Hpv does not "go away". It is a sexually
transmitted virus. You have it for life.
Your doctor will/should explain any risks
or treatment options with you.
It depends on the kind of hpv there is
high risk and low risk, one is the std the
other is the abnormal cells in your cervix
that can lead to cervical cancer, I had
abnormal cells.They dida colpo after my
son was born but it all came back fine.
So I dunno what your situation is or wich
type of hpv you have. I think the
abnormal cells one doesnt affect pregnancy
depending if u had abiopsy of your cells
etc but like I said I dunno wich one it is
you have

Well, actually you are both wrong.
Hpv is sexually transmitted .B.O.T.H the
high risk kind and the kind that causes
warts (low risk).
Your body can clear hpv on it's own. It
is unknown how this happens, but your body
can get rid of it. There is no 'cure' for
it though.
You shouldn't have to do anything if you
have hpv other than continue getting pap
smears. There is no risk to your
pregnancy.
Nothing is done for 'just' hpv. You will
continue to have pap smears as scheduled
to see if it is causing any changes on
your cervix and if that does happen, you
will have a colposcopy and possibly a
biopsy (a very small bit of cervix is
removed for testing) to see what kinds of
cell changes are going on. After that you
may need a leep to have those surface
cells removed. None of this is that
terrible.
You should know that approximately 80% of
sexually active women will get hpv in her
lifetime. It is not uncommon and it isn't
life threatening.
