does hpv go away - #25464
I am really anxious about something that’s been on my mind for a while now. Last year, I found out I had HPV during a routine checkup. The doctor said a lot of people get it and that sometimes, does HPV go away on its own? I mean, I’ve read online that the body fights it off in most cases, but how true is that? Sometimes I feel like I’m stuck in limbo worrying about it. My friend got it and had to go through some intense treatments, but I’m hearing stories where others just had it and it cleared up without any drama. I really don’t want to end up needing treatment! I had some additional tests and they said I don't have any high-risk strains, but still... what does that mean? Does HPV go away for everyone? I think about it more than I’d like to admit, especially when I'm looking at other health stuff too. Like, am I just supposed to forget about it, or should I be doing something specific? Seriously, I can't help but keep Googling! I’m kinda tired of stressing over this and would love some real insight.
