Vaginal biopsy
Does anyone know the meaning of this biopsy result? (Benign markedly Hyperplastic vaginal squamous mucosa showing atypia suggestive of an hpv effect) is this a contagious condition ? Does this mean i have hpv? Or been infected? Doctor said it’s not condyloma (genital warts) but clearly something infected my cells for them to be abnormal right? These bumpy growths showed up at the entrance of my vag and it has been there for 4 months now. I had full std testing and everything was negative. Had two biopsy’s done and they both said the same thing. My pap was normal. My doctor just said it’s not warts just Hyperplastic tissue i have. I’m really concerned about what caused it & if it’s something i have to deal with forever because it’s very discomforting . I’m at a standstill.. Can anyone help ?

While I'm not an expert and any time we get a result, we can ask either the tech/doctor who read the test results of the doctor who order the test questions about those results. So, call them for a full answer. But the word benign is telling. That means harmless (basically). That's a good word to see in any report. Benign also means noncancerous. I really don't know though if it is telling you that you have hpv which is genital warts. Those are common. Those are contagious. But if your doctor said it is NOT warts, you either believe that or get a second opinion. Let us know how it turns out.
