A member asked:

Cervical high risk hpv caught early, but how do i know it hasn't spread through my vagina or elsewhere?

See your doctor: If your doctor recently found the high risk early HPV via pap smear it is unlikely to have spread elsewhere. Once you see your doctor they will probably make recommendations to remove the pre cancer and continue to screen you for any more suspicious areas. Good luck.

Germ behavior: There are hundreds of strains of HPV and each has carved out it's own favorite territory. Genital strains of HPV stay there.The wart strains like the outer tissue of the labia or penile shaft, while the strains associated with cervical cancer like that tissue. It does not enter your blood to go to other parts of the body.These are issues which you can discuss with your doc at your follow up visits
