Good News about Women and Hpv

"Dr. Mortakis' book is an example of how professional knowledge can be transferred to our families. I hope you will enjoy the reading of it as much as I did."

Silvia de Sanjose, MD PhD President of the International Papillomavirus Society

Papillomaviruses are widespread in nature. We are all exposed to them and they are usually benign. However, some of them may cause disease: about 5% of all human cancers are caused by HPV types. That is why a Nobel Prize was awarded for those who demonstrated the association between certain HPV types and cancer of the cervix, and a vaccine to prevent infection by several HPV types has been produced.

Welcome as they are, all of these developments have led to confusion and concern. This book, written by Alexander Mortakis, Md, Ph.D., an expert in the field of HPV, addresses these fears. Dr. Mortakis shares, in plain language, everything he has learned through his 30 years of diagnosing and treating patients with HPV in his clinic. It is all about understanding the impact of these viruses and how to prevent, treat, and control them. The information provided is relevant for both men and women, as any sexually active person is susceptible to HPV. Going through the different chapters of this book, you will learn how to prevent HPV from causing problems.

The contents of the book are organized in the form of a 311 common questions that many women ask their doctor or themselves; questions that cover a wide spectrum of issues which can cause unnecessary anxiety, fear, and problems in family life if not properly addressed. Read it to relieve yourself of any useless anxiety and correctly protect your health.
