HPV Symptoms, Testing and Diagnosis - How to tell if your child has contracted HPV? It is a test for HPV that can detect strains of high-risk HPV DNA in cells of the body. But this test is not included in testing for STIs regularly because it is not widely available. Currently, the test is usually used only in rare circumstances, or when a doctor recommends it or when results of Pap smear of a woman are abnormal. Many parts of Canada do not test all and can not be covered by your insurance plan health, you may have to pay $ 90 to have it done.
It is likely that your child will get HPV during their lifetime, but he does not know and have absolutely no problem. Most of the time, HPV goes away on its own. Being infected with HPV does not mean that the infected person is ill. Most people who contracted HPV has no signs or symptoms.
However, there are certain types of HPV low risk that can cause genital warts, which can appear several weeks and sometimes months after sexual contact. In rare occasions the virus can persist, especially the types of high risk HPV, and can cause precancerous lesions and cancer. In girls who become sexually active, the Pap test is the most effective way to detect early signs of abnormalities and precancerous cells on the cervix.
Why is the Pap smear is important? - A young woman should undergo their first Pap test within three years after her first sexual contact, then every two years thereafter. The Pap test is the only way to detect abnormal cells in the cervix. Abnormal cells detected by the Pap test to your daughter may be a harbinger of cancer and the risk that they turn into cancer. We can treat the abnormal cells successfully at this stage because the progression to cancer takes many years, sometimes up to 10 years.
In women, the types of high risk HPV can infect cells of the vagina, vulva and cervix, or areas that are not seen. These lesions are considered a precancerous condition and can be detected by a test of Pao. A young girl who contracted the HPV types of high risk will not affect the cervical cancer, since it takes years to develop. If your daughter is undergoing her first Pap test within three years after his first sexual contact, and she submits to it regularly thereafter, abnormal cells will be detected by early screening.
