How does hpv affect the uterus?
HPV does not affect the body of the uterus. HPV may affect the uterine cervix.
Can cervical cancer cause HPV in males?
Most cervical cancer is caused by damage due to HPV. If the woman is still shedding HPV on the cervix, a man could get that strain of high-risk HPV.
Is HPV a viral STD?
HPV is a viral STD. HPV can cause genital warts or cancerous/precancerous lesions in the cervix or anus.
Can hpv lay dormant in the body were a pap smear wont detect?
Yes, HPV can be dormant and undetected by a pap smear. A pap smear looks for damage to the cervix caused by HPV. It does not look for all subtypes of HPV or detect HPV infection.
Can hpv stop you from gettin pregnant?
Yes. Some strains of HPV can also cause cervical cancer and genital warts. It may or may not, depends how severe it is. I was diagnosed with HPV after the birth of my daughter almost 7 years ago. I am now a month away from delivering my son. There may be some complications though. I was admitted to the hospital at 28 weeks due to early labor. My doctor said it was because my cervix was shorter than normal due to the numerous coposcopys they did to remove the abnormal cells. Good Luck
What is the pathogen of hpv?
HPV stands for human papillomavirus. HPV is a virus.
Do you need treatment for abnormalities in the cervix if hpv is often said to go away?
The recommended treatment for abnormalities on the cervix caused by HPV depends on the severity of disease and on the patient's age. Please contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
How accurate are hpv tests if you don't have any symptoms yet?
There is no commercially available test to tell someone they don't have HPV. An HPV test is sometimes done in conjunction with a Pap smear. This test looks for high-risk HPV subtypes on the cervix. It can't tell you that you don't have HPV. Most people contract HPV soon after becoming sexually active. If you are sexually active, you have probably been exposed to HPV. There is nothing special you need to do if you have HPV. You should consider getting the HPV vaccine, using condoms or abstaining from sex, and, if you're female, should get pap smears regularly as advised by your women's health care provider.
If you test hpv negative but have abnormal cells could you still have hpv?
The HPV test that may be done as a followup to an abnormal pap looks for high-risk (cancer causing) HPV. If the test is negative, you don't have high-risk HPV on the cervix, but you may be infected with low risk HPV subtypes, or infected in another location.
I had a leep produrer done 5 weeks ago so can your husand give you back hpv?
The LEEP procedure does not remove HPV from your body; it removes abnormal cells from the cervix that have been damaged by HPV. It is not normally recommended that a couple begin using condoms after treatment for cervical cell abnormalities. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
How does infection increase with HPV increase cervical cancer?
Certain types of HPV are considered "high-risk" HPV subtypes. These can cause cancerous changes in the cervix, anal and rectal tissue, and throat, as well as the vagina and penis.
Why would a doctor take 3 biopsys from your cervix if you tested negative for HPV?
That is definitely a question for the doctor !
