LSIL questions... cuz the internet tells me too many different things
I'm 21 yrs old and I got a letter from my Gyno telling me I have abnormal cells. I had my pap results faxed over and it looks as if theyre going to do a coloscopy on me to determine wheither i have LSIL or not... should I be worried? Does that mean I have cancer and am gonna die??
Im wondering especially where I could have picked it up from. WHat causes LSIL? Can LSIL be transmitted from person to person and how? Should I tell my last bf to get himself checked out?

LSIL is not cancer. It is a diagnosis of minor changes to your cerivix. Most of the time, this isn't treated, and the doctor will simply ask that you go for more frequent PAPs. In almost all situations, your bpdy will clear the infection and heal. But the frequent PAPs will allow doctors to treat you if there is progression.
HPV is the cause of almost all LSIL, and HPV is highly contagious. Without a HPV test, you can't know which strain of HPV caused your abnormal PAP. HPV does not often effect men, apart from the strains that cause genital warts. The are infected but mostly act as cariers of the disease without having any problems of their own.
Almost everybody will clear HPV a few to 24 months.

Oh... also does that mean I cant have sex with anyone? Is it a form of HPV that causes LSIL? Am I stuck with it for the rest of my life??
