A member asked:
Could a hx of abnormal paps, high risk hpv, increase risk of ovarian cysts being cancerous? lg cysts 4-7 cm, frequent urination, severe pain/pressure
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No increased risk: Unlike cervical, anal, and vulvar cancer, ovarian cancer is not caused HPV, and there is no evidence that the risk of overian cancer is any higher in women with HPV, either high or low risk types. Presumably you're in the care of a gynecologist for the ovarian cysts. Continue to follow up as directed and follow her advice. Good luck!
