Do I have HPV on my mouth and in my vagina?
I believe I contracted HPV about a year ago. I need to go to the doctor but their next available appointment is a ways off. So for a year the “symptoms” have been dormant aside from insatiable itching and an urgency to pee. When I was tired or hadn’t eaten those issues would act up but when I was well rested and eaten I would feel normal again. My vagina also is just wetter then normal and has a tendency to smell foul. Anyways it’s not a UTI, yeast infection, chlamydia, gonorhea, syphallis, or HIV because all those tests came back negative. Now two weeks ago I noticed that inside my labia in a very moist part of my vagina I have a small painless white bump it almost looks like a pimple right before it pops. Over the past weeks little filaments that are small tubular and pink have been appearing all around the area. Then at the bottom of my vagina near the opening I have even more of those little growths in clusters. None of it hurts or even itches. But I’m pretty sure it’s HPV, I also woke up this morning and found that I have little bumps all over my top lip too. I guess my question is, is this HPV both on my vagina and lips? Does HPV cause symptoms listed above? And how do I treat it?
Hi. Yes, the bumps in your genitals sounds like HPV genital warts. Don't wait to see your GYN. Do it asap because the sooner that they are gone, the sooner you will recover from this. Women can get tested for HPV. Although you see evidence of the low risk strains (warts), this does not mean you don't also have the high risk for cancer strains. Please get tested now. Waiting makes no sense unless you have to due to medical plan.
The ones on your top lip could be oral HPV or not. You should always start with your dentist and ask for an oral exam. If warranted, your dentist will send you to an oral surgeon to remove them and biopsy them. You could also go to an ENT doctor but most people start with a dentist or just go to an oral surgeon if they think they have oral warts. If they are warts, they need to be removed. Oral cancer is a big deal but its very curable. Hopefully they have not spread into your throat.
Good luck. Seek medical treatment for both asap. The sooner you get these bumps removed, the sooner your recovery can begin. HPV is a very common STD. 8 out of 10 sexually active adults have it. Half of them don't know they have it because they have no bumps. For most people, the bumps go away for good after treatment. For some, they keep returning. You should not have sex until you know what you have and are recovered for at least 3 months. If its oral HPV, don't kiss anyone or share drinks or share cigs or utensils. If its genital HPV, you are infectious and you will infect someone who may not have it should you have sex with them. Right now, your good health is more important than your sex life.
Good luck!
