Where did you get this info? Is high
risk HPV concsidered the strains that
cause dysplasia and pre-cancerous cells?

There are probably 100 strains of HPV.
About 30 percent of those are high
risk. Was infected by a high risk
strain that I'm being treated for
right now. The doctor has informed me
that the high risk strain causing
dysplasia and precancerous conditions
to my cervix do not go away. Even
when it's dormant, I cannot miss my
paps in case it reactivates itself
again. I'm going through this as we
speak.

To answer your question -Yes. High
risk HPV cause abnormal cell changes
to the cervix. These are called
dysplasia or precancerous.

I don't think I buy what you are
saying .My doctor has told me that it
usually clears itself, and I have read
many things that say the same thing. I
have a hard time believing it lasts
forever if it clears with a 91 percent
rate in a matter of two years. Now
however I do think some people may
carry it forever but definatly not
all.

Continued from above
Besides there are so many hpv strains
it is more likely that a person has
contracted a different strand then
reactivated itself it other issues
occur.

The dysplasmia may disappear after a
couple of years.. However, the virus
itself doesn't go away.. it has the
ability to become active again.
That's why your doctor will also tell
you NOT to miss your annual paps (even
when you are clear). Don't believe?
Ask your doctor.

There's no cure for high risk virus.
Once you have it... you can't get rid
of it.

You're dumb
That is not a fact. Go to the CDC
and read about HPV. Even high risk
types of HPV were found to be
transient and cleared from the body
after 2 years. The fact is that 92%
of people who have been found to have
HPV (based upon scientific studies)
did not show traces of the virus after
2 years. That is a fact - not the
sweeping general statement you threw
up above.

Dr
I agreed with the poster! All virus
including hpv cannot get rid from the
body. The virus load sometime can be
as low as undetectable. But...it can
be active at anytime and reproduce a
large amount to pose danger

Are you telling me I shouldn't believe
what my doctor tells me? Are you
calling my doctor dumb? Instead of
trying to support your disbelief, I
suggest you ask your doctor about what
I wrote. He may be able to tell you
which high risk strains are the ones
that the body can't get rid of.

Why do you keep getting biopsies for 9
months? you dont make any sense. I
think your story is made up to scare
others on the board. Biopsies often
times remove the abnomal areas
anyways.So your insurance pays for all
these biopsies at 700 a pop? Im curious

YD - pt. 2
Because one doctor says it does not
make it fact. There is reasearch that
contradicts what your doctor has told
you (reported by the CDC which is
reputable and made up of 8500 health
professionals). A small minority of
people will not be able to get rid of
the virus - your doctor is either
uninformed (as many general practice
Drs are in regard to HPV) or telling
you what he has to tell you in order
to avoid a future lawsuit.

YD - cont.
Future lawsuit from one of the
minority that doesn't get rid of it.
There are high risk strains that are
HARDER for the body to get rid of, but
these same studies have shown that
these strains do go away as well.

I've been getting colpos and biopsies
for dysplasia and precancerous
lesion. If the abnormal growth isn't
precancerous, but looks suspicious..
the doctor would perform a biopsy to
be on the safe side. I want to believe
what you wrote (studies and quotes),
however you're not an OBGYN doctor.
Why are you so afraid of asking your
doctor? My insurance covers most of
my procedures, around $400. Is there
anyone else out there who's going
through this too?

YD - pt. 4
I've asked about 5 Docs and derms - 1
said forever, 1 said goes away and
won't have to deal with again (but
small chance could reoccur later in
life), 3 said No worries wait a year
or two and live life like it didn't
happen. You don't have to believe me -
check out www.hpv.forum (a good
collection of research) start doing
your own - beware the religious
doctors and websites they want to
scare you into abstinence.

studies...cause he/she is COMPLETELY
WRONG.

The OBGYN doctor has seen and treated
high risk hpv cases that have
returned.... after years of being
dormant (same strain). I went to the
hpvsupport forum and found a couple of
people that have concluded the same
thing. Modern studies are focused on
majority of the strains... which
clears and do not return. You can't
say the doctors who conclude this are
wrong.

You said you called on 5 docs and
derms. Are the docs specialists or
OBGYN related? Why would you call on
derms? Do they perform surgery or
procedures related to cervical hpv?
By the way, you're not mean... just
stubborn like myself :)

Derm cuz I got warts and they know
their warts. By THE strain I'm
assuming you mean HPV-16 right? Thats
the most aggressive one. Does your
OBGYN do HPV tests or is she basing
this all off of Pap tests?. From most
of the literature I've read you either
clear HPV or you don't regardless of
strain. Some people it will return
but its a small portion of all of
those who get HPV.

YD
If she is basing that statement off of
HPV tests where HPV goes undetectable
and then the same strain comes back
that would contradict the research. If
she is doing pap/biopsy combos then
its possible that the people that it
returns to never actually fought off
the virus in the first place.
|

YD
The research states this will happen
to 8% of people who get HPV regardless
of type (with 16 the most likely to
stick around).
Yes I'm very stubborn. They need to
increase the size of the replies.

Please don't get up here and take
peoples hope away, because for some of
us, thats all we have left. Just remain
hopeful that it will go away, and pray
that it will stay away.
