Yes, but have it treated, before becoming pregnant. Remember the more scarring you have, the worse your chances for future pregnancies, so be more careful of your partners in the future. Good Luck.

Will a hysterectomy prevent HPV from developing into Cervical Cancer?

Q: A million questions, but someone I love has recently been diagnosed with HPV, and I hate sitting by and pretending like everything is okay. I feel like her doctors should be doing something to prevent her from getting cervical cancer, because ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away.I know HPV is common, and that it’s affected millions of lives, but it’s always different when these things hit home. I don’t know what to do. Should I be urging her to have a hysterectomy? Will it even help? I imagine that it would, but I don’t understand why her doctor’s are not recommending it. She’s already had her children, and she doesn’t plan on having more. Are there dangers to having HPV without a cervix? Do they only do the surgery when cancer develops? Wouldn’t that be too late? Couldn’t it spread?I just don’t want to look back one day and say, “You know, I should have done something.” Please help.

A: Removal of the cervix will prevent cervical cancer. It will not prevent cancer of the vulva or cancer of the vaginal cuff (the cuff is what is formed with the cervix is removed), most vulva and vaginal cancer are due to a progressive HPV infection. A hysterectomy may not solve her HPV. A hysterctomy may be recommend when treatments have failed and to prevent the virus from progressing to a cancer. Once cervical cancer advances it can cause problems in other areas.Having a high risk HPV type does not mean your friend will develop cervical cancer. Sometimes treatments screening and surgeries are frustrating but many times after treatments the virus will regress. I don’t know what procedures your friend has been through or to what degree her virus has progressed. Since your friend has finished with her family and if her virus has progress and she has been treated then she should talk with her doctor about a hysterectomy. Your friend may also want to talk with a gynecologist oncologist this is the doctor who is an expert on cancer of the genital area. Understanding cell changes will help you understand more about the virus.http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understandingcervicalchangesA health immune system is a gals best friend in fighting the virus. Your support and friendship through this will be so important in her healing.Reading some personal stories of women who have developed cervical vulva and vaginal cancer.

If you have a daughter will you get her the Gardisil vaccine to prevent certain strains of HPV?

Q: I know that I will. I don’t think that you could ever be too safe when it comes to a potentially deadly STD. If it could be prevented, I think it’s well worth it. Have any other parents gotten this vaccine for their child? Do you plan to?My daughter still has several years before she’s old enough. There will be more studies done by then, it would be great if it’s even better by then, but only time will tell.

A: at this point in time – no. i have major issues w/that particular vaccine. i think there is a lot of propaganda surrounding it. i think it was released prematurely. i think a lot of “important” people pushing it were getting kick backs from the manufacture. i dont trust it at this point. not to mention i have issues w/drugs that are still new. in fact that is the very issue i’m in the mood i’m in today. today is the anniversary of my aunt death, which was caused by a drug that is on the market – one that was/is very new and released and prescribed w/out knowing all of the potentially life threatening side effects. so i’m probably a little biased…

I have hpv, should i try and have a baby now because if i wait it might be to late?

Q: Hello, i have two questions. i found out i have hpv on november 10th at that time i had my first colpol. my hpv at that time was low grade. i am due to go back to the doctor febuary 10th 2009. i have always wanted to have a child but i had planned on having one in my mid 20s. i have been reading about hpv alot on the internet. i have read that hpv does in some cases make it harder to consive. i am 18 now. and i dont want to miss the window with this. i do have a famliy and lifestyle that would be good for a child now. should i start trying to have a child before my hpv prevents me from doing so? or do i do nothing and hope that it does not increase to the point where i am not able to have kids.???????? my seconed question. i have had a regular scyal of 28 for a very long time. i am not due to start my next period untill the 25th. i bled this morning a small amout. and had sexual intercorse a while before. i have not been using any type of birth control because of the first question. what is up with this should i go see my doctor early? Please help. thank you in advance???????

A: HPV can cause cervical cancer, which can result in having to have a hysterectomy. However, this is quite rare and if you have regular smear tests you should be able to catch thsi in its early stages and prevent full blown cervical cancer. Normally abnormal cells will just be removed and the problem will go away.I’ve never hear that HPV prevents fertility in any other way. When I was diagnosed with it the doctor said that approximately 50% have HPV but normally it’s lying dormant and will not flare up into warts.The small amount of bleeding could be implantation bleeding if you’ve been having unprotected sex. You might be pregnant, do a test.Good luck!
