Diagnosed With Hpv And Need Answers Posted: 02-04-04 14:28pm
Hi I am new here but thought that this was
a good place to get some answers that I am
not getting from the doc. Lets start out
with this: I am currently 15 weeks
pregnant and just had an abnormal pap
smear. This being my 4th child and never
having an abnormal pap before, I was
worried. Well the doc calls and said
that I showed some signs of hpv virus.
Well I had no clue what that was so I
called up mom. She said that is what she
had when she was pregnant with me and her
doc said that the virus itself could pass
to me. Well I took that info to my doc
and they said that was wrong and her doc
was not right. This doc that I see has
already contradicted herself so many times
I don't know what to believe or listen to.
I am in need of some advice on which to
listen to. I have been scheduled for
colpo but I have no signs of warts nor
does my husband. Thanks in advance for
info.

You may never have warts or show any
symptoms this has become a very common
thing ive read that it should be called an
epidemic. Colposcopy is no big deal,
they just need to keep close track of you
now because it increases the risk of
cervical cancer.

I had that same problem when I was
pregnant and I had to have a coloscopy
also. It turned out to be absolutely
nothing and I got all freaked out over it
also. So maybe you could have contracted
it when you were born? That is very
possible if your mother had it when she
was pregnant with you. It's very
important to have them taken care of
because it can be passed to child or cause
difficulties with birth. But I wouldn't
worry because the same exact thing
happened to me. Keep me posted
though..Im here to help if you need to
talk.
