HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) COMMUNITY
Mild Displaysia

Mild Displaysia

So I was at work today and decided to get more information on what i think is hpv that i have. my doctor told me i have a mild form of displaysia/lees ons on my cervix. i want to mention when i was 8 my dads sister (my aunt) died of cervical cancer. today when i spoke with a nurse on call (to bring up my charts and tell me exactly what strain of hpv i have) she told me i dont have hpv, i have mild displasyia. my main question is what or whos word do i go by? im confused and right now im sick to my stomach thinking about it all.

Have you obtained a copy of your medical records? If not, I would encourage you to do so. My thoughts are is that either the nurse is not informed in regards to cervical dysplasia or the doctor performed an HPV test and it was negative - which isn't to say you don't have HPV it just means the virus isn't active and that would indicate the dysplasia will likely soon regress. (mild dysplasia most often clears on it's own without any medical intervention)
Your initial instinct is correct, HPV is the causitive factor for cervical dysplasia. Mild (CIN1) dysplasia can be caused by either low risk (strains that have the potential to cause genital warts) HPV and high risk HPV (strains that have the potential to cause cancer). However, moderate (CIN2) and severe (CIN3) dysplasia is caused by high risk HPV. I would first find out whether or not an HPV test was performed. Most often, it isn't tested for until a woman is over 30 as most women younger than that will test positive anyway.
