A member asked:

I had cryosurgery for cancer causing hpv then had unprotected sex with my bf what are the odds of cell abnormality again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell: Cryosurgery can removes the surface lesions of hpv but like a cold sore you will still have the strain in your system & it can return to cause problems. Regular checkups with surveillance reduce your risks.
