Thank-you for that information. I was kind of hoping that it wouldn't be that; since I have been with my husband for 12 years, and we both have been faithful (yes, I'm sure). So, I'm not sure how this would be contracted.

If it is, indeed HPV, do they form really large clusters? Like, I'm talking larger than the size of a quarter - inside the vagina? The extent of it is such that I don't seem to be able to keep a tampon in. My GP made a referral to a gyno only (didn't give me a cream or anything), but she did give me a script for antibiotics which I will begin today. Unfortunately, I can't get an appointment with the gyno until the end of May. Until such time, I'm not sure what my GP can do. Given this information, has it been your experience that, the more extensive the clusters, the more likely they are to "laser" them? If they do, how exactly is that done when they are internal?
