HPV Diagnosis

HPV infection can be detected through laboratory tests, including:

• Pap Smear (Pap Test) – Screens for cervical cell abnormalities.
• HPV DNA Test – Identifies high-risk HPV strains.
• These tests are part of routine gynecological check-ups.

Prevention

Apart from vaccination, practicing safe sex (including the use of condoms) can help reduce the risk of HPV transmission. Regular screenings and early detection are essential for preventing HPV-related cancers.

It is important to note that most people with HPV do not develop symptoms and can naturally clear the infection on their own. However, in some cases, the virus may persist and lead to health complications.

Key prevention strategies include:

• Regular screenings & gynecological check-ups
• HPV vaccination
• Safe sexual practices
• Avoiding smoking
• Maintaining a healthy diet & lifestyle

HPV Monitoring & Treatment

If abnormalities are detected through a Pap test or HPV test, further diagnostic procedures may be recommended, such as:

• Colposcopy – A closer examination of the cervix to detect abnormal cells.
• Biopsy or additional testing if necessary.

Early detection of HPV-related abnormalities allows for timely intervention and treatment, reducing the risk of cervical cancer and other complications.
