I am a 19 yrs old female who was diagnosed with hpv when I was 18 yrs old. Since being diagnosed, I have been treated for severe dysplasia (3rd stage). I had pre-cancerous growths on my cervix. I had a cone biopsy done back in june which removed all of the abnormal growths. However, when I went for my 3 month check up, new cells appeared. It appears that I now have first grade abnormal cells.
My question is, I have been informed that there is a chance I will not be able to have children or have natural childbirth ?? I was wondering if anyone out there could help me.
A second question I have is, how does a hysterectomoy prevent cervical cancer from coming back again ???
It seems every time I go to the doctor I get overcome with confusion and am scared. I just sit there instead of asking questions. I am too young to be going through, and it saddens me to see that there are many people like me out there. I am just thankful I live in canada were health care is free.
