What is HPV?

HPV is a group of viruses that can cause warts on different body parts, in some cases, cancer. It is important to note that not all types of HPV cause cancer. In fact, most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems.

HPV during pregnancy

Although having HPV does not necessarily complicate pregnancy, it is vital to be informed. Some studies suggest that HPV may increase the risk of certain complications, such as preterm labor. However, most women with HPV have normal pregnancies and give birth to healthy babies.

Can HPV be transmitted to the baby?

It is rare, but it is possible. Transmission of HPV from mother to child during childbirth is rare. If it happens, the baby can develop warts, for this, it is necessary to talk to your doctor if you have HPV to take precautions.

How to protect yourself from HPV?

The HPV vaccine is the best way to protect yourself. If you're already pregnant, talk to your doctor about your options. If you're not already, consider getting vaccinated before trying to conceive.
