Cervical dysplasia and HPVFrom: Jeannette (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 31 Jan 1998 14:51:24 -0600 (CST)
I have been dealing with cervical dysplasia for the past ten years, through two successful pregnancies. Diagnosis and treatment have included many colposcopies, two cryosurgeries and LEEP surgery (removal of cervical tissue with hot wire) in July 1997. Followup to that LEEP surgery has not been encouraging. Another pap and colposcopy biopsies have shown moderate to severe cervical dysplasia. My doctor suggested a cone biopsy or a hysterectomy. My doctor believes that my situation is probably caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Research has led me to some info about the HPV - that there are over 100 varieties of which maybe 3 have high malignant potential. If I have one of the varieties that does not have high malignant potential then I could see living with my uterus and returning for many pap smears a year. This seems reasonable to me. My doctor and their lab, however, don't seem familiar with the possibilities of typing my biopsies for HPV type. What do you think? Does anyone have information on this? Thank you!
