Hpv and Children

teressa81 · 07-27-2001, 06:47 PM

I'm 20yrs old and have had Hpv since my 18th birthday.
I have been seriously thinking about having kids with my fiance'.
I'm scared though all the doctors said I would not be able to bear children or have to have a c-section if I had and children.
I want to have children but I do not want them to have to deal with the terrible effect of HPV.
Will I be able to have healthy kids. I want to have kids, but I am scared that if this can be passed to them I dont want them to have to deal with this.

Your post was confusing. You said: "doctors said I would not be able to bear children". ?????

My wife apparently had HPV and broke out with warts when when she became pregnant. She was treated and had two normal vaginal births. There were no problems.

I doubt you'll have any problems either.

Yes the doctors said there was a slight possibility that I would not be able to bear children.
I have had many(8) cryo surgeries and biopsies, so I am not sure how I will hold up if I do ever get pregnant.

There must be other reasons your doctor said there is a slight chance you can bear children...maybe some severe endometriosis or something? Generally, even with biospsies and the like you can still bear children if you have HPV. And newborns do not always get it from the mothers either. Get a good book on the topic or research it more.
