If you've been infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) you may not even know it. In this video, HPV expert Dr. Diane Harper explains why.
I'm going to start with what are the symptoms of cervical cancer? If a woman has cervical cancer she may have bleeding after intercourse, and she may feel like she is swollen, she may feel that, she just doesn't feel herself. Those are symptoms to come and bring to your doctor, those are different then the symptoms of having an HPV infection.
An HPV infection doesn't give you any symptoms, you don't have any pain, you don't have any bleeding, you don't have any discharge, you don't have any fevers, it is completely quite.
Diane Harper, MD is a researcher, clinician and educator in the field of HPV associated diseases, focused on the prevention of cervical cancer. Dr. Harper also directs the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group.
