Are HPV Outbreaks Due To Cholesterol Buildup?

Hi, I am a 34 yr old female....height 5'2, weight is 175...
I was diagnosed with HPV a few yrs ago and have been battleing outbreaks periodically ever since. Had an appointment today with my gynocologist, for what i thought was a breakout. However, she tells me that it is cholesterol buildup. Can you tell me more about this?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

HPV is the STDs or sexually transmitted infection.

It is caused by the human papilloma virus infection.

It has nothing to do with the cholesterol built up. Cholesterol is type of fat and can not cause STDs like HPV.

There is nothing a outbreak like in this condition.

So if you have HPV you should take the treatment as per the disease state and your clinical condition.

There are various treatment modalities available like imiquimod, cold laser, phenolic cauterisation. But all have merit and demerit as per the situation of the patients.

If your sexual partner have the same infection than avoid the sexual act till you are free from the infection. You can use the condom but better is to avoid the sex act.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
