HP and vitamins...

So, I just got my Pap smear results back, and it looks like there are some changes linked to HP. It’s a bit of a wake-up call, honestly. Does anyone have recommendations on which vitamins might actually help? Also, what’s the fastest way to get through this healing process? Full disclosure: my lifestyle is a total mess right now—I smoke, and my daily routine is pretty much pure chaos. I know, I know, not exactly the healthiest starting point! But I really want to turn things around. Any advice or personal stories would be so appreciated!

Hey Walter Brown12,

I got the exact same diagnosis back in November. My doctor didn't really give me much to go on—no real advice or game plan for dealing with HP—so I had to go out and hunt for answers myself. Honestly, you can learn a hell of a lot on these forums if you know where to look.
There are tons of different stories floating around here, but the consensus is always the same: you've got to try to live healthier. Though, let's be real... with how fast life moves these days, how doable is that actually?

If you can manage it, you should probably cut down on stress, try not to sweat the small stuff, stay active, and get enough sleep.
As for supplements, I’ve been taking Centrum—it covers all the bases, vitamins, folic acid... that sort of thing. I also take aloe vera in effervescent tablets because they're just easier to deal with. A lot of people swear by Noni juice (there are capsules too) and Colostrum. But from what I’ve heard, you shouldn't mix Noni and aloe vera at the same time. You have to space them out, otherwise you might end up with a counterproductive mess.

The bottom line is working on your immune system...

In the end, your body will tell you where you stand. I'm sincerely, truly hoping I can clear this HP once and for all. And I'M PULLING FOR ALL THE OTHER WOMEN fighting this same battle. They say 90% of people clear it eventually. Good luck to everyone.

Did you go in for specific HP typing?

I had a Pap smear that showed "changes associated with HP," but my doctor told me it doesn't necessarily mean I have HP right away.

So I went ahead and got the HP typing test done, and turns out it was nothing! It was just some inflammation that looked similar on the results. 😢

Like I already said, my dad was the one who "showed changes related to HP" on his exam. The doctor just told me to come back for another Pap smear in exactly six months, hoping it might just clear itself up. If only it were that easy...🙏

New Life Colostrum... I dissolved it and it actually worked for me when I was dealing with HP issues. It’s quite helpful...

I didn't end up going in for the biopsy... just like how yours said "changes associated with HPV" on the Pap smear
Thanks so much to everyone for all the help and advice here... wishing you all the very best of luck out there!
