Abstract
This study examines the clinical significance of Human Papillomavirus infection in women of reproductive age and evaluates modern approaches to its prevention. The study included 40 women who underwent clinical, laboratory, and screening assessment.
Particular attention was paid to the clinical manifestations of infection, identification of high-risk viral types, screening findings, concomitant genital infections, and preventive factors.
The results demonstrated that Human Papillomavirus infection may occur both with clinical manifestations and in an asymptomatic form. The findings emphasize the importance of early laboratory diagnosis and regular screening for timely identification of clinically significant changes. Vaccination, systematic screening, individual risk assessment, health education, and appropriate clinical follow-up are considered important components of comprehensive prevention.
