.Very rare, these changes are going directly to cancer.The development of heavy dysplasia from infection, an average of 20 years.Most women are spontaneously treated from the moment of infection within 9-15 months.The main manifestation of the papillomavirus infection is sexual warts (VPV 6 and 11) - a short thin foot, colored cabbage or cock, penis, lips, vagina, uterus, the neck of the anus.Acute condoms appear 2-6 months after infection.The examiners visible during the examination are detected.
Diagnosis of infection
Criminal diagnosis is carried out on the basis of verification.The diagnosis of the high camphogene risk and related changes in HPV is a harder work.The diagnosis of progunicating diseases based on many basis, was based on a cytological analysis of smear's sitological analysis (a microscope under a microscope).However, a number of significant shortcomings - complexity, low sensitivity and uncertain results are high frequency.The American Committee FDA (Medicinal and Food Committee) has approved HPV's work by polymerase chain reaction, which can determine the high risk of HPV HPV.PCR for HPV has high sensitivity, easy to execute.The joint use of cytological works and PCR tests can significantly increase the effectiveness of diagnosis, sensitivity increases to 99 to 100%.It is important to determine the high risk of HPV, the appearance of delicate changes in the mucous membranes.
PCR research is recommended in High -Risk HPV:
- - As a key method in addition to cytology for more than 30 years.
- - to resolve the suspicious results of sitological studies.
- - Patients who take treatment for dysplasia or cancer.
- - Papillomavirus in the first stage of diagnostics for the poorly organized infection programs.
- - For men's examination.
Is it possible to treat this disease?
The diagnosis and treatment of the Stis should be carried out in a special clinical setting - a CVD that has all the necessary means for a quick and accurate diagnosis.
There is no special drug against HPV today.There are many methods of removing the condon, but the disease can return again because the virus remains in the human body.Relapse is possible in 25% of the work within 3 months after treatment.It is necessary to investigate sexual partners in the treatment of crime.However, the vast majority of sexual partners are infected with HPV and are not only visible manifestations of the disease.
The treatment of careless diseases is the use of chemicals, physical and other methods for the use of the most affected areas of the mucous membranes, as well as the use of medicines that stimulate immunity.In the future, annual cytological research and HPV determination is necessary by PCR.
What is the connection between HPV and cervical cancer?
Facts only:
- High-risk papillomas viruses are the main cause of cervical cancer.
- Severe dysplasy (Protanser) and cereal cancer, about 100% of HPV.
- Identification of HPV is associated with a 250-fold increase in severe dysplasia.
- Cervical cancer ranks 1st among the reasons for women's death in developing countries.
- Cervical cancer, every year, ranks 2nd after breast cancer among women in the world.
- Every year in Russia, 12,300 women are cervical cancer and more than 6,000 patients die every year.
- The average age of patients in the last 10 years decreased by 58 to 55 years.
- In women under 29, the incident increased twice.
- HPV high risk, in 100% of cervical cancer, 90% of anus cancer, vaginal cancer and vulva, penis cancer - 40%, 40% and orofarynx cancer are in 12% of the occasion.
- The American Cancer Society was projected in 2004, which will develop the aggressive cervical cancer of about 10,520 women and about 3,900 women will die from this disease.Most women with aggressive cervical cancer were not examined for HPV infection.
Prevention of infection
The highest way to prevent sexual HPV infection is to refrain from any sexual contact with another person.
For a long time sexual relationship with a permanent sex partner does not guarantee 100% of the HPV infection.Without special tests, it is difficult to determine whether the sexual partner is currently infected.
Men's condoms from latex reduce the risk of infection using proper use.
Urine, an unusual rash, such as pain or unpleasant feelings during the discharge, is a signal to stop sexual connections and immediately examine in a special clinic.If the patient is found by the Stis, he must inform their sexual partners to take full examination and appropriate treatment.This will reduce the risk of serious complications and prevent it from being on the Internet.
