Hpv and cervical cancer?
my mom was recently diagnosed with hpv; doctor said at her age with hpv, there is a higher likelihood of cervical cancer. does hpv usually lead to cervical cancer? i heard a very small percentage of women with hpv get cervical cancer but i'm not sure, im a little worried. Additional Details she does have the high risk strain; her pap smear came back normal but tested positive for hpv. her dr. told her to get a pap smear every 6 months and gave her tips to help strengthen her immune sytem. thanks for all the kind words and helpful answers, i really appreciate it, it's helped me lessen my worries a bit.
I know how scary this must be for you. I myself have HPV and yes it can lead to cervical cancer. I have the "High risk type" and if it was left untreated it definitely would of been cancer for me. I caught it early enough to have it treated and i am on the road to recovery.
Your mom should know if she has the high risk type or not my dr. told me 2nd apt. and if she needs treatment for it because it CAN go away on its own.
here is a link and it answered all my questions!! check it out

Hmm my source is OPRAH lol...... I was watching the show on Oprah about HPV... there are over 20 different kinds of HPV "strands". 3 of them actually lead to cervical cancer, and the rest do not. You should find out the specific number she has and research it. HPV is the most common STD and over 80% of women will be exposed to it at one point or another..... If it is not one of the 3 BAD strands then most of the time the virus clears on it's own. I'm sure her Dr. has discussed the new vaccination. I wouldn't worry too much.

HPV is a precursor, or fist sign of extremely high risk to develop cervical cancer. Search on Webmd and it will tell you what you need to know in pretty easy terms to understand. Your mom needs to be sure to follow up with her doctor regularly and get more frequent pap smears,etc. If your mom stays current with exams and surveillance, she can be OK. Cervical cancer is one of the more easily treatable cancers, with a high cure rate, if that were to happen to her. Let's hope and pray for the best, that it will not develop in her.
