Human papillomavirus (HPV), the common infection in female lower genital tract, is related to the diseases of lower genital tract closely. In addition to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer, HPV is also associated with some vulvovaginal diseases. This paper will focus on the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and application of HPV vaccines and vulvovaginal HPV diseases.
