Brief Answer:
High risk HPV
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for choosing healthcare magic for your query.
I have gone through your query and I understand your worry as you have recently become a mother.
I would like to give you few details about
Human papilloma virus (HPV) and then I will answer each of your questions.
HPV is a virus which most commonly causes
warts. It is a
DNA virus and it can be divided into more than 100 types based on this DNA.
These types are called genotypes or antigenic types. Each antigenic type is given a number like 1,2,3 and so on.
This infection is most commonly spread by direct contact, or sexual contact.
This virus has affinity for cells present in skin and mucous membranes.
The lesions caused by HPV are listed below with the HPV types causing them:
1. Common wart- 2,4,7
2. Deep plantar wart- 1,4
3. Flat or plane wart- 3,10
4. Genital wart- 6,11
5. Flat condylomata and/with intraepithelial neoplasia - 16,18,31,33
The ones causing intrepithelial neoplasia are the high risk types of HPV.
Coming to the answers to your queries:
1. There are less chances of transmission of the virus to the baby during delivery. Even if they get infected, that infection clears by itself.
2. Transmission by breast milk is also very low.
3. You will not spread the virus to your baby by kissing. But you can give it to your partner as sexually-transmitted HPV viruses are spread through contact with infected genital skin, mucous membranes, or bodily fluids, and can be passed through intercourse and
oral sex.
4. You can have a normal sexual life after you have been treated for the HPV effectively.
For now, I suggest you get the
colposcopy done.
High risk HPV has to be confirmed by histopathology testing of cervical tissue for any dysplastic changes.
There are many treatment options available like
Cryotherapy, Conization , LEEP etc.
These options can be discussed with your treating doctor based on the colposcopy and histopathology report.
I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Please get back if any more clarifications.
Thanks
