Interesting case. You don't mention the HPV Typing, though. Assuming it was NOT high risk HPV, I recommend Paps only.

If it were high high risk HPV, I would culpo (and biopsy PRN) q6mo.

25 year old with a 10+ year history of abnormal paps, she had a cryo in 1997 [after her first baby she had at age 14] had a cone in 2002 for CIN II, Since the cone she has had four more abnormals we’ve just been following with colpo-she had vaginal wall condyloma –we thought- biopsy was VAIN I.

Last paps was ASC-US w/ (+) HPV-then she had two normals in a row [first in her lifetime!] – now I just got another ASC-US /(+) HPV back on her.

Now she’s a G 2 P 2002, may want one more baby, how would you manage this uninsured patient? My back-up gyn asked me to get an opinion. Last colpo was adequte, but with two prior procedures, we are unsure about continuing pap/colpo conservative mgmt in this patient. [yes, I’ve given her Gardasil] TIA, Marilyn

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
