What does it mean if you have HPV and Cervical Dysplasia?
Cervical dysplasia means that there are abnormal cell in the cervix. They are not cancer but show signs of becoming cancerous.
If a woman has cervical dysplasia caused by HPV can she pass it on to her partner and will it affect him in anyway?
Cervical dysplasia itself is not contagious, but the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes it can be transmitted to sexual partners. If a woman has HPV, she can pass the virus to her partner through sexual contact. While most men do not experience symptoms or long-term health effects from HPV, in some cases, it can lead to genital warts or, in rare instances, certain types of cancers. It's advisable for both partners to discuss their HPV status and consider vaccination and regular health check-ups.
What are the pros and cons of the HPV vaccine?
The advantages of the HPV vaccine are protection against cervical cancer and cervical dysplasia. Avoiding the treatment of these conditions can preserve fertility. The cons are the discomfort of the shot, which is much less than the discomfort of cancer and dysplasia treatment.
How long does it take to get cervical dysplasia after contracting high-risk HPV?
Cervical dysplasia can develop after contracting high-risk HPV, but the timeline varies significantly among individuals. It may take several months to years for dysplastic changes to appear, as the virus can remain dormant in the body for a long time. Regular screenings and Pap tests are essential for early detection, as many HPV infections resolve on their own without causing dysplasia.
If a girl had cervical cancer did her partner have HPV?
No, not necessarily. Cervical cancer is not always caused by the HPV virus and can be for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is not necessarily because her partner has/had HPV, however this possibility should not be ruled out.
Do pre-cancerous cells on your cervix mean you have HPV?
Pre-cancerous cells on the cervix are almost always caused by HPV. But if you had an abnormal Pap smear and are waiting for colposcopy, you shouldn't assume anything until the colposcopy biopsy results come in. Cervical dysplasia can result from HPV infection that happened many, many years ago. A diagnosis of cervical dysplasia is not evidence that your partner has other partners at this time. Most people pick up genital HPV strains very soon after becoming sexually active, and it would be unusual to find a partner who was not infected unless he or she had never had oral, anal, or vaginal sex or genital-genital contact with someone else. This is why vaccination for genital HPV is so important, even for someone who plans to have only one lifetime partner.
Are all warts caused by HPV linked to cancers?
All types of warts are caused by HPV. Some HPV types are more likely to cause warts on the feet, others on the genitals.
Why will cervical cancer continue to decline?
Cervical cancer will continue to decline with increased adoption of the HPV vaccine. In addition, more targeted screening for HPV-related cervical dysplasia is making it easier to identify high-risk women.
What is hpv caused from?
HPV is a virus. It's spread by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.
Have a wart on your genitals that is not HPV?
All warts are caused by HPV, wherever they are found on the body. If it is not HPV, it is not, by definition, a wart, but is some other kind of bump.
