Question: Question for an OBGYN to answer!. HPV in a patient who has had a complete hysterectomy!?
My mom had a complete hsyterectomy 1 year ago!. Recently, she went to the doctor for her annual pap smear!. The test revealed some shocking results- the pap smear came up positive for high risk HPV!. The lab techs who did the tests were shocked because, as you know HPV is an infection of the cervix!. My question is, how can this be infecting her if she has a complete hysterectomy!? The lab also stated that squamous intra-epithelial cells were detected!. How can something like this be treated!? Can someone give me an explanation!. They are running more tests on her in the next upcoming weeks, but, being a pre med student I am very interested in how this can be!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
