Can cervical HPV positivity be cured?

Generally, whether cervical HPV positive can be cured mainly depends on the type of HPV infection and the severity of the condition. If it is a low-risk HPV infection, it is usually curable; however, if it is a high-risk HPV infection, it may be more difficult to cure. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If infected with low-risk HPV, diseases such as common warts, genital warts, or flat warts may occur, and the condition is usually mild. At this stage, with active treatment such as medication or physical therapy, the condition can generally be cured.

However, if infected with high-risk HPV and the condition has progressed to an advanced stage with diseases such as cervical cancer, rectal cancer, or anal cancer, or if the virus has spread to other organs or tissues, the difficulty of treatment significantly increases, and a complete cure might not be possible.

HPV positive cases can recur; therefore, patients need to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, enhance immunity, and undergo regular follow-up examinations during and after treatment to promptly detect and manage any recurrence.
