Main findings
The present study aimed to shed some light on the reproductive concerns of women infected with HPV and found they have reproductive concerns and informational needs over male and female fertility potential. Women expressed some pregnancy challenges like worries about harm to fetus, and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preterm delivery, and cesarean section. Women in this study also reported concerns over non-pregnancy reproductive issues such as contraception, breastfeeding, and premature menopause. HPV-positive women with abnormal cytology results were anxious that becoming pregnant and taking hormonal contraception might worsen their health. Most married participants were reluctant to use a condom and wondered why HPV patients must use it. They also asked about the potential reproductive risks of the HPV vaccine.
