threat to motherhood
I happen to have HPV of cervix. but dont know which type yet. my doctor advised me to leave it for 4-6 months and then go back and check the conditions. Of course I will do all the necessary things and do the surgery if I need it but ..
I forgot to ask her and please tell me, is this going to be problem for my future motherhood? Im not planning to get pregnant yet but I am very afraid that it will cause childlessness. Please Respond.
Thank you

hi
HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common virus that causes warts. When it infects the genital areas it can cause “genital” warts, and certain types of the virus cause abnormalities in the cells of the cervix (resulting in an abnormal PAP smear). Cervical dysplasia is one of the changes that can be caused by HPV. Some types of HPV are worse than others and may be associated with more serious conditions like cervical cancer in women. However, most of the time, the body’s immune system fights the virus and can prevent more serious problems associated with HPV.
HPV can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. Men do get infections with HPV. However most of the time the lesions are too small to be seen without a special examination using a weak acid similar to vinegar (don’t try this yourself.) Sometimes men get genital warts just like women do.
but please be assured after reading this that i had the same 25 years ago i did need to have treatment on my cervix which only took a few minutes and i have two teenage daughters so it wont effect your ability to get pregnant but you will need regular pap tests.
best wishes
