A member asked:

If lsil is caused by hpv and genital warts why do doctors let it go away on its own and act like its no big deal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LSIL: Lsil is caused by hpv. But there is no cure for hpv and many times your immune system will clear the virus on its own. Given the likelihood of spontaneous resolution, and the fact that a pathology if lsil is benign, most gynecologists would not intervene.
