[|Human|] Good evening...I was diagnosed with HPV in spring, 2011, I had a DaVinci hysterectomy in May, 2011. The following year, my Family Practice doctor did a pelvic but said pap was not necessary. In 2013, he said no pelvic/pap. This year, I insisted due to the HPV. He did a pap and it came back abnormal and sent me to a GYN who examined me and said come back in six months. I questioned since I no longer had a cervix, what could go wrong, so to speak, and he said vaginal cancer would be one of the possibilities. I m going for my re-check on Friday. In order to be well-informed, are there any questions I should ask or information you can share now...? FYI: I m finding another FP... Thanks, Lacey
[|AI|]  I, have gone through your query regarding HPV, and abnormal pap test result. Genital HPV infections are very common. Up to 80 percent of sexually active adults will get an HPV infection of the genital area at some point in their lives. In most cases, these infections do not cause symptoms. They can cause genital warts. In women with genital warts, the doctor will do a pelvic and rectal exam. A Pap smear will be done to look for microscopic pre-cancer or early cancer of the cervix caused by HPV.HPV testing is not routinely needed. If a PAP smear is abnormal or inconclusive, a DNA HPV test can help determine whether a woman has a higher risk of developing cancer. Women with strains of HPV that pose a higher cancer risk may need colonoscopy and biopsies. A woman with a low risk HPV strain probably will need only repeat PAP smears.
