HPV and dysplasia - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Message Board

Hi all,

I just got back my diagnosis of mild dysplasia due to the HPV. Last time I had an inflammed cervix because of it. Let's just say that this last year has not been a picinic. My doctor recommended that I wait 3 months and come in for another biopsy. She said that most cases of mild dysplasia revert back on it's own. Has anyone had this happen or know someone who's had it happen? I am now taking 800 mcg of folic acid a day to try and prevent a leep or cryosurgery. Thanks.

It is true - if you boost your immune system and keep yourself healthy, the dysplasia will correct itself! That means eating right, cutting carbs & sugars, no smoking, taking vitamins DAILY, etc.

Yes, I've heard that your immune system will eventually take care of the dysplasia itself if you do like Kim said. Most of the time hpv clears itself up so don't worry...it will all be ok. If you need anymore help or someone to talk to then feel free to check out my post on HPV & Guilt. There are alot of people there who have helped with my questions and helped me deal with having hpv.

Believe it or not, HPV is not a death sentence - just a pain in the ---!!!

You'll be ok! Yes, it's a shock at first, but the it'll wear off and you'll be back to your normal self in no time. Just take good care of yourself, eat right, don't smoke (it causes cancer anyway), keep your immune system healthy and you should be AOK!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Be grateful it's just mild.. I had severe dysplasia and *did* have to get a LEEP. It's no picnic. ;p Like the others have said it's not a big deal after you get past the shock. Good luck to you
