HPV Question?

Question

I have a low grade of HPV. Although I have never had any warts, I have had vanginal burning that lasted for 8 months. The pain finally went away but my skin is still always red. I know it was any type of vaginal infection because the doctors checked so many times. But does hpv sometimes cause vaginal burning? And also... does hpv go away??? Like I read some things on the internet where people say they no longer have HPV. I thought HPV is a forever virus.

Answer 1

There is NO "cure" for HPV because it is a virus, however, most women are able to get rid of the virus on their own. Their bodies can basically "fight it off" and get rid of it.

When most people think of a "cure" they think of getting rid of something with drugs, therapy, natural remedies, etc. So, since there are no drugs or therapy to actually rid the virus from the body then there is technically no "cure".

Since HPV is a virus though, and there are no cures for viruses, some people will have the virus their entire life and are unable to get rid of it. And, just because a person might have gotten rid of the virus doesn't mean they can't contract it again in the future. They can always contract the virus again if they have sex with someone who has it or they come in DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area of someone who has it.

Take care!

The virus is forever. There are over 100 different strains of HPV. Some strains do nothing to the body, some cause warts of the hands and feet, some cause warts of the genitals, and four types cause cervical cancer. Most of the time, unless you have visible warts, or bleeding after sex, you are not even aware you have HPV. It is usually detected on a routine pap test as abnormal cells, then further tested. You cannot believe everything on the internet.You immune system can keep HPV. Go see your gyno or your local health department. Good Luck!

Your low grade HPV infection was probably diagnosed via your Pap smear. This is just a sample of the cervix...sometimes the vaginal cell do get into the mix of cervical cells…. but most often the doctor is concentrating his sample of the transformation zone of the cervix.

Have you used any HPV treatments?

Low risk HPV is the cause of visible genital warts. Genital warts can have a co-infection of high risk HPV types.

HPV can cause abnormal cell changes of the vulva and the vaginal canal.

High-risk HPV types of the vulva usually itch and the vulva can be reddish brown or whitish, sometimes they do not cause any symptoms. It is sometimes more difficult to diagnosis High risk HPV of the vulva because it may have other disorders such as lichens sclerosis or just dermatitis. With my high risk HPV of the vulva I had better information and better results from a dermatologist.

Just as high risk HPV can affect the cervix vulva it also affects the vaginal. Your GYN most often see a vaginal HPV when he does the vinegar wash with your colposcopy.

Many gals with HPV have problems with yeast infections.

If it is yeast then your partner may need to be treated when you are.

Other things that my help with vulva irritations is…

No soap use no soap products
Rinse undergarments twice and use genital detergents…Ivory is a good one
Go commando at night let the vulva breath…thongs undies can irritate..
Aloe Vera can help with the irritation
Bath additive such as baking soda and Epsome salts help Baking soda helps with the PH and if there is irritation Epsom baths helps heal

There is no cure for the virus...many treatments to remove the manifestation that the virus can cause...abnormal cells or genital warts...Many people build immunity to the virus when this happens they no longer have warts and their Pap smear and HPV test are normal...sadly in some women years down the road HPV can reactive due to a weaken immune system.

Once warts or abnormal cells are removed we probably become less contagious with time of no return but no one can guarantee that we will never transmit our virus to a new sex partners.

I wish you well.

Answer 4

I dont have HPV, but vaginal burning doesnt sound normal. You should probably see another doctor, just to be safe.

Answer 5

It goes away or it becomes dormant, can't say. Two years is the period given.
Check it out, if there is another cause for this burning.
Good luck!
