Many women are not unfamiliar with HPV. In fact, it is commonly known as the human papillomavirus, which directly affects women's cervical health. Being infected with HPV can easily lead to cervical cancer. Therefore, most women will choose to go to the hospital for HPV testing after experiencing problems with their reproductive system. Can HPV positivity affect menstrual periods?
Positive HPV indicates infection with human papillomavirus, and it is important to observe changes in the cervix. However, HPV positivity does not affect changes in menstrual flow or cause changes in the menstrual cycle, so other tests need to be performed after a decrease in menstrual flow. The factors that can cause a decrease in menstrual flow are complex, with endocrine disorders being the most common, followed by endometrial lesions, which can also trigger this symptom.
Although HPV positivity has little impact on menstruation, we cannot be careless. Because being HPV positive is very dangerous, it indicates a high risk of developing cervical cancer. In order to timely understand changes in cervical health, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for regular check ups. Once cervical cancer is found, early intervention and treatment are necessary.
70% of women in China have been infected with HPV, but most women can clear the virus on their own after one or two years without causing serious complications. But if the body cannot eliminate the virus, then antiviral drugs need to be taken to suppress the virus and avoid cancer.
