Hi
I got my HPV positive result in march of 2024 with 'low grade dyskaryosis' went for a colposcopy soon after that and it showed no abnormalities in the biopsy that was taken, so I was discharged from the service with my next screening to be planned in 3 years time. However, I'm worried as ive always had little bumps in the fold where my thigh creases into my pubic area on the right hand side and on the labia minora and majora. The bumps were there during my initial pap smear and when the biopsy was taken so i just assumed it was normal as the medical examiners didn't say anything (the medical practitioners who fitted my copper coil in 2023 also didn't say anything about the bumps on the area). But I've recently gotten a watery discharge that is clear but bad smelling and I swear i can feel more bumps in my thigh crease than usual. I haven't had sex or had a sexual encounter since 2021 so I must have a HPV strain that wont clear itself within 1-2 years and I don't know what I should do about testing. I can't afford to buy an at home kit to see if I still have HPV and google can't seem to give me a straight answer on whether I should be going for screenings yearly until the HPV clears or if I can ask my GP for a HPV test before my next pap smear.
Do the nurses or other HPV positive people know anything about this???
I appreciate you reading my post!
