High risk HPV WONT GO AWAY PLEASE HELP ME
For 2 years I have had hpv and have had many biopsies and even the laser surgery. My pap smears came up normal sometimes but mostly ABNORMAL. I am losing my mind I am 23 years old and if this continues I dont see how I WONT get cervical cancer or other cancers. Please help me. There are HPV cures out there because my sister cured hers with natural remedies like apple cider vinegar. I need to know what you did to start getting normal pap smears again. I realize we might always have the virus but I want it to stop harming my body. Please any natural websites or experiences please tell me I am getting desperate. THis is all because my ex cheated on me. I hate him.
Don’t hate anyone look up AHCC gold on amazon
I had a skin abnormality just inside my anus which was discovered during a colonoscopy. My Dr. scheduled surgery for the next week. It was discovered that I have HPV. The surgery was successfull and benign. What I learned however scares me too. HPV makes me a candidate for cancer of the anus and the penis. I now have a colonoscopy every 6 months so as to catch anything unusual at the earliest possible. It’s the penis that is freakin me out. I completely shave my genitals so I can spot anything out of the ordinary immediately. I go to a specialist who thoroughly inspects my penis every three months. I just don’t want to take any chances. So far so good. Hang in there and just stay on top of it.

A wart on your penis would mean you have the low risk for cancer strain. If you had a wart in your anus, then its the low risk for cancer strain too. What makes you think that genital warts leads to cancer? This would be a surprise to me. A colonoscopy every 6 months is a bit extreme.
thank you for your encouraging words. I am taking a lot of vitamins to try and boost my immune system I hope it works.
Sorry - I meant to type only about 5% of CIN2 (moderate dysplasia) cases will progress into cancer.
Further to that - only about 12% of CIN3 (severe dysplasia) will progress into cancer. So, having HPV puts a person at risk yes expescially persistant infection, however the percentage of advancement is very low.
I also wanted to note (I should have said this earlier) but HPV infection in early 20 years olds is quite common and many doctors don't test for it because it will likely come back positive. Research shows that mild and moderate dysplasia often behave the same in under 25 years olds and most often will be cleared on its own and there is concern about over treating these dysplasias because of that. So the good news is that under 25 years olds, even with persistant HPV infection have a very low risk of developing invasive cancer from it. (this is not to say that you no longer need to keep on top of your paps or that you don't need to try and clear the HPV infection - just simply that it is encouraging that the risk is much lower for women under 25 as for some reason their bodies are more likely to fight the dysplasia than a women who is older)

The best action a person can take to try and clear an active HPV infection is, in general, living a healthy lifestyle. This includes: exercise, keeping stress to a minimum, eating lots of cruciferous vegetables (that include DIM, like brocolli, bok choy, kale, etc), rest, and avoiding irritants in the vagina, using pads instead of tampons and using condoms (even though they are only effective 70% of the time). In general, keeping your immune system as healthy as possible.
You are correct in the fact that the longer an HPV infection is active, the more likely it was cause dysplasia, however only a very small percentage of dysplasia will actually go on to develop into cervical cancer. Only 1% of all CIN1 cases will develop in cancer, and less than 50% of CIN2 cases will even progress to CIN3. Make sure to keep monitoring your paps and HPV status as well as doing what you can to clear and active infection.
