What symptoms does HPV cause in the throat? (Page 2 ) | August 1, 2025

How is HPV transmitted in the throat?

Oropharyngeal HPV is typically transmitted by oral-genital contact. Sexual penetration is not necessary for transmission to occur. It can also be spread by intense kissing in some situations.

Medical diagnosis.

Currently, there is no authorized standard test for detecting HPV in the throat. As a result, if you have any worrisome symptoms, you should seek medical attention. The diagnosis is made by:

• Physical Examination
• Biopsies on questionable tissue
• Imaging investigations, such as CT scans or MRIs, if cancer is suspected.

Existing treatments and solutions 

While HPV can resolve naturally in many people, if it causes issues such as warts or cancer, therapies include:

• Surgery involves the removal of visible tumors or lesions.
• Radiotherapy: used for advanced canc3r.
• Chemotherapy might be used with radiotherapy in more severe cases.
• Immune therapies are being investigated to activate the immune system to remove the pathogen.
• Furthermore, getting vaccinated against HPV is the most effective type of prevention. Available vaccines (such as Gardasil 9) protect against the HPV strains that are most commonly linked to cancer and warts.

How to prevent HPV infection in the throat?

• Early vaccination (preferably before the onset of s3xual activity).
• Use dental dams or condoms for oral s3x.
• Keep good oral health and schedule frequent dental visits.
• Excess tobacco and alcohol use increases the risk of HPV-related oropharyngeal canc3r.
