HPV?? Do u have it??

Question

What are the symptoms of HPV?? I read that a lot of women have it, & not know it..

Answer

I had two abnormal Pap smears. The first one, I was in college. I had a colposcopy and it came back as cancer cells on my cervix so I had a procedure called LEEP. They just go in and take away the bad cells from your cervix. I had to have repeat paps every three months for a year. I had another abnormal pap with the same colposcopy results. They didn't repeat the surgery because I got pregnant. I didn't notice any symptoms. I had the vaccine after my surgery and it protects you from the other strands of the virus but it can't protect you from the one you already had. Most women, get and don't know it. Their bodies can fit it and it clears up. Your doctor can tell after your Pap smear if you have it.
