Should I take action? Pap test results showed higher than normal precancer cells, so it was thought to be HPV?

At each ob/gyn visit I assured the doctors that I had never had intercourse, yet they proceeded to perform 2 cryo cotorizations and were going to perform laser surgery when I asked if my treatment would be different if I did or didn’t have HPV. My doctor said that if I didn’t have HPV then I would just have to have paps 2-3 times a year to keep an eye on the cell levels. I told her again that I had never had sex (hard for her to believe since I am 23 and engaged). They ran the HPV test and it came back negative. I have spent months worrying about my health and future child-bearing, not to mention the pain of the procedures and their cost.What shoud I do now? I am unhappy with the way they handeled my situation, and no one else should have to go through this. How can I stop it from happening again?

Sorry to hear but simply see a different doctor for a second opinion.

You should not wait as you are risking your childbearing capabilities as well as you health. Ask a different doctor, explain the situation and the circumstances to the new doc and see what he/she says. See if he or she agrees with the other doctors prognosis and treatment.

There are options but the longer you wait the less the become. Besides, if your present doctor doesn’t believe you when you say you haven’t had sex, why should you trust them if they do not trust you. It’s not like it ultimately matters to him/her if you have had sex or not.
