is hpv curable - #25370
I am really worried because I just found out I'm positive for HPV after my last screening. The doctor said most people clear it naturally but gave me this pamphlet and mentioned that "is HPV curable" is a common question. Honestly, I'm freaking out!! I've read so many conflicting articles online about it, some say that there's no cure but the virus can go away on its own. I want to know if “is HPV curable” is something that should be a concern in my case since I’m only 27 and don’t have any serious health issues, or if many people have it and manage to live normal lives? I keep stressing thinking about what if it doesn’t clear up, what if I develop something awful later on? My mind is racing. I’ve also spoken to a couple of friends who said they had it too but their docs told them it usually just goes away. But still, I’m unsure – I mean, does it really “go away” or can it pop back up again? Like, do I need to do any special treatments or just wait it out? I feel like I'm going down this rabbit hole of anxiety and just trying to figure out if “is HPV curable” means I should be really worried or if this is super common and I can chill a bit. Any thoughts?
