3 Months

Hey everyone, if you’ve been following me (33 Y.O.), you know that I tested positive for HPV a while ago. I was diagnosed with High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL) in my cervix, which was a tough diagnosis to face, but I’m happy to share some good news with all of you!

I recently received my endocervical curettage results after having a colposcopy, and the results are looking great! No lesions were found on my cervix, and here’s a breakdown of the pathology report:

• Benign - Appearing Endocervical Mucosa & Glandular Epithelium: The tissue sample contains fragments of normal (benign) endocervical mucosa, which is the lining of the cervix.
• NEGATIVE FOR HPV CYTOPATHIC EFFECT
• NEGATIVE FOR INVASIVE CARCINOMA
• Non-Keratinizing Squamous Epithelium with Mild Atypia: A section of the tissue contains a strip of squamous epithelium that is not keratinized. The cells in this strip show mild atypia (slightly abnormal appearance), but there are no signs of severe abnormalities like prominent mitotic figures (a sign of active cell division) or HPV-related changes (which might indicate infection by the human papillomavirus).
• Squamous Metaplasia Over Dysplasia: The mild atypia could suggest that this strip of tissue is undergoing squamous metaplasia, a process where one type of cell changes into another, possibly over an area that might have had early signs of dysplasia (abnormal cells).

To be honest, I feel so relieved after fighting for 3 months. I’ve been focusing on natural ways to boost my immune system, supporting my body with proper nutrition, reducing stress, and overall focusing on my health. I believe this approach helped me clear the infection and prevent any progression to cancer.

I know many of us can feel scared when dealing with HPV and cervical abnormalities, but I want to share that it’s possible to heal naturally and to overcome this.

Update: Update: My KUB X-ray shows everything is functioning correctly. The ENT doctor found no HPV lesions and no signs of oropharyngeal cancer after using a camera to examine my throat—though I did cry during the procedure. I later learned you're supposed to get numbed for it. My dentist also checked for oral cancer and HPV, and everything was normal no signs of HPV or Oral cancer.

My upcoming appointments:

• February 7, 2025: 2nd HPV dose ( 1st dose had my arm numb for almost a week)
• September 17, 2025: Follow-up for Pap smear and HPV testing and my Dr will check to see if mild atypia went away. She think it will after i receive my 3rd HPV dose and want me to use condoms until final dose.

Stay strong, take care of yourselves, and don’t give up hope!
