According to Chinese media such as the Shinmin Evening News, Zhang, who lives in Shanghai, recently used an online health counseling service because his body was itchy and tired. The service provider advised you to get an accurate examination at a hospital in Shanghai.
As a result, Jang, who visited the hospital and was tested, was found to be infected with the HPV virus.
Medical staff explained that two of the four indicators are high risk and two are low risk. He also warned that if left unattended, it could worsen into cancer.
Jang, who was diagnosed, decided to follow the 'treatment plan' suggested by the doctor.
During the 10 days of hospitalization, he spent a total of more than 27,000 yuan (about 5.25 million won) while receiving continuous drug treatment. It was practically his entire fortune. After completing in-hospital treatment, the doctor prescribed hundreds of yuan worth of medicine, saying "I need more treatment at home after discharge." However, taking the medicine did not improve the condition and did not work. Mr. Zhang said, `Even if I take medicine and injections every day, it doesn't work at all, and my body is getting itchy" he vented.
Therefore, he went to another general hospital and was examined again.
The doctor said the HPV virus test results were all normal.
Angry, he went to the hospital where he first went and asked about it, but he did not hear an explanation.
Only after reporting to the health authorities did the hospital offer to refund all medical expenses and compensate Jang for not being able to work for two months.
However, Chang refused to do so, saying, `I quit my job under too much psychological pressure to treat the disease,' `I hope the hospital will be able to get to the bottom of the problem and provide clear reasons and results not only for itself but also for more patients.'
Meanwhile, local medical experts explained that the timing of turning negative after infection with the HPV virus varies greatly among individuals, which mainly depends on the patient's own immunity, type of infection, and timing of treatment.
It is also said that if all conditions are appropriate, it can generally be changed to negative within six months or one to two years.
However, if you do not receive treatment after infection, the virus may remain in the body for a long time, and in severe cases, you may have it for life.
