Introduction
After infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), it is generally safe to take an appropriate amount of *Ganoderma lucidum* spore powder. Components such as polysaccharides and triterpenes found in *Ganoderma lucidum* may help enhance immunity, protect the liver, and provide certain benefits for individuals infected with HPV, potentially alleviating symptoms. Currently, there is also no evidence indicating that taking *Ganoderma lucidum* spore powder worsens the condition.

Generally speaking, HPV refers to human papillomavirus. After infection with human papillomavirus, patients can usually take Ganoderma lucidum spores powder under a doctor's guidance, but the dosage should be moderate. If symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Ganoderma lucidum spores powder is a traditional Chinese medicine; it is an oval reproductive cell formed during the mature growth stage of Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum spores powder contains components such as Ganoderma polysaccharides and Ganoderma triterpenes, which have functions including enhancing immunity, protecting the liver, and regulating blood lipids. It can provide certain benefits to individuals infected with human papillomavirus. Moreover, there is currently no evidence indicating that taking Ganoderma lucidum spores powder would worsen the infection or cause other discomforts. Therefore, after infection with human papillomavirus, patients can generally take Ganoderma lucidum spores powder as directed by a physician, but should maintain a moderate dosage to avoid excessive intake that could burden the gastrointestinal system.

Ganoderma lucidum spores powder may help alleviate symptoms of human papillomavirus infection to some extent, but it cannot provide a complete cure. Therefore, appropriate treatment methods should also be selected according to individual conditions. Additionally, personal hygiene and care should be emphasized during treatment to avoid cross-infection.
