Symptoms of HPV
According to the CDC, more than 90% of HPV infections do not need any specific treatment, and they go away on their own within two years. Genital warts and throat warts, also known as respiratory papillomatosis, may pose severe health problems. Human papillomavirus can cause genital, neck, throat, and head cancer.
There are no specific symptoms related to the cancers caused by HPV until the last stage of cancerous growth. This can be diagnosed by regular screening to detect early. It will help you to increase your chances of survival. Initially, HPV infection does not show any visible symptoms. In some cases, warts may develop weeks, months, or years after the infection.
The type of warts you will get depends upon the variant of HPV you will get infected with.
