Subject: Re: hpv true story Author: Trish [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tuesday, August 08, 02:02:33pm Author Host/IP: 64.12.116.138 In reply to: sue 's message, "hpv true story" on Sunday, November 06, 02:44:31pm So is this really the case? If you have HPV and go get a pap smear, if it comes back normal, than nothin is wrong (its gone into remission?) My doctor wasn't very helpful when she told me I had this: she just gave me some pamphlets and told me to come see her in 2 weeks for more treatment. Thanks [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Most often HPV does regress with time...some gals do need treatments...some don't. A Pap smear is not a screening tool for HPV...a PAP looks for abnormal cells...after abnormal cells are found a HPV test may be done...this test screens for high risk HPV. Low risk HPV can cause cell changes of the cervix but low risk HPV types tend to regress very fast...and low risk HPV are not included in our HPV screening... Because HPV can reoccur and we can always acquire other HPV anal Paps are recommended... I am not sure by your post if you were diagnosed with HPV via a visual of vulva warts or as a result of an abnormal Pap. If you give me a little more information perhaps I can help you understand more. Here is some basic facts on HPV. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/HPV Myra >So is this really the case?
