Herpes and HPV, help?
Question: Ive been trying to find information on having HPV and herpes.... Im not getting anywhere. Anyone know anything? Answer: Well, what do you want to know? They aren't related. I got HPV when I was pregnant and it typically goes away by itself after about a year, although certain strands can lead to cervical cancer. It's a change in your cervical cells. It also brings genital warts. From what I told, once the HPV is clear, the warts won't come back unless you contract it again. I had to get the acid treatment done on my warts and I haven't had them reappear in about eight months. Therefore, herpes doesn't have a cure but HPV does go away. Just have it monitored. Answer: when I contracted herpes I thought I got genital warts too so I went to a doctor but he said there was nothing. I think that because it was so tiny he just couldn't see it. I actually saw it getting bigger so I had to do something about it. I was probably overreacting a bit but I just didn't want it to get bigger. I applied Verrumal which I normaly use for warts on my feet and the little monster fell off the next day. It was little painful but it worked. I would definitly try it. Answer: There are different strains of HPV which cause changes in your cervical cells. It is careful to have them monitored frequently to detect changes. The strains that give you genital warts are not linked to cervical cancer. I know this because my doctor explained this to me because I have it too. The strains that do not give the warts are the kind that are linked to cervical cancer. Genital warts come as a result of contracting one of the strains that cause them. All strains of HPV are transmitted sexually. For the warts, I suggest Aldara cream before doing anything drastic (like surgery to remove them). Once they are gone, like herpes, the HPV virus (if it the strains that cause warts) lies dormant in your body but for some reason never returns to the skin in many people, and for some it is only a few times....nothing like how often the herpes virus returns. The other strains that cause changes in your cervical cells need to be carefully watched and you may have to go to the doctor 2 -4 times a year to have repeat papsmears or colposcopy procedure to check over time. If you have no changes detected for a year then you can resume going back once a year to the doctor. Smoking is linked to abnormal cells caused by certain strains of HPV so they will reccommend you to stop smoking if you have HPV and cervical dysplasia. Hope this helps you a bit.

I have warts and abnormal cervical cells, so I guess it's possible to have multiple strands then? I thought they could be on the same strand. Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.thanktoday.com
