What is HPV? Taking a deep breath together.
You just received an HPV diagnosis (or maybe you have had one for a while), and your mind is probably racing with questions. What exactly is HPV? How common is it? And most importantly – what does it mean for your health?
Let's take a deep breath and break it down together.
HPV: A Common Virus With a Big Impact
HPV, or human papillomavirus, is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. In fact, most people will contract at least one type of HPV in their lifetime.
There are many different types of HPV, and they're categorized by their risk level:
Low-Risk HPV: These types can cause genital warts but rarely lead to serious health problems.
High-Risk HPV: While less common, certain high-risk types can increase the risk of developing some cancers, including cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers.
The Good News: Your Body is Designed to Fight Back
Here's the truly empowering part: your body has a remarkable ability to clear HPV naturally. In fact, approximately 90% of people will clear the virus within the first two years without any intervention at all!
So, what influences whether HPV persists or resolves on its own?
That's where a holistic perspective becomes incredibly valuable. Factors like stress, diet, hormonal balance, and the health of your gut microbiome can all play a role in supporting or hindering your immune system's ability to effectively clear HPV.
