What are the odds of...?

Question

I have the HPV virus in my system, but havn't had any outbreaks in years. I have an annoying bump on the inside of my lip. Is it possible that the virus broke out in my mouth? The last time I performed oral was a week ago, and I know that it can take months before an outbreak even occurs. What are the odds or chances that I have an HPV outbreak in my mouth? How dangerous is it? Can it be removed?

Answer 1

There's only one thing to find out whether "breaking out" is the case--go to a clinic and ask them to obtain a swab sample from the bump inside your lip for further lab work.

In any case, HPV likes the vaginal interior; I would not worry so much as having HPV in my mouth, since the aggresive form of HPV in your cervix is the possibility that you should be concerned about more...why I say so is that chronic HPV could lead to cervical cancer. Now this is not meant to scare you or anyone for the matter, especially ladies out there. But the sooner you get treated for HPV, whether you think it has broken out or not, the better your chances are of not having any serious case or full blown infection in the future.

Answer 2

There is no evidence that contaminated toilet seats, doorknobs, towels, soaps, swimming pools, or hot tubs, can transmit HPV. However, some unexplained cases of HPV lesions do occur and one should never rule out the possibility that an HPV infection may have been caught in a non-sexual event.

HPV types that cause hand and common warts generally do not cause warts in the genital area. The exception is the rare occurrence of warts in the genital area in young children that are due to these “non-genital” HPV types. Likewise, genital HPV types are only very rarely found in warts outside the genital area. Therefore, autoinoculation of HPV from one area to another does not occur except in the rarest of circumstances.

Whether one can increase the risk of infecting the cervix by autoinoculation from external warts, or visa versa, is not known, but most individuals who have HPV lesions in one area of the lower genital tract probably already have HPV in other genital tract areas. Therefore, one should not be concerned about “spreading” HPV from one area to another.

Answer 3

if you are even a little concerned have it checked out but get a referral to a specialist and don't waste time as appointments can take months. I have had a lump removed from my lip (not from doing anything adventurous) and I have also had a lump removed from my nose (again not from doing anything as adventurous as you ) the lumps are analysed so that you will find out if you have any other problems and the action you need to take however this day and age you probably need to use protection even orally so stop worrying and take necessary action asap so good luck and have fun ( your obviously having more fun than me)

Answer 4

Your description might be what you suspect, but then again, it MIGHT NOT. It COULD be something as common as canker sores. Canker sores on the inside of your mouth can occur anywhere from under your tongue, to inside your cheeks, to the area right inside your lower lip. Often they occur this way in people with substandard oral hygiene. On the other hand, cankers can also occur along with hormone fluctuations in the female body. I used to get them with my period like clockwork.

Try finding yourself a product to treat canker sores, and if the bumps don't recede, see a doctor.

Answer 5

Go to a doctor or clinic,
my friend just had surgery last week for HPV abnormal cervix cells they were pre-cancerous,this is serious it can rapidly spread & turn into cancer,but if treated soon enough it's very likely you will beat it.
