I have HPV. I was diagnosed with it the past spring and had to LEEP procedure to laser out some abnormal cells on my cervix. Since then, I've had sex with my new boyfriend. however, I'm been incredibly irritated since we started having sex. I noticed a tiny red bump right near my vaginal opening and my right vaginal lip has been swollen. My lips have always gotten swollen though ever since I first got my period. I never thouhgt much about it. is this simply a wart from the HPV strain? From what I've read online, it doesn't match the description. I have a follow up pap test in a month so I don't want to make another appointment to get this checked out. I don't want to scare my boyfriend either because I told him I have HPV but that I've never had an outbreak. is this an outbreak or something else?
the strains that causes cervical issues that cause women to get a LEEP done, are almost always high risk strains. warts are caused by low risk strains of the HPV virus. it could be irratation from the latex condoms or the lube, herpes, or HPV only your doctor can say for sure.
