Colposcopies And How They Effect Your Partner Posted: 11-23-07 14:16pm
i had my 2nd colposcopy this week and even
though i did not get my results yet and
will not be at ease 100% until i receive
them, my doctor says she can tell there is
still nothing serious or cancerous (thank
god, PRAY FOR ME!) i had asked her if my
boyfriend should get checked out. she had
recommended he get a cleaning at a
dermatologist especially if he is
uncircumcised. have any of you ladies
heard of this? and if any of you had a
similar situation did your doctor
recommend your partner have additional
testing?
thanks in advance guys! i want to make
sure both my boyfriend and i will be in
good health and take care of ourselves
before anything gets serious. plus it
never hurts to take extra precaution.

Why did you need the colposcopy (or
however you spell that)? Either way, if
the doc said he should get checked, do it!
I've never heard of anything like that
but it can't hurt to take every
precaution.

well i've had adnormal cell growth since
about may-june. my doctor told me it is
not cancerous or a sign of any stages of
HPV and usually within time it goes away
(usually 1-3 years) but until then every 6
months i need to have one done just as a
precaution. of course even though i am
fine i'm sure i will continue to worry
myself every time i need to do the test
lol, but i've been trying to be positive
about it since it could be much worse and
is thankfully nothing serious. tomorrow i
am seeing my gyno and she is going to give
me a refferal for my boyfriend to see a
dermatologist.

That sounds like a good plan.
I'm sure it is nothing serious- you'll be
fine!
Let us know how it goes.

Did they test you for HPV? HPV is the
leading cause of cervical abnormalities.

when there is an abnormality in your PAP
they usually want you to do a colposcopy
to see if there is any hpv, cancerous
cells. really nerve racking!!

is going to the dermatologist sometime
next week. ladies it is so important to
keep getting those PAP smears. it really
can help save alot of lives! please keep
yourselves protected and thank you all for
your input!
