Real Talk: Knowing the signs & symptoms of HPV & routine testing will keep you healthy 💓 Women's Health Advisory Council member Robyn Faye, M.D., talks w/ GetMeGiddy about HPV myths, risks & treatments:
"Countries need to be more innovative in this space and consider less invasive ways of HPV testing, like the at-home HPV testing deployed in Canada and Australia," she continued."Clinic tests might involve wait times, and it is necessary to undress and have a speculum inserted into the vagina, which some women don't mind, but others find invasive and overwhelming.
In addition to these important myths, Gerlis, Ashrafi, Faye and Bone contributed some of the more common HPV misconceptions that you should ignore:"A common misconception is that HPV doesn't affect men, the misconception arising from the fact that HPV is most commonly associated with cervical cancer," Ashrafi said."Men are affected by HPV in the same ways [as women].
"The worst-case scenario is that it can lead to cervical cancer and rectal cancer," Gerlis explained. "In some cases, HPV going undiagnosed can cause cells of the cervix to have abnormalities," Swarup noted."If it goes undiagnosed and your doctor doesn't monitor it, you may develop cervical cancer. This is why it's recommended to get your smear tests regularly so you can catch abnormal cells early."
