Introduction
HPV stands for human papillomavirus. In general, low-grade HPV lesions are not very serious and require regular follow-up examinations and active treatment. If a woman is diagnosed with cervical low-grade lesions following a biopsy under colposcopy, the condition is usually not severe. During this period, sexual activity should be avoided as much as possible, personal hygiene should be maintained, and daily routines should include adequate rest, balanced diet, and moderate exercise to enhance the body's immunity.

If a woman is diagnosed with cervical low-grade lesions following a biopsy under colposcopy, the condition is usually not severe. Approximately 60% of cervical low-grade lesions can spontaneously regress and resolve. However, since high-risk types of HPV infection may be present at this stage, local vaginal medication is typically required after diagnosis to clear the HPV infection. Only after HPV becomes negative does the likelihood of spontaneous recovery from low-grade cervical lesions significantly increase. If HPV persists and does not clear, the cervical lesion may progress to moderate or even high-grade lesions, potentially requiring surgical treatment such as cervical conization.
When low-grade HPV lesions are detected, it is important to promptly undergo cytological screening, colposcopy, and pathological diagnosis. The exact condition should be clearly identified through these tests before determining further management. During this period, sexual activity should be avoided as much as possible, personal hygiene should be maintained, and a healthy lifestyle—including regular sleep patterns, balanced diet, and moderate exercise—should be adopted to enhance immune function.
