Risk factors of human papillomavirus-related cervical lesions in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study
Co-infection with HPV types 16 and 18, as well as mixed infections involving HPV 16/18 and other types, TZ 3, and colposcopic features indicative of high-grade lesions and cancer, were identified as independent risk factors for HPV-related cervical lesions in postmenopausal women. Therefore, postmenopausal women with these high-risk factors need to undergo frequent cervical screening, and histopathological examination, if necessary.
