HPV: We don't do c sections for non genital hpv and even with the genital hpv, we only do it if the warts appear to be severe and or obstructive to the birth canal. I have not seen any issues in babies born to mothers of non wart hpv. In the us we think as many as 35% of women by age 25 have this form of hpv.

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?
