i think i have cervical cancer because my mom died of it, i have had 2 abnormal paps in the past 2 years and i have all the symptoms but tested negative for hpv. the earliest the doc can do a colcoscopy in march 26th. will it spread before then?
cervical cancer is not genetic and therefore just because your mother had it does not put you at increased risk for it. i am so sorry about your mother. an abnormal pap with a negative hpv has a very low risk for developing into cancer. in addition it takes years for low or even high grade pre cancerous lesions to turn into cancer. waiting will be ok. see more...
yes, if you marry this dude and no one ever cheats. but still, why not protect yourself? get the vaccine so you are totally safe. i hope your boyfriend is always faithful but you never know, things happen. this vaccination is supposed to be given before the age of 25 years, i think. i do not know of a test for hpv for men anyway at this time. it is very very contageous and running rampid. my step-daughter was not promiscuous and she found out she had hpv after she was married. who really knows where her husband got it? and it doesn't matter they have a good marriage. anyway, he has no symptoms but she has had to have surgery. i wish we would have known about this vaccine or it would have been available when she was younger. i would have made sure she got the vaccine when she was in my care as a teenager. then, she would not have ever had to suffer. she has a daughter and will make sure she is vaccinated. the vaccination is a blessing and only provides protection. be thankful it is available and get it.

ok valid answer - here is a copy of an article and if you are 26 you can still get it:
 
human papillomavirus, a disease that causes 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts cases, is most common for people in their late teens and early twenties, according to the centers for disease control and prevention web site.

"if i were a 26-year-old who had never had intercourse or had never been exposed to the virus, i'd get the vaccine," said dr. roger yandell in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the texas tech health sciences center. "it definitely has more impact on younger girls, though. the cervix changes during menarche, a girl's first period. that's when it's most susceptible to the virus, so we try to start the vaccine just before that takes place." 

the advisory committee on immunization practices consists of 15 experts - selected by the secretary of the u.s. department of health and human services - who provide advice and guidance to the cdc. the committee recommends women through age 26 years old receive catch-up vaccinations, according to the cdc web site.

"you have to look at what we're trying to treat," yandell said. "cervical cancer is really what we're talking about here, and on a lesser scale, genital warts. this is the most common disease for causing either of those." Sometimes yes. But let your doctor know. grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. Go to a gynaecologist who will evaluate her both clinically and by certain test like thyroid profile pelvic ultrasound, hsg for any anomaly in the uterus or tubes. General and pelvic infection to b treated if any. You may require hormonal and immunological test to know the answer. i am 26 years old and have the same problems, i have had all the testing, let me know what you hear.thanks! after 8 week u can go for scan dear bev<br><br>it is important to note that a miscarriage is not a totally uncommon phenomenon and therefore i would not at this stage be overly concerned about investigations. if however 2 or more consecutive miscarriages occur then further investigations will be necessary. also if no conception has taken place after attempting for 9 months then a laparoscopy may be considered but is not always necessary as there are other investigations that need to be done prior to this. a laparoscopy involves an anaesthetic and admission to hospital and is not entirely without risk. <br><br><br><br>answered by: dr.m.i. cassim<br> sorry about your diagnosis. i too was given the diagnosis of pof this past february, after a failed ivf cycle. i was told that my only chance to have a successful ivf cycle would be to use donor eggs. so that is what my husband and i are doing next month. i have regular monthly periods though, apparently unlike you. if you truly have a diagnosis of pof, there are not any fertility medications that will make it possible for you to create a genetic family. sorry. it's a fact. you can use the strongest fertility stim meds at the highest doses, and it won't do you any good. furthermore, having a period does not mean that you're ovulating...which is exactly the point of having pof. there is no pharmaceutical way, nor technological way available right now to provide the opportunity for a woman who has pof to have her own eggs retrieved. perhaps you were mistaken with what your diagnosis was? i would ask your re again. best of luck to you. if you have any further questions, please feel free to email me. i am here to provide support for you as well.
addtl info: i just realized that you stated that you aren't able to get into an re until june 2nd. so who gave you the diagnosis of pof? i suppose your gyn? not meaning to knock your doctor, but the reality is that a gyn is simply not educated enough nor specialized enough to make this diagnosis. coming to the conclusion of pof is made via blood work and exams. also, it usually is made only after a round of stim meds fails miserably. i suggest you get a real diagnosis when you see an re. you probably simply will find that you just need a some clomid to help "kick start" your period. but that's a far cry from actually having pof. that sounds rough, i am sorry you aren't feeling well. my advice is just go to a different hospital to get a different view on your situation. please don't hold off on it, this problem really needs to be taken care of. yes you should be able to. you will be thoroughly checked before being allowed to donate.<br/><br/>best wishes
