Should I get a hysterectomy cause of abnormal cells on cervix? I’m 20…?

Q: I’ve been battling pre-cancerous cells on my cervix for 2-3 years now. The culprit of the cells is the HPV virus. I had surgery 2 years ago, but the cells have returned. The doctors said they wanted me to come back in 6 months to check on the cells, but I’m frightened that they have turned to cancer, or the cells have spread or something. I haven’t had any kids yet and would LOVE to, but I don’t want to deal with this HPV anymore and having to keep getting procedures done until my cervix is either gone, or way too weakened to support a child. So should I just get a hysterectomy to avoid eventually developing cancer and getting procedures done? Will the cells really keep coming back? Why do people say that the surgery you get to treat the cells usually help with the abnormal cells not coming back and mine have? Another thing, since I contracted HPV 2 years ago, I have had unprotected sex with 4 guys. Do you think I could have caught another strain and that’s why the HPV is showing positive and abnormal cells are forming again? Please help I’ve been crying my eyes out all morning and all I want is to hear something encouraging…Whyyy does HPV have to exist!!!!!! =(

A: I’m afraid that I don’t know much about HPV or what you’re dealing with, but I can reassure you that if it does come down to a hysterectomy they can leave in your ovaries and you could actually do in-vitro with a surrogate mother and still have children. The doctors could also bank some of your eggs if it turns out you need the ovaries removed too. I know that’s probably discouraging but just wanted to let you know that even if you end up not being able to carry your own children, your eggs could be used to create them and have someone else carry them.Find a specialist if your gynecologist can’t give you good answers to these questions.
