Dealing with HPV and Lichen Sclerosus: Tips Needed

I was diagnosed with high risk HPV about 5 years ago. I regularly get paps and have had a few of the cervical biopsies. Recently I got some very small warts removed (ouch). I also have lichen sclerosus. Between the two my anxiety is high because of the risks...anyone have tips/pointers for either?

Hi I have high risk hpv too. What are the results from the biopsy? I had to get a leep procedure last summer and I have an appointment this month to follow up with another biopsy myself. It’s hard but as long as you make all of your appointments the better it is as you will treat any abnormal cells

hello! They came back as okay for me, I have another pap this August and it's always anxiety inducing. I stay on top of it pretty well though! What is a Leep procedure if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah they were coming out normal for me too but because it was going on for years they decided to do a leep procedure where they go in an take a thin layer of the cervics out for more testing and to remove the abnormal cells. Even after the leep I still have abnormal cells but now they said since I got the leep they are low grade. I’ll know more later this month. It is very anxiety provoking I know I was shaking on the table as they did it but I believe we will be okay. I pray on it every night.
