HPV problem,?

Question

I have HPV virus for the past 6 months , I removed the wart but still I have pain and burning sensation in my vagina ,, my doctor says you have to just learn to live with it. I am so sensetive down there , I cant even have intercourse .. any kind of medicine that can inactive the virus .. I went to several doctors and they all say since it is a virus there is nothing they can do .. I know there is no medicine to kill the virus but anything to ease the burning ..

I am really confused , there are some articles saying that your immune system can get rid of the virus ( 80 percent of the time) there are some saying that virus stays in your body for good , which one is right??

Answer 1

Ummm why do you have burning??? The HPV virus doesn't cause burning ?? I have had it for six years and never had buring in my vagina!!! I would go to a different obgyn. Unless did you have warts inside or cervical dysplasia and had treatment cause thhose treatments can cause buning feeling afterwards
?? And I am still so confused to about if you can get rid of the virus or not...my doctor said I can get the vaccine since I haven't had anywarts since I was 17 and never had an abnormal pap smear. Anyways go see some gynos.

Answer 2

There are about 14 different types of HPV. Some cause warts, some cause cervical cancer and others are just there. Yes, most of the time they go away but not always.

I'm wondering where exactly you are experiencing the burning sensations. These sensations can occur in the spot where the wart was and may not go away. However, you stated that you are sensitive "down there." It should not hurt all over. This sounds like more than HPV. I agree that you need to seek another expert opinion. And the sooner, the better. Also you should avoid having intercourse until you get checked out. Intercourse may irritate the area and may void any tests that need to be done. Good luck!

Answer 3

Oh geeze! This is exactly why I am trying to spread the word on this website!

First of all, I am a Cytotechnologist with over 10 years experience screening Pap tests for signs of HPV, precancerous and cancerous cells. I am a professional. I see HPV every day.

HPV or Human Papilloma Virus is a common virus with over 100 different viral types. Basically HPV is the virus that causes a whole host of warts including common warts, genital warts, verruca vulgaris, condyloma and flat warts.

HPV has gotten a lot of hype lately because of a new vaccine that may prevent people from contracting STD-related HPV viral types 6, 11, 16 and 18. These are the most common types of warts known to cause genital warts, cervical, penile and anal cancers. There are, of course, other HPV viral types that the vaccine won't guard you against.

We all know that you can get warts from someone else who has them. The big scare is that, even though doctors have known for a long time that HPV can cause cervical cancer as well as penile and anal cancer, they haven't made it public knowledge because it is an STD and you get it from someone who is infected (basically you had sex with someone other than your current partner). No one wants to hear that. What they often fail to tell people is that you can have HPV for years and years before it ever developes into precancer and cancer.

There are over 100 different HPV viral types (strains or varieties). The vaccine only protects you from 4, and there are no long-term studies on how long it protects, how well it protects and what the long-term side effects are.

The HPV test has an error rate of 10%. That means, 10% of the tests are wrong. It also only detects 40 of the 100 viral types, so it is VERY POSSIBLE to have a negative HPV test and STILL HAVE HPV.

So, you can have a positive HPV test and a negative Pap and get cervical cancer.

You can have a Positive Pap and a negative HPV test and get cervical cancer.

And you can have a Negative Pap and a Negative HPV test and get cervical cancer.

There's a vaccine out there being marketed that may protect you, but no guarantees. Should you get the vaccine?
Maybe. It may or may not protect you. If you've ever had sex with someone who has had sex with someone else, there's a good chance (90%) that the vaccine will be a waste of money because you will already have the virus.

If you and your partner have NEVER HAD SEX WITH ANYONE ELSE BEFORE, then get the vaccine. If nothing else, you will be partially protected, and less likely to contract it.

Should you be scared?
No.

90% of all women have HPV by the time they are 23 years old. 80% of those women resolve the virus on their own. Only 20% ever get precancerous or cancerous lesions. The virus stays dormant in your body forever. If your immune system is supressed, it can come back. We see a lot of women who are on chemotherapy, have AIDS, or are pregnant show up with HPV for the very first time. Have you ever noticed that the wart on your hand comes back right before a big date or a test? That wart is a type of HPV, and the strain that causes cervical cancer reacts the very same way.

So, what IS the best way to prevent and detect cervical cancer?

PRACTICE SAFE SEX

GET YOUR PAP TEST EVERY YEAR (it's the only test that looks at the cells for signs of cancer.)

SEE YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU EVER HAVE UNUSUAL VAGINAL BLEEDING OR PAIN

AND IF YOU EVER HAVE DYSPLASIA OR PRECANCEROUS CELLS ON A PAP, FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS INSTRUCTIONS. A biopsy will remove just the tissue that is infected so it won't turn into cancer.

NO WOMAN EVER HAS TO DIE FROM CERVICAL CANCER. Just get your Pap test EVERY year, and an HPV test EVERY year for 5 years after you change partners.

That doesn't sound right to me. HPV can be treated. Seek another gynecologist. Make sure the warts are all gone and that the tissues in your vagina have not incurred some type of nerve damage from the removal of the wart. HPV is the leading cause of cervial cancers. Make sure your treatment is complete. Keep seeking help until you get a cure.
Visit your county hospital. Doctors there usually handle a wide variety of disorders and offer some of the best treatment. Or seek a teaching hospital or the board of health. Again, these places specialize in the latest treatment options. DON'T stop seeking treatment until you are healed! Your life may depend on this.
Good luck to you.

Answer 5

There is a cream that helps heal the actual virus called Aldara. They even use this on skin cancer patients. This is one of the most successful treatments because if works with your bodies immune system. If you have heard on the news now they have an injection that cures 4 different strains of HPV. HPV is known to cause cancer so this is something that is serious and NO doctor should tell you to just deal with it. Look into ALDARA!!! There is also another cream... let me think, mmm not many doctors use it because it is SOOOOO Painful but works wonders to get rid of the virus. DARNET... let me look into it and I will let u know tomorrow but as for know, look into ALDARA. There should be NO reason why they don't give you this. We have treated many patients with HPV with this and it has compleately eliminated any signs of HPV. Trust me it works amazing. Also look into the new injections. What they do is inject the sight. They will have to find out what HPV virus you have to make sure it will work against it and make sure your insurance can cover it but the injection and ALDARA both eliminate HPV.

See...knowledge is power ma'dearie. Sometimes you have to be persistent with your doctor and TELL them that is what you want and not give them a way around it. Trust me I have learned the hard way. So I try to educate patients and people with the knowledge I know so they don't suffer as I have. So please go to the doctor oh and remind me about the other med...it is painful but it does work.

The HPV virus always remains in the body; there is not currently a "cure" for this virus. You should keep the infected area clean and dry, wear cotton underwear, avoid sexual contact while the warts are present, limit the number of sex partners, tell your partner(s) that you have HPV, and make sure to get regular Pap Smears if you are a female. Condom usage with every intercourse helps to lower the chance of infections in the future--some online advice i found included soaking the lower half of your body in a shallow salt bath, but that's about all I can find..hope it helps :(

Answer 7

Ok first of all HPV is not treatable period. There are thousands of different strands of the Virus so as far as it goes for going away on its own depends on wich strand you have. How did you get rid of the warts? Most OBGYN with perform a LEEP wich will cut the tip of the cervix, therefore removing the warts. If your doctor is not trying to help you with pains and burning I would go to another doctor. Their job is to help you in anyway possible since you are paying them. DONT SETTLE FOR LESS!! When I had HPV I always took a multi vitamin to keep my immune system healthy and strong as possible. Maybe you should try a viamin also. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Well you should have both got checked after last partner if it was important right? Did your other partners come up with it? thats a good way to know. Maybe you guys should think about them instead of argue about immature things you cant help now. Contact them and explain that after you and your spouse was together y'all found out that y'all had hpv. You don't know who had it first be tell them please get checked as it is important for them, thier partners and maybe future kids they have (can prevent pregnancy problems at birth I understand) (baby could get it). They can then say i dont have it or i do. Say you are so sorry! Have them let you know. And maybe both partners did opps! Just remember really it dont matter. If you find out can you live with it and be mature? Will it be thrown up everytime you argue? If so, you should get counseling hon. Good luck. I dont think it matters you both have it and your married and love each other.

Answer 9

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about three years ago, when I was still attending college and had a foolish one-night stand. I know lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/93iQe everything changed.

Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.
