Human paploma virus?!
Question:
Human paploma virus?
i've read that in some cases the virus will clear up without really affecting you too much! is this true? does anyone know a good web site to check out? i've been checked and i don't have any warts? so does that mean i can still become infertile?
Answers:
For most women the virus goes away on its own. Their bodies can basically "fight off" the virus. This isn't always true though. Since HPV is caused by a virus, and there are NO cures for viruses, some people will have HPV the rest of their life.
Also, HPV doesn't cause a person to become infertile. The ONLY way HPV could cause a woman to become infertile is if she develops cervical cancer from it and has to have a hysterectomy done. Once a woman has a hysterectomy done she can not have any more children.
You should still stay on top of your pap smears though, even if you have no signs or symptoms of the virus, like warts. Cervical cancer can only be detected by proper screenings like pap smears, so it's important that you stay on top of them. Good luck!
