I have read some of the threads on this. I have recently been told that I am hpv positive, no abnormal cells. However for the last 8 weeks I have been getting lower back pain, which penetrates into my pelvic and abdomen area. I spoke to the doctor about my results, the symptons iv had and my family history of cancer. She told me not too worry and that I would be called in for another screening test in a year. However, like many of you, my mind has gone into overdrive. I have to wait another year before they do a test. Alot can happen, surely there is something that can be done more regular to ensure it doesnt turn to cancer. I have to live with this worry now and hope that I dont get any other symptons.
There seems to be very little information on this HPV. Its not good when you look at the data and the link between HPV and cervical cancer. Why else have they started testing for this?
I havent been sexually active for 8 years. On doing my research, it says it can sit dormant for many years. I couldve got it 30 years ago, when I got married. I recently had hairloss and patches of alopecia. Then discovered that hpv is also linked to alopecia.
There's alot we dont know. But when you look at the statistics of cervical cancer and hpv, more needs to be done
