How long does it take HPV to effect your ovaries and stuff...?

Question

If it hasn't been treated.

How bad is the treatment? Can a women still have kids after hpv or if she still has it?

Answer 1

HPV rarely affects a woman's ovaries. The main concerned with HPV is the cervical cancer it can cause.

As long as a woman stays on top of her pap smears and get any tests or procedures they want her to get done (like a colposcopy), she should be just fine! Pap smears are the best thing a woman can get to detect any abnormalities on the cervix caused by HPV. With proper screenings like pap smears, cervical cancer can usually be caught early and treated.

If cervical cancer goes unnoticed though, or it's caught too late then a woman might have to have a hysterectomy, and might even die from it. Cervical cancer affects 10,000 women in the US every year and about 4,000 of those women die from it.

A woman can still have children as long as she hasn't had a hysterectomy done. I have personally had cervical cancer from my HPV and I had to have part of my cervix removed. My doctor told me I can still have children, but I'll most likely be on bed rest throughout the majority of the pregnancy.

The treatment depends on how bad the cervical cancer is, or how bad the genital warts are. Genital warts are usually pretty easy to treat and get rid of. Cervical cancer is more involved. Depending on what the doctor thinks and depending on the severity of the cancer and woman can have part of her cervix removed, have a hysterectomy (her uterus removed), have to go through chemotherapy, or even die from it. It just depends on how bad it is.

Take care!

Answer 2

What Is Genital HPV Infection?

Human papilloma virus (HPV) causes common warts, the small, white, beige or brown skin growths that can appear almost anywhere on the body and on the moist mucous membranes near the mouth, anus and genitals.
There are more than 70 different types of HPV, each with its own favorite skin surface to invade. Some cause the small, painless, rough-surfaced warts found on the fingers and face. Others cause the larger, more painful and flatter plantar warts that grow on the soles of the feet. More than 25 different types of HPV can infect the skin covering the sex organs and opening of the anus, causing genital warts.

Certain types of genital HPV infection or warts can increase a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer. At least five different viruses that cause genital warts have been linked to the development of cervical cancer and, less often, squamous cell cancer of the penis, vagina, anus and vulva, the external genital area in women. Certain types of HPV have been linked to mouth and throat cancers.

Human papilloma viruses usually are spread by direct skin contact, such as shaking the hand of someone who has a wart on their finger or having unprotected sexual intercourse with someone who has genital warts. Less often, the viruses are carried on surfaces touched by someone who has warts, especially inside shoes that have been worn by someone with plantar warts. Once a person has been infected with an HPV, symptoms usually take three to four months to develop. However, in some cases, warts have developed as long as two years after contact with an infected person or contaminated surface.

Health experts estimate that common warts can be found on the hands of about one-fourth of all people in the United States, especially children. For some unknown reason, plantar warts are most common among teenagers and young adults.

How Is Genital HPV Infection Diagnosed?

Your doctor usually can diagnose warts by examining the area. By looking at the area, your doctor also can determine what treatment may be necessary and if a biopsy should be done to look for cancer. In a biopsy, a small piece of tissue is removed and examined under a microscope.
People with plantar warts usually complain of pain on the bottom of their feet when walking. If you have possible plantar warts, your doctor will examine your foot and make sure there are no bone, joint or tendon problems that would explain the pain.

If you have possible genital warts, your doctor will ask about your sex habits, including whether you practice safe sex (because condoms may protect against HPV transmission) or engage in anal sex, which increases the risk for warts near the anus. In women with genital warts, the doctor may examine the surface of the cervix and vagina using an instrument called a colposcope. This tubelike instrument has a light and lenses to give the doctor a magnified view of the cervix and nearby vaginal skin. A biopsy of abnormal cervical tissue may be necessary to look for cervical cancer. A Pap smear will be done to look for microscopic precancer or early cancer of the cervix.

Sometimes, HPV infection is detected on a routine Pap smear. Follow-up Pap smears or colposcopy will be recommended by your doctor based on your other risk factors for developing cervical cancer.

DNA tests can identify the specific types of HPV infection in cells taken from a woman's cervix. The test helps to identify women who have the types of HPV infection associated with the development of cervical cancer. Many doctors use this test in women with inconclusive or abnormal Pap smears, so that women at higher risk of developing cancer can have colposcopy and biopsies earlier, while women who do not have the worrisome types of DNA in their cervical cells can safely delay additional testing.
