I was diagnosed w/ HPV about 4 years ago. My gyno didn't really tell me much about it & acted like it was no big deal. I've read a lot about it & posts on messages boards, but still have some questions.
First, is HPV the same as genital warts? My gyno said it is not & that I don't have warts, I have HPV.
I do have little wart-like things on the insides of thighs & around my vagina & I had these when she diagnosed me w/ HPV. From what I've read, they are supposed to grow in cauliflower-like clumps. Mine do not. They are seperate, raised, fleshy bumps. Also, when I was first diagnosed with them I did not have very many, but a couple of the ones that I had became very swollen & when I squeezed them they hurt & white pus & blood would come out, almost like a huge pimple.
Eventually, those went away, leaving only scars.
I still get a few bumps now & then but they don't swell or anything. Is this HPV, warts or what?
Has anyone else had warts or HPV that have swollen up like mine?
