Having a new life is considered happy for expectant mothers, but their immune system may weaken during pregnancy, which can easily lead to reproductive system diseases. If expectant mothers do not receive timely treatment for these gynecological diseases, their health will be compromised. So, can HPV positivity affect the fetus?
HPV positivity indicates infection with human papillomavirus during pregnancy, which is a common phenomenon among women of childbearing age. In most cases, HPV positivity is transient, which means that the virus can be cleared through one's own immune system and generally does not cause serious consequences. If HPV positive occurs during pregnancy, pregnant women should not worry as the impact on the fetus is not significant. Regular check ups are sufficient.
Although HPV positivity during pregnancy has little impact on the fetus, it may have some influence on the mode of delivery. Because the process of vaginal delivery may lead to the fetus being infected with HPV, in order to avoid affecting the health of the fetus, it is recommended that pregnant women choose cesarean section according to the situation during delivery.
The phenomenon of HPV positivity during pregnancy should not be taken too lightly. After normal delivery, it is necessary to actively undergo cervical biopsy to avoid timely detection of cervical cancer. If cervical biopsy reveals lesions in cervical tissue, timely treatment is necessary to prevent the condition from worsening and affecting one's own life safety.
