Very worried
6 months ago i had my annual pap smear and it came back abnormal. The doctor called me and let me know that i had a yeast infection and that she wanted to get that cleared up and then perform another pap smear. When i went back into the doctor the test she ran was not a pap smear (i was so freaked out i didnt ask too many questions), but told me that everything looked normal and told me to come back in 6 months to make sure everything was still ok. I assumed that I was HPV free.
Recently, i noticed two bumps in my anal area. These are not wart in shape, but flap-like. They remind me more of skin tags than the genital warts i have seen online. I have never had any sexual anal activity. Could these still be warts? I am going back to the doctor on 2/28, but i would like some peace of mind before then. I am really freaking out!

ok i get it now.....did she do a colposcopy?that is staining the cervix and peering up inside at what stained area shows?then they pinch a tissue sample for biopsy and send to lab if warranted.well hon take comfort in her telling u everything looks normal and just follow thru with treatment.that is the thing with this staying on top with the treatment and yearly paps!keep us posted!i understand ur anxiety!since 12-06 have had two colps,numerous paps..a LEEP and now paps every 4 mos. for a year!
The first test was a pap smear. The second test was administered using a microscope-type device where she peered into my vagina. She told me everything looked normal. I know i should have spoke up. I know better now.
i am as confused as u..if u went in for a pap smear and it appeared to be a pap smear taken and ur told it wasn't then what was that?those could b skin tags..but u don't have to have anal sex to get genital hpv warts they can appear on the genitals and in the anal area.I always take a list of questions in2 my docotr so i don't forget anything...never b too timid to ask questions...this is ur health and ur insurance and u r paying for it!
