Answer: In women, an increased risk of a persistent HPV infection is associated with: Early initiation of sexual activity Having multiple sex partners Having a partner who has had multiple sex partners Having sex with an uncircumcised man Because a pelvic exam is usually normal in women with cervical dysplasia, a Pap test is necessary to diagnose the condition.
Question: With cervical dysplasia, how are abnormal cells removed?
Answer: During LEEP, the doctor cuts out abnormal tissue with a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop.
Question: What are the treatments for cervical dysplasia?
Answer: Mild cervical dysplasia sometimes resolves without treatment, and may only require careful observation with Pap tests every three or six months. But moderate-to-severe cervical dysplasia -- and mild cervical dysplasia that persists for two years -- usually requires treatment to remove the abnormal cells and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Question: How is smoking linked to cervical dysplasia?
Answer: Among women with a chronic HPV infection, smokers are twice as likely as nonsmokers to develop severe cervical dysplasia, because smoking suppresses the immune system.
Question: What vaccines can help prevent cervical dysplasia?
Answer: Three vaccines -- Gardasil, Gardasil-9, and Cervarix -- have been approved by the FDA to help prevent infection with some types of HPV, including the types that cause most cases of cervical cancer. According to guidelines endorsed by the CDC and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, boys and girls both should be vaccinated between ages 11 and 12 before they become sexually active; those between ages 13 and 26 who have not yet received the vaccine should also be vaccinated.
Question: How can women lower the risk of getting cervical dysplasia?
Answer: Women can lower their risk of cervical dysplasia by avoiding the high-risk sexual behaviors associated with HPV infection, such as early sexual initiation and having multiple sexual partners. Sexually active women whose male partners correctly use condoms during every sexual encounter may have up to a 70% reduced risk of HPV infection.

Question: Are multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis different?
Answer: That's not so with multiple sclerosis.
Question: Is multiple sclerosis diagnosed earlier in life than amoytrophic lateral sclerosis?
Answer: It's usually discovered between the ages of 20 and 40. ALS is often diagnosed between 40 and 70.
Question: How does amoytrophic lateral sclerosis attack the nerve cells?
Answer: ALS breaks down the actual nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord. These cells, called motor neurons, are in charge of the voluntary muscles in your arms, legs, and face. You lose control of your motor functions, and as the motor neurons break down, the myelin sheaths harden.
Question: What is the prevalence of multiple sclerosis and amoytrophic lateral sclerosis among races?
Answer: MS is most common in Caucasians. ALS affects all ethnic groups equally.
Question: Are multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis inherited diseases?
Answer: ALS can be inherited, but MS can't. Up to 10% of ALS cases are passed down directly through genes. That's not so with multiple sclerosis.
Question: What are the later stage symptoms of amoytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)?
Answer: As ALS attacks the nerves that deal with movement, your symptoms will get worse. In the later stages of the disease, you can have: Slurred speech Shortness of breath Trouble breathing Trouble swallowing An inability to move (paralysis) Most people with ALS live 5 years or less after their diagnosis, but some live much longer.
Question: Does multiple sclerosis affect other parts of the body besides the nerves?

Answer: When you have MS, your body attacks the myelin sheaths in your brain and spinal cord. When myelin sheaths are damaged, signals from your brain to other parts of your body get short-circuited.
Question: What does amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis cause?
Answer: Sclerosisâ comes the Greek word for âscar.â Both ALS and MS cause scarring of the covering of nerve fibers. But the process of how that happens is different for each. Nerve cells in your body are wrapped in thin coverings called myelin sheaths. They protect these cells, similar to how insulation protects electrical wires.
Question: How long do people live after diagnosing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Answer: In the later stages of the disease, you can have: Slurred speech Shortness of breath Trouble breathing Trouble swallowing An inability to move (paralysis) Most people with ALS live 5 years or less after their diagnosis, but some live much longer. Research is underway to find treatments to extend and improve the quality of life.
Question: What are the differences between multiple sclerosis and amoytrophic lateral sclerosis?

Question: What should I do before checking my blood pressure?
Answer: Find a quiet place to check your blood pressure. You will need to listen for your heartbeat. Make sure that you are comfortable and relaxed with a recently emptied bladder (a full bladder may affect your reading). Roll up the sleeve on your arm or remove any tight-sleeved clothing. Rest in a chair next to a table for 5 to 10 minutes. Your arm should rest comfortably at heart level. Sit up straight with your back against the chair, legs uncrossed. Rest your forearm on the table with the palm of your hand facing up.
Question: What should I know about checking my blood pressure at home?

Question: How can Gardasil help prevent human papillomavirus (HPV)?
Answer: Gardasil prevents HPV-16 and HPV-18, which is responsible for 70% of all cervical cancers, as well as HPV- 6 and HPV-11, which are known to cause 90% of all genital warts. Gardasil 9 also protects against these four HPV strains, as well as five others.
Question: Are there vaccines for the human papillomavirus (HPV)?
Answer: Three vaccines are available to protect against the types of HPV that cause most cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal cancers. They are Gardasil, and Gardasil 9. They also protect against most genital warts. Whichever of these vaccines you and your doctor choose, you should stick with the same vaccine for all three shots.
Question: What side effects can the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine cause?
Answer: You could have side effects, but they should be mild. Most people who complain of symptoms after getting the HPV shot have minor issues like pain or swelling at the site of the shot, fever, headache, and nausea. Sometimes people faint after getting the HPV vaccine or any other vaccination. Sitting down after getting the shot can help prevent you from passing out.
Question: Does insurance cover the cost of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine?
Answer: Check with your insurance company just to be sure. If your family doesn't have health insurance or you're on Medicaid, you should be able to get the HPV vaccine for free through the Vaccines for Children ( VFC) program.
Question: How does the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine protect me for life?
Answer: However, even women who have received the vaccine should see their gynecologist regularly for a Pap test to check for cervical cancer, because the vaccine doesn't protect against all HPV types that can cause cervical cancer.
Question: When should you get vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV)?
Answer: The best time to get the HPV vaccine is before you've started having sexual activity. That's why the CDC recommends that both boys and girls get their vaccination at age 11 or 12, although they can get the vaccine as early as age 9. If you're 13 or older and you haven't already been vaccinated, you can still get the vaccine through age 26. Gardasil 9 can be given to both males and females until age 45. The Gardasil vaccine isn't recommended for people over age 26, because it hasn't been studied well enough in this age group.
Question: How safe are human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines?
Answer: The HPV vaccines were tested on thousands of people and shown to be safe before they were released to the public. These vaccines have been used for years now, and experts say the chance of them causing a serious reaction is very slim. The HPV vaccine does not contain mercury or the preservative thimerosal.
Question: Can the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine help if you already have the virus?
Answer: However, if you have one type of HPV, the vaccine may prevent you from getting another type of the virus.
Question: What is the recommended dosage for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine?
Answer: Whichever of these vaccines you and your doctor choose, you should stick with the same vaccine for all three shots. You need to take all three doses to be completely protected. You'll get the second shot about 1 to 2 months after the first, and the third shot 6 months after the first. Once you've started with a vaccine brand ( Gardasil or Gardasil 9), stick with it for all three shots.
