Human papilloma virus in pregnancy

-

More than 70% of the sexually active world population has at least one subtype of the human papilloma virus, HPV. In most cases, VHP infection disappears spontaneously, although in 10% of cases it can lead to cervical cancer.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Index

It is important to test women who have had several sexual partners, who are the most likely, to diagnose the virus beforehand, before the lesions and warts appear.

When can it appear?

HPV infection is more common during pregnancy because the immune system is weakened in pregnant women. However, in most women it will not be a complication.

Women who have a history of genital warts (condylomata) or positive HPV tests should talk to the gynecologist before they become pregnant to perform a control during the entire pregnancy.

There is a vaccine against some variants of the papilloma virus, but the Public Health Commission of the National Health System recommends not vaccinating pregnant women. Vaccination should therefore be prior to pregnancy.

HPV infection during childbirth

Pregnancy can cause new warts to appear and grow and develop quickly. However, they will disappear after childbirth as it is observed that a few weeks later they begin to disappear on their own.

It is unlikely that the virus causes problems in pregnancy, although there is a small risk that the mother can spread the virus to the baby during delivery.

The baby can swallow some vaginal cells that contain the papillomavirus during delivery and may affect the vocal cords of the newborn. Most often, the organism eradicates the virus and has no consequences.

Women who have HPV can have normal vaginal deliveries, but those with a large number of warts that clog the vagina can have a cesarean delivery.

According to the latest report of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), in 2016 were carried out 138,553 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and 36,463 cycles of artificial insemination (AI), which resulted in a total of 37,503 babies born . This represents an increase of 8% in the use of assisted reproduction techniques with respect to the previous year, which shows that more and more couples need help to have the opportunity to become parents. After a year of sexual intercourse without achieving pregnancy, a couple is considered to have sterility problems, so it is advisable to start doing diagnostic tests and determine the most appropriate assisted reproduction treatment in each case, as we will discuss throughout this post.
