There are several risk factors associated with HPV such as the number of sexual partners, weakened immune system, damaged skin, and personal contact. Pap test, colposcopy, and HPV DNA tests are majorly used to diagnose the HPV infection. Some common treatment methods to eliminate warts are cryosurgery, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), electrocautery, laser therapy, and prescription cream. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the current research on human papillomavirus infections.
