Can HPV be detected by blood test?

HPV is a disease called genital warts, which is a skin disease and is particularly prone to appear in the human sexual organs. To face this disease, people need to actively understand it and take effective measures to treat it. Examination is a particularly important part. In people's daily lives, it is very common to conduct blood tests. So can HPV be detected by blood test? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Genital warts may not be detected through blood tests, but they can be detected after the disease occurs, as there is no genital warts virus in the blood. Genital warts are local lesions. The virus only exists under the local skin and mucous membranes. Doctors with obvious symptoms can generally make a diagnosis with the naked eye. There are many treatment methods, but local external medication is the main treatment. Generally, systemic treatments such as oral administration, intramuscular injection and infusion are not required. Physical therapies such as laser and freezing have a high recurrence rate and are best not used.

Things to note when you have HPV:

(1) Don’t stay up too late

The recurrence of genital warts is closely related to one’s own immunity. Currently, most treatments involve removing warts through medication or surgery. However, one still needs to rely on one’s own immunity to eliminate the HPV virus. Staying up late not only makes people feel bad, but also causes the decline of various body functions and reduces personal immunity. The HPV virus reproduces fastest and is most likely to recur when your immune resistance is at its lowest.

(2) Sleeping position

Patients should sleep in a supine position with their legs naturally apart to avoid rubbing the warts on the affected area, especially right after surgery or after applying medication.

(3) Do not have sexual relations

Genital warts are a disease that is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse. If you have sexual intercourse with others during treatment, it can be easily transmitted to others through friction, which can also worsen your condition. Sexual intercourse is not allowed during the treatment of genital warts and for 6 months after the warts have subsided. Sexual intercourse can be had 8 months after the warts have subsided, with proper safety measures, but the frequency should also be controlled.
