Absent Period, HPV

[Polly7272]

Hi,

I am really concerned and would love some feedback. I am 25 years old and have had irregular periods for the past 2 to 3 years. I found out last month that I have HPV which in turn has caused an abnormality in my cells. I am secluded to have a Colposcopy next month (and I am finding it hard to wait to ask these questions). I have not had my period for the past four months which far exceeds the delays in my menstrual cycle that I have experienced in the past. I have taken numerous home pregnancy tests and they have all came back negative which rules that out.
I suppose what I am looking to find out is dos anyone happen to know could this be an effect of having HPV? and/or could it be a sign that I have cervical cancer? ( I know I sound like a hypochondriac but I am starting to get worried). I would really appreciate hearing from someone who has experienced or is experiencing the same. :)

I think it is obvious the combination of self-induced stress and HPV are what's causing the issue.  That this is a direct sign of cervical cancer I think would be a stretch, not to mention nearly impossible to draw a conclusion on over the internet.  The only way to know is to go through with your exam.  In the meantime, take heart in the fact at that 90% of HPV can be cleared by the body (on it's own) within 2 years (and even faster by leading a healthy lifestyle).  It's good you have questions and I would encourage you to write them down and take them with you to your appointment.  The doc will appreciate this and it will be more productive for both of you and keep the appointment on track.  Write down the doc's comments and suggested reading (which he or she will probably give).  Best of luck.
