Re: endometriosis and hpvFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri May 13 18:53:20 2005
*sigh* HPV is not caused by nor does it cause endometriosis and any doctor who confuses the two should be immediately sent for a brain scan to see if there is any living tissue between the ears. Endometriosis is diagnosed via laparoscopic surgery and visual identification. HPV can be diagnosed with a vaginal swab or a swab of any of the other number of places that any of the hundreds of mutations and variations of HPV can be found including but not limited to your genitals, mouth, hands and feet. HPV, often thought to be an STD, can be contracted without sexual contact (this has been scientifically and medically documented many, many, many times despite some commonplace theories to the contrary). Having HPV is not evidence that you or your partner cheated, became infected and then infected the other person. HPV is a virus that is believed to be living silently in the bodies of nearly 100% of the human race what activates the virus in some people has not been established with 100% certainty but the belief is that stress, other illnesses or certain other immune-system conditions will trigger the dormant virus into an active state. Medications such as zovirax is used to control the outbreak and return the virus to dormant state. The same medication is used whether the type of HPV you have is genital herpes, common cold sore or chicken pox. All of which are HPVs. Gynecologists, family practice and general medicine doctors can easily diagnose and treat it. Endometriosis is a biological disease and the trigger or triggers are not 100% identified and determined thus the difficulty in establishing a reliable treatment protocol that works across the board with some sense of reliability and predictability. Reproductive Endocrinologists and skilled Laparoendoscopic Surgeons are who you need to seek treatment from.
