What are the signs and symptoms of HPV infections?

Hello,

Welcome you to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. HPV (human papillomavirus) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It can occur on anogenital or oral mucosa or skin. HPV present in the birth canal can be transmitted to a newborn during vaginal delivery and it may persist for years in a dormant state and become infectious intermittently. The causative organism is the human papillomavirus. Genital HPV infections are transmitted primarily through sexual contact such as genital-to-genital, oral-to-genital, or genital-to-anal, but digital and perinatal transmission can also occur. The incubation period is several weeks to months. It is usually asymptomatic, single or multiple, soft, pink or whitish, sessile tumor (immobile) with fine papillary projections. It may bleed on friction or slight trauma. Female individuals, who have HPV infection, should get counseling about regular participation in cervical cytology screening programs. He or she should be encouraged to use barrier protection with new sexual contacts until successful treatment has been completed.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you.
