Adults (≥ 18 years) diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) faced a 28% higher risk of developing major depressive disorder (HR 1.28) and a 31% higher risk of bipolar disorder (HR 1.31), according to a recent study. No notable association was observed with schizophrenia. Women, younger adults, and those with sleep disorders were most affected, highlighting the need for psychiatric monitoring.

A large meta-analysis confirmed that lichen sclerosis (LS) patients are more likely to develop thyroid diseases. Thyroiditis risk doubled (aOR 2.00), autoimmune thyroiditis/Hashimoto thyroiditis more than doubled (aOR 2.88), and hypothyroidism risk increased by 91% (aOR 1.91). Family history of thyroid disease surged the risk by nine-fold (aOR 9.10). Clinicians should monitor LS patients for thyroid-related symptoms.
