HPV Symptoms

Introduction Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common cancer in women in Sub-Saharan Africa. 1 Its prevalence can be efficiently reduced by preventive HPV vaccination for certain hr-HPV genotypes and by having regular screenings to find clinically relevant pre-cancerous lesions followed by surgical removal. 2 The World Health Organization (WHO) proposes a global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer through the 90-70-90 targets for 2030 (ie, vaccinating 90% of girls by age 15, screening 70% of women with high-performance tests by 35 and 45 years of age, and treating and/or manage 90% of women who tested positive for pre-cancer and invasive cancer). Thus, population-based screening remains important for both the vaccinated and more so the non-vaccinated population. 3 In Ethiopia, the coverage of cytology-based cervical cancer screening is very low and it was estimated 1.6% and 0.4% in urban and rural areas, respectively. 4 This is mainly due to the lack of gynecologists and path...

ReportLinker Herpes simplex virus (HSV), also known as herpes, is a widespread infection worldwide. HSV-1 causes infection in or around the mouth (oral herpes), but it can also cause genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) causes genital herpes, a dangerous sexually transmitted infection (STI). New York, July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Genital Herpes Treatment Market - Global Outlook and Forecast 2022-2027" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06310512/?utm_source=GNW The genitals of those who have genital herpes develop painful blisters. Blisters can form on the anus or inside it. Oral and vaginal herpes is usually asymptomatic or unnoticed, but they can cause painful blisters or ulcers at the injection site, ranging from mild to severe. The infection is permanent, and symptoms might repeat for years. The World Health Organization estimates that 20% of people living with HIV / AIDS are in their 20s and that 1 in ...

The term "women" is used in this article to refer to people who identify as female and have the typical reproductive organs of a cisgender woman. We recognize that some people who identify as women do not have the same anatomy as that depicted in this article. A sexually transmitted disease (STD) is a symptomatic infection that is spread primarily through sexual contact. Women can experience different STD symptoms than men. Knowing the signs that may indicate an infection can help you seek medical care and appropriate treatment. Read on to learn about the common symptoms of STDs in women, as well as information on treatment and prevention. Fuse / Getty Images STD Causes The three types of pathogens (organisms that cause infection) that are often sexually transmitted are: A person who is infected with one of these pathogens can transmit it to another person during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. However, some can also be spread ...

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It causes an itchy, painful skin rash that primarily affects adults over age 50 . That said, any adult or child who has previously had chickenpox may develop shingles if the virus is reactivated. Children are 10 times less likely to develop shingles than adults over age 60 . The following groups may be at a higher risk : people who are immunocompromised individuals who are taking medications to suppress the immune system people who had chickenpox as infants Shingles is caused by a reactivation of VZV. This means that for a child to get shingles, they must have previously had the chickenpox virus, or, less commonly , had the chickenpox vaccine. Shingles cannot occur without prior exposure to VZV. The first time somebody is exposed to this virus, that person will develop chickenpox and not shingles. The inactive virus stays inside the body, specifically in the nerve cells, after the c...

Introduction Verruca plantaris (plantar wart) is a type of benign epithelial hyperplasia that is caused by a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and affects 7% to 10% of the global population. Plantar warts are characterized by the benign proliferation of epithelial cells on the feet and are typically caused by infection with HPV type 1. 1 Asymptomatic infection with HPV occurs frequently, however most infections are controlled or cleared by cellular and humoral immune responses. Certain patient populations manifest plantar warts at a higher rate and hence require a more active treatment plan. 2 There are several clinical treatments available for Verrucae plantaris such as microwave therapy, CO 2 laser therapy, liquid nitrogen phytotherapy, surgical excision, photodynamic therapy, Candida albicans immunotherapy, podophyllotoxin, and salicylic acid therapy. 3,4 However, the side effects associated with the treatment plan for disease recurrence prevention are not ideal. 5 Ca...
