A doctor recently wrote that most cervical polyps are caused by hpv and my practitioner said that polyps are not caused by hpv. which is true? obgyns?

HPV -abnl cervix: Hpv is definitely related to abnormal findings on pap testing and certain strains of hpv are associated with pre cancerous changes & cancer of the cervix. So much so that hpv testing is becoming more important than pap testing. Cervical polyps may be precancerous or contain a cancer but are often due to benign causes.

Not HPV: Vaginal warts are caused by hpv. Cervical polyps are not.
