Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a group of 200 types of viruses- both high risk and low risk.

Infection with high-risk types is common and can cause ge***al warts or cancer.

In 90% of people the body eliminates the infection by itself.

Persistent HPV infection with high-risk HPV types causes cervical cancer and is also associated with cancers of the v***a, va**na, mouth/throat, p***s and a**s.

Prophylactic vaccination with HPV vaccine can prevent these cancers.

HPV-screening using PAP smear and HPV DNA virus testing can help in detecting the pre cancer changes very early and treatment of these pre-cancer lesions is an effective way to prevent cervical cancer.

Most of the endometrial (uterine)polyps are benign(non-dangerous).
Very small polyps may resolve on their own but removal of a polyp is recommended when:
*the polyp is large
*the polyp is causing symptoms- heavy or irregular menstrual
bleeding
*there is risk of polyp becoming cancerous- post menopausal
women, women on hormone replacement therapy, women on
tamoxifen for treatment of breast cancer
*the polyp is causing infertility
*the woman is in menopausal age group where the chance of
polyp being cancerous is high.

Surgical removal of a polyp and biopsy(Histopathological examination) of the removed polyp will help in further treatment process.

Uterine or endometrial polyps often cause abnormal uterine bleeding like:
* irregular menstrual cycles
* heavy menstrual flow
* bleeding between periods
* occasionally bleeding after in*******se and
* postmenopausal bleeding.

Diagnosis is by:
*A gynaecological examination
*pelvic ultrasound and
*hysteroscopy (a procedure to visualise inside of the uterus) may be used to diagnose uterine polyps.

Treatment - depends on the symptoms and other factors that increase the risk of uterine cancer.
If the polyp isn’t causing symptoms and if the size of the polyp is small, it may be monitored instead of immediate removal.
If the polyps are causing symptoms, treatment is advised at the earliest.

Uterine polyps or polypoid endometrium can have a negative impact on a woman’s reproductive journey.

* For successful attachment and implantation, a fertilized egg needs a healthy uterine lining.
Uterine polyps create an environment which can be unfavorable for the embryo to implant properly causing recurring implantation failure.
*Uterine polyps increase the risk of miscarriage by disturbing the development of the placenta and affecting the blood supply to the embryo.
*Uterine polyps can cause difficulties in conception and achieving pregnancy by obstructing the fallopian tubes or by disrupting the movement of s***m, there by affecting fertilization.

Treatment of menorrhagia depends on the underlying cause for heavy bleeding.

Occasionally, menorrhagia gets better without any treatment (when the cause is due to mild hormonal fluctuations or overweight or obesity), following lifestyle changes and reaching a healthy weight.

Medications are used before going for surgical procedures.

Dermoid Cyst of O***y:

*It is a benign or noncancerous cyst of the ovaries.
*It is a fluid-filled sac that contains tissues such as teeth, skin, hair, and fat.
*It grows slowly and not tender unless ruptured.
*It usually develops in a woman during their reproductive years. *It can cause torsion, infection, rupture, and rarely cancer.

These dermoid cysts can be removed with either laparoscopy (surgery that uses small incisions and specially designed instruments to enter the abdomen or pelvis) or by conventional surgery if the cysts are too big.

Beginning of transition of a child's body into an adult's body (Puberty) too soon(before the age of eight), is known as premature puberty or precocious puberty.

Puberty typically starts after the age of eight in girls.

Bones and muscles expand rapidly, bodies fluctuate in size and form, secondary sexual characters like body hair growth and breast bud development begin and there may be an early onset of menstruation.

Precocious puberty is frequently encountered due to increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyle.
Precocious puberty can be brought on by specific illnesses, such as infections, hormone problems, tumours, brain traumas, or accidents.

Evaluating and treating the underlying cause helps to postpone some of the puberty changes.
