Given your description of the menstrual period being late for 10 days and the light spotting on the expected date of menstrual onset, it seems that you may be experiencing a hormonal disbalance. Sometimes, due to various reasons, estrogens and progesterone blood concentrations in woman’s body change from their normal values thus leading to cycle variations, spotting and break-through bleeding. It is advisable that you consult with your gynecologist, to have bloodwork, swabs, PAP and maybe even an ultrasound done, in order to find out the cause of this. However, a change of cycle as well as an excessive bleeding is not HPV related.

But, it might be essential that you check the situation with the HPV. Papanikolau test (PAP test) should be performed regularly, in order to check for oddly-changed cells on the cervix. Your gynecologist might also examine the surface of the cervix by microscopy, called colposcopy.

Not every type of Human Papilloma Virus causes cancer and precancerous lesions. Only certain of the types are cancerous, such as types: 18, 31, 33, 35, etc. You might also want to find out what type of HPV you carry…and you should consult on how to increase your immunity, anyway (to keep the HPV in “sleeping mode”).
