Introduction
Whether HPV can become negative after cervical conization depends on the specific circumstances of the surgery and the disease. If the lesion is localized and completely removed, HPV may turn negative; however, if the lesion is extensive or not entirely excised, the chance of becoming HPV-negative is lower. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and getting adequate rest can help enhance the body's immunity and fight HPV infection.
Generally, whether HPV can become negative after cervical conization depends on the specific circumstances of the surgery and the disease condition. If the lesion is localized and completely removed, HPV may become negative. However, if the lesion is extensive or not completely excised, the chance of HPV becoming negative is lower. If you experience any discomfort, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention. Detailed analysis as follows:
When cervical lesions are localized and the surgeon is able to completely remove the affected tissue during cervical conization—including potentially HPV-infected cells—the chance of HPV becoming negative after surgery will be relatively higher. Since HPV virus mainly resides in the affected cervical cells, once these cells are thoroughly removed, the virus will also be cleared, thus making HPV negativity possible.
If cervical lesions are extensive or the affected tissue is not completely removed during cervical conization, the chance of HPV becoming negative after surgery will be relatively lower. This is because residual affected cells may still contain HPV virus, which can continue to replicate and spread within the body, leading to persistent HPV infection.
In daily life, maintaining good lifestyle habits and getting adequate rest can help enhance your immune system to fight against HPV infection.
