Question 1

Should i get a hysterectomy to prevent any more hpv outbreaks? i do not want any more hpv drama and it has made me very depressed. i am 24 yr old

Accepted Answer

Consult with your gynecologist & seriously consider counseling with a psychiatrist or psychologist. Hysterectomy does not cure HPV which can affect more than your uterus. Sympathies for your HPV problems which are making you depressed but both problems need to be addressed. Good Luck

Question 2

2nd pos high risk hpv pap in 6 months. sex active 64 yo. hysterectomy recommended - could not get cervical tissue for biopsy in august. other options?

Accepted Answer

The typical evaluation of an abnormal pap smear is to first do an examination under a microscope called a Colposcopy. If any abnormalities are seen then a directed biopsy is done. If for some reason a biopsy could not be done then a loop excision procedure (LEEP) would typically be done if there was clinical concern before jumping to hysterectomy

Question 3

In 2007 i had hpv i did chemio and readition  and in 2010 i had a hysterectomy and   pryer  to that i had a ballard tape done to  is they any way i  c?

Accepted Answer

The only way to conceive would be if you still have your ovaries and just had the uterus remove. Then you could use ivf to remove your eggs and place the embryos in the uterus of another woman (gestational carrier). However given your age the pregnancy rates would be very lower and likely made lower by any effect of radiation and chemotherapy on the ovaries.

Question 4

I'm 46 have had a hysterectomy recently found to have hpv my problem is my areolas have pain when anything is brushed up against them?

Accepted Answer

Most likely the painful areolas are due to hormonal changes related to your age.  They have nothing to do with hpv.

Question 5

After hysterectomy and vulvectomy, can hpv still cause cancer in these areas?

Accepted Answer

HPV has the potential to cause cancer on remaining vulvar tissue as well as vaginal mucosa.  Periodic exams by your physician are important for followup, especially if your history includes former cancer related to HPV.

Question 6

Is there an alternative for severe stage 2 cystocele other than mesh? i am an athlete, mom of 4, post hysterectomy from hpv 4 yrs, & only 36. help!

Accepted Answer

Mesh is definitely not your only option.  Doctors can suspend vagina wall from the inside/abdomen as well.  If it were me, and i were 36 years of age, i would not recommend vaginal mesh in you.  You are way too young.  Of course pessary is an option too, in the meantime while you make a decision.  Or for long term. See a urogynecologist, board certified, to make sure you are in the best hands.

Question 7

Colonoscopy = hpv, pap smear = hpv, waiting on dr. referral but very confused and scared.  have had hysterectomy 6+ years ago.  advise?

Accepted Answer

Learning about your health issues and problems early can make you do the right things. You can take precautions and can remain well. Do not be scared of HPV, now that you have it, because it often resolves if your immune system is healthy. More than 90 percent of such infections disappear with time. So live well now, eat healthy and exercise daily . This is all part of adopting a Healthy Lifestyle

Question 8

Pap smears and hpv always came back normal. had a complete hysterectomy in 2009 due to fibroid tumor. do i still need to have paps done yearly?

Accepted Answer

According to acog and other national societies after a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix (and no history of high grade pre-cancer); there is no value to continue paps.

Question 9

My mother had cervical cancer caused by hpv. she later had a hysterectomy at age 34 after i was born. is it possible i contracted hpv from her?

Accepted Answer

HPV is transmitted through intimate skin-to-skin contact. You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Pl see link to CDC's info page on HPV infection for details.

Question 10

I am a 44 year old woman. i have the hpv virus and had a hysterectomy 6 years ago- kept my ovaries. i am having night sweats and hot flashes so i beli?

Accepted Answer

Several possible causes, but at age 44 impending menopause would be near the top of the list. You need evaluation, a minimim of some focused blood testing, to say for sure. The hpv isn't a factor.
