Result says high risk HPV detected, cytology normal, come back in a year. I do not understand what I am waiting for.
Undetectable for four years on tablets. Clinic mentioned injectable treatment every two months. Tempted, but nervous about giving up something that works.
Diagnosed and treated last month. I am not trying for a baby yet but I want to know whether I have damaged something permanently.
Given a course and told absolutely no alcohol, including for days afterwards. A pharmacist friend says the interaction is largely a myth. Who is right?
Treated this afternoon, and by evening I had chills, a headache and felt like I had flu. Is this an allergic reaction? Should I be going…

Found them in the eyebrows. Do I use the same lotion higher up?
First outbreak, and I am in the last stretch of pregnancy. I have an appointment but not for days and I am frightening myself reading.

Treated well over a year ago. The number dropped and then stopped at a low level and has not moved across two tests. My doctor used…
Third screen, same type detected each time, cells still normal. They have used the word persistent and I do not know how alarmed to be.
Diagnosed with warts, never vaccinated. Is there any point getting the vaccine now, or has that ship sailed?
Had the injection, and the site has been aching and hard for several days. Normal or worth going back?
