What methods does traditional Chinese medicine use to treat HPV virus infection?

In medicine, HPV refers to human papillomavirus, which is widely present in life. The reason why some people are infected and some are not is related to many factors, not just sexual life. In fact, being infected with HPV is not terrible. What is terrible is that you cannot find the correct treatment method. Simply using some folk remedies is definitely not a long-term solution. So, what are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to treat HPV virus infection?

Disease prevention

To date, the world has developed a preventive quadrivalent vaccine (HPV6, 11, 16, 18) that can prevent infection from these four types of viruses. Because most cervical cancers are caused by types 16 and 18, this can reduce most cervical cancers. Some scientific research has also shown that it has a certain degree of protection against other types. But the vaccine is not effective in preventing infection in people who are already infected. Circumcision of male foreskin is an important measure to prevent cervical cancer in women, and it is also an important measure to prevent men from contracting various sexually transmitted diseases. In some countries, circumcision of newborns and young children is a very good way to prevent HPV infection in adults and cervical cancer in spouses.
