HPV and Pap smear? |
I had abnormal pap 3 years ago but since then had normal ones every 6 moths so could i still have hpv? You probably don't. But really, you should be asking your gyno, not us. doh yes Did your doctor tell you you had HPV when you had the abnormal pap smear? Abnormal pap smears can be caused by anything, you could have used a different soap that day and caused an imbalance in your pH levels that triggered an abnormal result. Abnormal result does not automatically mean HPV, however if your doctor told you you did have it, just ask to be retested. HPV does clear up on its own if you have a healthy immune system sometimes. Just ask for a retest if you tested positive for HPV before, if it was just an abnormal pap smear you should be fine! Good luck! HPV is a virus just like HIV, you can never get rid of it only treat it. Although with HPV your body can treat it on its own and make it like you do not have it anymore (thats why you are having normal paps again). It depends on the strain you have. Not necessarily. An abnormal Pap Smear does not always indicate that you have HPV which is why you have PAP Smears done every six months because IF you had HPV, it would have shown up again in the three years since your abnormal PAP. Sometimes, the human body particularly female undergo such hormonal changes like having a baby or had an infection that healed without being treated can cause an abnormal PAP Smear. I would ask my doctor the next time I went in for a PAP since the last 4 have been normal. The asnwer you are seeking is NO HPV is ridiculously common. There are over 100 strains of the virus. You may still have HPV, but that really does not matter. If you have had nothing but normal paps since your abnormal smear, you very likely do not have an HPV infection that will progress to serious disease. Your immune system has fought the infection. |
