Question 1

if it takes 15 years for cervical cancer to develop after hpv infection, how long does it take for vaginal cancer to develop?

Accepted Answer

: The etiologies for the two cancers are different. If the mother took estrogens, the girl can get vagianal cancer at a young age without HPV exposure. If you have any concern, see your gynecologist for an evaluation.

Question 2

can cervical cancer develop within six months after hpv infection?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Cervical cancer from hpv is generally a "slow growing" disease and is detectable by yearly pap smears. Cervical hpv changes can also been seen at colposcopy.( microscopic exam ot the cervix and vagina).

Question 3

i read almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (hpv), the bc pill may stop the body from clearing the infection. can the bc pill stop clearing of hpv?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most women clear HPV on their own.
Even if you have HPV, you should get HPV vaccination to prevent other types of HPV viruses from infecting you.

Question 4

i did not have any sexual activity with anyone before i married my husband and my husband also did not have any sexual activity before got married me.can i get cervical cancer or vaginal cancer?am i at risk for hpv virus infection?

Accepted Answer

: Although HPV usually is sexually transmitted, some genital HPV infections are unexplained; or may occur from sexual activity short of intercourse. You're probably at lower risk than most persons, but not zero risk. You should follow guidelines for prevention, such as regular pap smears according to standard advice in Singapore.

Question 5

can a baby born to a mother with a high risk hpv virus infection(no cancer hpv infection only) that causes cervical cancer be infected with high risk hpv virus at birth or in the placenta?

Accepted Answer

: I have found no incidence of this happening in the scientific/medical literature.

Question 6

i have had hpv for 2 years. not any of the ones that cause cervical cancer. dr recommended colpos last year and this year for persistent hpv. no dysplasia. colps are painful for me. is it possible to just repeat pap in 6 months instead of colpos?

Accepted Answer

: With no dysplasia or other cellular changes related to HPV, continued watchful waiting -- follow-up paps alone without colposcopy -- might make sense. However, every case is different, and you should not make a decision based on this or any other distant forum opinion. Discuss with your doctor; if uncertainty continues, seek a second opinion from another ObG. Good luck.

Question 7

i am 36 & i had a normal pap, but hpv e6 e7 was detected. i didnt have one in years to know when it started. i bleed after sexual intercourse but only when its a few days before my period. can this be undetected cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

: If you had an otherwise normal pap, you do not have undetected cervical cancer.  Most people are able to clear the HPV virus on their own.  Important to practice safe sex, and to continue to have regular paps by your gynecologist.

Question 8

i'm 41 year old and recently had my pap smear. the pap smear came back negative but shows postive for, "hpv 18". do i have cervical cancer? can the hpv be cured?

Accepted Answer

: The presence of HPV does not indicate cancer. HPV is a virus that many people have. Occasionally it is cleared by the body. HPV has the potential to cause cancerous changes in the cervix over a period of years, so your doctor will recommend repeat pap smears to ensure this is not happening. Either way, this is very treatable. There is no cause for alarm or lost sleep.

Question 9

can the hpv (cervical cancer) jab hurt that you get in year 8?

Accepted Answer

IT IS NOT GIVEN AT 8: Yes the shot hurts but it is recommended to be given ages9to26.We usually start at age 11 years here in nj.

Question 10

how many new cases of cervical cancer per year in the u.s.? how many cervical cancer deaths per year? what percentage is from hpv?

Accepted Answer

Cervical Cancer Data: Estimated new cases and deaths from cervical  cancer in the United States in 2012:  new cases: 12, 170; 	 deaths: 4, 220. The age-adjusted incidence rate was 8.1 per 100, 000 women per year. Almost all cases of cervical cancer are estimated to be due to hpv infection. Even so, most women with this infection do not get cervical cancer. See: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/types/cervical.
