I'm a teenager whose had sex and I need help?

I know I have genital warts...no I haven't been to a doctor but I know what they look like and I have them...I was wondering if you knew if a person has them inside the vagina lips and further up if that means I have cervical cancer? And does cervical cancer lead to ovarian cancer? I can't go to the dactor cuz I have no car and I only have a home phone meaning my mom could answer and know what's goin on...I've known that I've had them since like the middle of june...and I've had a vibrator used on me when I was drunk and I was wondering if someone had used it b4 and had gw could I have gotten it from that?

OK, so you have some growths on your vagina. First advice : Do not self diagnose. They may or may not be genital warts. Such growths may be a result of herpes, HPV-The Human Pappiloma Virus, or something as simple and silly like as a result of waxing your pubic area. If they are really itchy and they come and go, it is more likely that it may be herpes. It can also be really warts, caused by HPV. HPV has two types, high risk and low risk and the type that causes genital warts is the low risk type. When I say low risk, that is low risk for cervical cancer. Yes, certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer but it takes a lot more than a few months for HPV related cell changes to turn into cancer. So you don't have cancer. The fact that you have wart-like things inside your vagina does not mean they are cancerous. The only way to detect any cell changes including displasia, cancer or simple cell abnormalities is to have a PAP Smear. If there is any abnormality with cells, including precancerous growth, etc. it will show up in a pap smear test. If they do find any abnormalities, they perform a highly sensitive HVP test (as far as I remember, it is a PCR test) and they will tell you whether you have HPV or not and what type. If those things you describe are really warts, they are almost always, if not always, caused by HPV and are treatable.





What you really should do is go to a doctor. If you don't want your parents to find out, go with someone you really trust. But go to a good doctor, and find out what is going on. If they are not warts, find out what they are. If they are warts get tested for HPV and by doing that, if you find out that you are HPV positive, you can save your own life by getting the proper attention like regular pap tests, etc. to avoid any potential risk for cervical cancer in the future because yes it is not very likely, but if you do indeed have HPV, it is an increased risk for cervical cancer.





And remember alcohol and sex is a bad combination. I have had pretty darn bad experiences with that combination myself. Remember, I am not your parent, not your friend, not someone who is trying to be annoying, and not someone you will ever meet, so when I say don't mix alcohol and sex, it can't be anything but a friendly advice from someone who has had to learn some lessons the hard(er) way... Be more careful and responsible... for your own good.
Reply:you need to go see a Doctor
Reply:No the virus takes years to cause cancer. You need to go to a doctor for treatment, though.
Reply:You need to address the bigger problem of why you are getting drunk and having sex. You're going to continue to have problems until you get yourself straightened out.





Anyway, about the genital warts ... take a look at these Google web search results. There is lots of good information there:

You need to talk with your mother, and you do need to go to a doctor. Your mother should be available to help you, and you need her help in a time like this. We parents are used to helping our kids through tough times, and this is one of those times. Please do talk to her, and ask her to take you to a doctor.





Good luck!
Reply:you really should double check that gw is what you have; in other words, GO TO A DOCTOR. gw can grow inside and outside of the lips and grow all the way inside up to your cervix; that doesnt mean that you have cervical cancer. you only have an std, they dont morph into other diseases. same goes for ovarian cancer, cancers are all different, they dont become one cancer in the different parts of the body. you can never be too sure, but i'm almost 100% positive that the vibrator didnt give you gw. gw's can only be spread by coming into direct contact with the source of the disease (oral, intercourse, etc.) not to get personal, you really should consider talking to your mom about this. even though she'll be upset to hear you didnt wait, she'll be more concerned about getting you "fixed"/healthy again and happy that you came to her in a serious time of need. good luck.
Reply:Whoa! You really need to go to a clinic or something and get checked. You may have GW or Herpes or something even worse, but u shouldnt be guessing that u have GW if u havent been to the Doctor. Yeah you may looked at some pics of Genital warts and it looks just like what u think u have but it doesnt mean thats what u have. The Dr needs to examine you and then u will know exactly what it is. Yes GW can spead from your vaginal lips and cause cervical changes and it can turn into cervical cancer and women have died as a result so this is serious.Yes u absolutely could have contracted an STD from that vibrator. Please go and see a Doctor.
Reply:U really need to talk to ur mom because u need to go to a dr and get some medical attention. It would be better to tell her and get it out of the way than wait till u have a terminal cancer and she can't help u. Every body is different. Some people will never develop cancer, some will. In some people it will move very very slowly, and some people will have it so quick they didn't know what was happening. U need a dr, and if I was ur mother, I would want to know so I could help my child.
Reply:I would go and speak to your mother about this stuff. She has a right to know then asking strangers about this issue. I know you would like some help. However, I would like to tell you that your mother would care if you would tell her if you had sexual intercourse and have to go see a doctor. It's not your fault for sexual diseases. It's was your partners. After you speak to your mother. I would advise you to abstain from Sex until your Marriage Bed. You would be more Healthier and more Happier that way.
Reply:genital warts CAN lead to other things, but the real issue here is that you need to talk to an adult in your life that you trust, and you NEED to go to a doctor. Having them doesn't automatically mean you HAVE cancer, of any kind, but with a Dr.'s care, you can be Pro-active, and make sure you don't get anything as a cause of the warts. I would also suggest, that as a teenager, you should perhaps not be drinking, because you are ill equipped for the problems that arise from it. As for how could you have gotten them from the vibrator? Well if it was previously used by an infected person, and not cleansed properly, that's how. Not only do you need to see a doctor for the warts, but you should be tested for other STDs, because there are many that don't even show signs, until it's too late, and you are unable to have children, scarred, and in some cases, on the road to death. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and AIDS, to name a few.
Reply:You should go to a clinic. Or call a treatment hotline.
Reply:Sweetie, if you were drunk and you didn't want to have sex that is considered rape. You should talk to some one right away.


As with any type of STD if it is ignored for a long time the germs and viruses that cause them can cause a host of other illnesses and diseases and may even effect your insides and prevent you from having kids later on.


This may not seem big right now because you are young but for the future most guys want to settle down with or marry a girl who can have kids. You might grow up and realize you want kids, but by then it might be too late.


I know it is embarrassing but you should have one of your parents take you to the hospital or see a school nurse or guidance counselor.
