Info about HPV?

Question

Can HPV cause women to get more bacterial infections or yeast infections?

Answer 1

Not that I have ever heard of. some strands cause different things though... some strands can cause warts/cervical cancer others only cause one or the other and some no symptoms at all. There are currently over 100 different strands of HPV so anything is possible. However it is most likely a different source that is causeing it. After getting one cleared up watch what you eat, drink, how you wipe... ect. Some foods may aid in a yeast infection and if you can pin point it then you may be able to avoid them better. Wipeing the wrong way (back to front) can cause bacteria to get in places you don't want it! Your or a guys dirty hand can aid this as well, getting bacteria in places you want to avoid getting it. Make sure you are cleaning your area well too getting in all the nooks and what not.There is also just the possiblility that you are prone to them more then others. It is always best to ask your doctor for advice more personalized for you. Hope you can get it under control! Good luck!

Answer 2

I have never of heard of this. There are so many forms of HPV that it's possible. I read that if you have HPV that actually causes genital warts, then it's not the same strand that causes cervical cancer. So, there are many different types. Bacterial infections I would say has nothing to do with HPV.

Answer 3

No. The vast majority of women never know they're infected until they either have external symptoms in the form of venereal warts or they have an abnormal pap smear result.

Yeast infections are typically caused by hormonal imbalances or douching or dietary complications or a lack of cleanliness.

Answer 4

I haven't heard that specific relationship. Diet certainly can though.
