 Dr.
Kobren is a specialist in HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears
Infection
with HPV (human papillomavirus) is very common. About 20
million people in the U.S. are affected. About 30 of the
100 HPV types are transmitted sexually. This HPV transmission
can cause genital warts or abnormal cell changes in the cervix
and other genital areas that can lead to cancer.
While there
is no cure for HPV, the good news is the infection often
clears on its own. If it does not, and treatment is needed,
there are many HPV treatment options. Plus, as more people
are vaccinated with the new HPV vaccines, the rates of HPV
infection may be greatly reduced.
For now, HPV treatment focuses
on treating the symptoms of the infection. Symptoms include
genital warts associated with low-risk HPV types (which don't
generally lead to cancers) and the precancerous changes sometimes
associated with the high-risk types of HPV. |
