I'm very unfamiliar with this and would like to learn more about it.... by the way I'm only 21 yrs. old. Is it a serious condition? Is is common? What causes it? Treatment? and MOST IMPORTANTLY will it affect my ability to become pregnant. I am a mother to a 5 month old could giving birth cause this? I have an appt. to sit down with my doctor for tomorrow, but i'm really want to know something before then.

Giving birth wouldn't cause a squamous lesion on your cervix, it shouldn't prevent you from having other children.
*also, having a partner that isn't circumcised...
It's good you're having yourself checked-out, caught early you will be fine...
Sometimes cells can appear abnormal & turn out to be fine.
Your lesion is called Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection appears to be an early event in cervical carcinogenesis with additional abnormalities being required for biological transformation.
WHAT ARE RISK FACTORS FOR HAVING HPV?
Risks factors for having HPV of any kind, including high risk subtypes are: (1) first sexual encounter at age <18; (2) multiple sexual partners, or a partner who has had multiple partners; (3) unprotected intercourse; (4) being on immune suppressant medications or having a medical condition which causes immune suppression; (4) herstory of chlamydia; gonorrhea or other STDs, since these are acquired in a similar manner.
