I had similar. Small laser treatment and now clear. I’ve had 2 kids since, no problems. Lots of women have this with no issues long term, please don’t worry too much.

Don't something like 80/90% of people have HPV? I do and it's not caused me any issues. It was picked up on a smear when I was around 18 and I have them like clockwork. I had issues when I was younger but that's gone for now. I really don't think you should give it any more thought Thanks

Yup. I had abnormal cells and HP in my 20s. The important thing is that your daughter went for her smear and it has been picked up.
Now that it's been identified, they'll keep an eye on your daughter. Small little lazer treatment and a punch hole biopsy, by a nurse practitioner at the local hospital and all good now. Try not to worry. It's unlikely to turn out to be anything awful.

Not caused significant issues, I mean. I had an abnormal cells at a time and they've not come back.

The vast majority of women in their 20s and up have HPV. It comes and goes. I’ve had abnormal cells checked twice, no treatment needed, HPV is now dormant again. It’s very common. Try not to worry until there’s something to worry about.

Hi just read bearess 1978 message about daughter having HPV after first smear. Same thing has happened to my 25 yr old daughter. She went for a colposcopy and it came back inconclusive so has to wait 6 months for a repeat. I am so worried that she should have to wait 6 months . Is this normal?
