Introduction

In general, if a patient has successfully cleared a positive HPV16 result and turned negative, it is recommended to have a follow-up examination every 3 to 6 months. Follow-up typically includes tests such as TCT (thinprep cytologic test) and HPV testing. The timing of the patient's follow-up should be related to monitoring cervical morphology and recovery status, and must be determined according to the individual patient's condition. After recovery, patients should maintain a healthy sexual life and use proper protective measures.

Recheck every 3 to 6 months if HPV16-positive, although individual differences exist. Patients are advised to return to the hospital for timely follow-up examinations.

HPV16 refers to human papillomavirus type 16, which is classified as a high-risk type and may lead to genital cancers and cervical epithelial cell abnormalities. Long-term HPV16 infection in women may be associated with cervical cancer. Generally, after a patient has successfully cleared the HPV16 infection (turned negative), it is recommended to undergo reexamination approximately every 3 to 6 months. This typically involves tests such as TCT (thin-prep cytologic test) and HPV testing. The timing of follow-up should also consider the morphology and recovery status of the cervix, and decisions should be made based on the individual patient's condition.

After recovery, patients should maintain a healthy sexual life and use proper protective measures; engage in moderate exercise, such as jogging, swimming, or yoga; and maintain regular sleep patterns, avoiding late nights or excessive fatigue.
