HPV, the silent killer of women

Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, as is known, is much more widespread than many think. It is estimated that about 80% or more of the female population of some form of HPV by the time they reach old age is one of 50.

However, the real question is whether these women know they have and this is increasingly important that lethal strains of these women is possible, it is prone to lead to cancer if left to the virusuntreated.

There are over 100 types of HPV known and of these 30 can be sexually transmitted. Today the United States by the CDC to produce ads that contain the word that women should be tested for HPV to reduce the risk of contracting cervical cancer, HPV is spread if left untreated.

However, we must also remember that most forms of HPV, in fact harmless and then go on their own without treatment was not necessary. But a womanTest is positive, and again for HPV, then this is where to start problems and worries. Unfortunately, most of the time, the form of genital HPV infection goes unnoticed because it is primarily a symptom less virus, which causes no alarm bells in the person who gave them in order, and unfortunately does not get you a ring doctor.

However, sometimes a woman may find that small bumps in her genital area and may also be a sign of the virus. NormallyBumps HPV are like small, fleshy, pink wart like bumps. The only way to others if the quest for HPV has a wife who is a Pap test. Making sure that a woman has a Pap smear test regularly, this will help prevent cervical cancers caused by HPV, also. An abnormal Pap test will show that a woman has HPV and can be treated and reduce the risk of developing cancer of the cervix.

Now we have made further progress in the treatmentHPV, one of which is a vaccine, immunization, they say, is helping to stop some types of viruses. It 'been a great discovery for the medical world, especially since it is estimated that about half of diagnosed cases of cervical cancer has been to have a certain strain or strains of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) are linked.

Although vaccination is still considered an experimental stage, and many committees are still moral and ethical debatewhether this vaccine should be administered to young girls when they are available for general use of the public are not yet complete.

But the fact remains that the deadly strain of HPV causes about fifty percent of all cervical cancers, which were found over the years, and there is a strong argument that this vaccine to all who require it must be provided. But in any case is always an emotional topic for discussion and debate from all sides.But unfortunately, the vaccine is not foolproof, and women should continue at regular intervals to all forms of harmful strains of HPV, as the vaccine does not protect against every strain of the virus in fact, that may be an abnormal cell growth in the matter will be tested a woman and thus lead to cancer.

E 'was estimated that approximately 15,000 women annually diagnosed with cervical cancer and more than 4,000 die each year from the disease. But it is hoped that with the newNow showing on television in the United States and the women will show more aware of the importance of regular Pap tests, and the United States should at least be the way all women are aware of the country, this disease is silent and deadly for the future.
