How to treat high-risk HPV infection

When facing a high-risk HPV infection, professional medical guidance is crucial. Doctors may recommend topical antiviral ointments, such as acyclovir cream or ganciclovir cream, which help suppress viral replication and alleviate symptoms. If medication proves ineffective, physicians might consider physical treatments such as microwave therapy or laser therapy. These approaches use specific physical methods to directly target infected areas, destroying lesions so they necrotize and slough off, thereby creating conditions for the growth of new tissue. If a high-risk HPV infection progresses to cervical cancer, more aggressive treatments—such as total hysterectomy—may be necessary to ensure the patient's life safety.
