Question about HPV and cervical cancer?

[sarah lane]

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I received a routine pap smear. It came back postitive and my OB/GYN told me I have HPV. She did a colposcopy and found that I had precancerous cells in my cervix that would need to be frozen -- but not until after I gave birth.

I moved out of state and did not see that doctor again and put all of that out of my mind. My current OB/GYN said my pap came back positive and told me the same thing about HPV. I had another baby six weeks ago and recently noticed a large lump in my vulva.

Could this be a genital wart? I know HPV causes warts. Or could it be something worse, as I did nothing to treat the STD for the past two and a half years?

Sounds like it could be genital wart. But please go to the gyne and get checked out. The longer the HPV stays active in your body the more likely it is to develop in to cancer. I worked for a gyne for many years and have seen this happen, this is something that you can prevent, please go to the gyne.

i would go to the doctor so that it can biopsied, genital warts present as cauliflower like growths not lumps...i am not trying to scare as i am sure you are already.....pre-cancerous cells are very serious as they can turn to cancer in a matter of months....
this is something that should have been done as soon as you were cleared post-partum....i was a nurse ob/gyn for many years and i think you should call your ob/gyn and demand to be seen asap!
