hpv, dysplasia or what??

Question

got my first pap smear 9 months ago and results came back with abnormal cells which were called moderate dysplasia! the doctor said i'd have to get a colposcopy biopsy to fully understand why this was happening. when the biopsy results came back the gyn said my cells were still abnormal, but better than before, so she suggested i get another pap test done!, which i'm going to do on wednesday! why is it that they won't diagnose my condition and treat it also how long does it take for hpv to abnormalise a pap test.. thanks guys for your help

Answer 1

Not all cervical dysplasias are caused by HPV. If the condition is improving, chances are the dysplasia was transient and not the result of infection. Many doctors like to take a more cautious approach to Paps for younger patients (the ones who are most likely to have a dysplasia not caused by HPV). Colposcopy is a minor surgery, but why go straight to that if it's not necessary?

If your doctor elects to wait and see if your condition progresses, then on the next try if your Pap is still abnormal, s/he may recommend testing for HPV and/or doing the colposcopy.

HPV can take months to YEARS to progress to cancer. Cervical cancer in generally a slow-progressing cancer, so even if it gets to that point, it's still quite easy to catch early.

Try to relax for now and keep a positive mind.

Answer 2

A LEEP method could be very potent in taking away precancerous lesions and practically guarantees a ninety% remedy price. However, irregular cells can exhibit on a pap smear at any time without or with the HPV virus. Having this virus does broaden your threat of having cervical melanoma but when you're well approximately scheduling a pap once or more a 12 months, if whatever in any respect is discovered, it's going to be in an early, treatable degree.
