Do you have smear tests each year?
That should be a start...Also has any of your partners or you sexual warts?
Go to a gyneacologist,he ll put your mind at ease.

Without beeing an expert on the subject I know this.
Genital warts are very common,itsa virus,the only way to detect if you have it is the pap test...If it shows irregularities (weird cells) etc they do some other tests....And if you have it they treat the warts by freezing and cutting them,or with laser...If its untreated it could lead to cancer..
Modern medicine hasnt found the cure for the virus ,just the warts(as far as I know) but I know of people cured with homeopathy,herbs and by completely stoping eating sugar,coffe tea and smoking(all these "feed" the warts)...

I know that I have hpv the non wart type and I have to go to the gyno every three months but I want to so that I can protect my reproductive future. Its high risk so I need to keep up with it. I thank god every day that I went when I was 18 and went and followed up.
