hi and very pleased to answer you
Patients with IUD have 50% less cervical cancers report the Lancet (UK medical journal). The results published in the Lancet are really very important: in the first year, the simple IUD would reduce the risk of cervical cancer by half and this protective effect would be valid even after 10 years of use. To try to understand this important anticancer effect, the researchers checked whether the IUD could have an inhibitory effect on papilloma virus infection, the virus responsible for this cancer. They had to find out that no, the IUD did not change the probability of infection with the virus. The hypothesis is therefore that IUD ACT with a small local anti-inflammatory effect that opposes the development of tumor cells.
To answer you about IUD in women with papilloma virus infection, yes we can use it, and the device will prevent this patients with papilloma virus infection from cervical cancer.

In the vast majority of cases, immunity induced in response to infection with HPV makes it possible to spontaneously eradicate the virus. The time required for the disappearance of HPV is called clearance time. At one year, HPV is eliminated three times out of four. As the clearance time increases, the risk of persisting infection increases. This time is longer in women with carcinogenic HPV 16 and 18.
On the other hand, immunocompromised persons are less likely to eliminate papillomavirus, which explains the susceptibility of people living with HIV to HPV cancers (cervical cancer in women, anal cancer in men).

Condylomas are treated with creams that destroy lesions or stimulate local immunity, or are suppressed by various methods (cryotherapy, laser, electrocoagulation, surgical excision).
In 25-40% of cases, HPV remains on healthy skin around the lesions resulting in a fairly high rate of recurrence.

The removal of the CIN or dysplasia (In cases of cervical dysplasia, abnormal cells appear on the surface of the cervix) grades 2 and 3 is systematically performed, which makes it possible to eradicate the lesion permanently in 95% of the cases. This indicates the importance of early detection at this stage of the disease.


best wishes.
