Not necessarily. The incidence of flat warts is not all related to gynecological HPV infection.
HPV has more than 100 genotypes, usually low-risk.
Flat warts are usually caused by a low-risk HPV infection, usually types 3 and 10, and rare types 20 and 29.
Gynecological-related HPV infection, mainly involving high-risk HPV 16, 18 (both are associated with 70% of cervical cancers), and may also involve high-risk HPV 31, 33, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, etc.; as for low-risk HPV 6, 11, 40 infection, it is mainly related to condyloma acuminatum.
Although most patients with flat warts are infected with low-risk HPV, it cannot be ruled out that female patients may have HPV infection in the cervix at the same time.
If you are concerned about the coexistence of high-risk subtype HPV virus infection, you need to do related testing in the gynecology department, and you can do cervical HPV screening.
