Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It does not appear to be an urgent matter. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
