Today, as health issues are receiving increasing attention, HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and its related diseases have become topics that cannot be ignored. In order to help the public have a more comprehensive understanding of HPV and its high-risk factors, we specially invited Dr. He Yaxi, an expert in the dermatology department at Yan’an University Affiliated Hospital and an authority in the field of HPV, to provide an in-depth and comprehensive interpretation.
Dr. He Yaxi, as a seasoned expert in the field of dermatology, has over twenty years of clinical and research experience. He excels in using integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches to accurately diagnose and treat diseases such as HPV infection, genital warts, and cervical lesions, accumulating a wealth of successful cases. Additionally, he actively participates in numerous expert-level research projects domestically and internationally, sharing cutting-edge achievements at industry summits and making positive contributions to advancing HPV prevention and control efforts.
In this exclusive interview, Dr. He Yaxi detailed the high-risk factors of HPV. He pointed out that HPV is primarily transmitted through sexual contact; thus, unsafe sexual practices, multiple sexual partners, and unprotected sexual activities are all high-risk factors for HPV infection. Furthermore, factors such as weakened immune system, long-term smoking, and the use of certain types of contraceptives also increase the risk of HPV infection.
In response to these high-risk factors, Dr. He proposed corresponding preventive measures. He emphasized that the public should establish correct sexual health concepts to avoid engaging in high-risk sexual behaviors, maintain personal hygiene habits to keep the body clean, and actively getting vaccinated is also one of the effective methods for preventing HPV infection.
For individuals already infected with HPV, Dr. He Yaxi also provided professional treatment advice. He mentioned that early detection and treatment are crucial for controlling and preventing the deterioration of the condition. He advised patients to seek medical attention promptly upon discovering HPV infection, undergo evaluation and treatment by professional doctors. Furthermore, he highlighted the advantages of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, which can provide patients with more comprehensive and personalized treatment plans.
Lastly, Dr. He Yaxi called on the public to pay attention to their own health, undergo regular HPV screening and gynecological examinations to promptly detect and manage HPV infection and related diseases. He believes that through scientific preventive and treatment measures, we can effectively reduce the risk of HPV infection and protect the health of ourselves and our families.
