Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...
I have been diagnosed w/ high-risk hpv. 1st PAP in Sept 2006 came back with mild dysplasia of the cervix. Doctor says lets do a colposcopy and biopsy. Came back the same as the PAP (mild dysplasia). PAP in April 2007 comes back moderate dysplasia. Doctor says go see an oncologist and get a LEEP performed, don't try to conceive for 6 months, you will be fine. Oncologist says you might also have vaginal dysplasia took a biopsy and told me he may have to do a laser. Why did my obgyn never mention the vagina? In addition, when the oncologist advised me about the vaginal dysplasia I questioned what that meant for trying to get pregnant. His reply: No problem you can try tonight if you want. Why such different stories from the obgyn and the gynocologic oncologist? Another question, the oncologist scheduled my LEEP for the cerival dysplasia for next week, but I know he won't have the lab results back before then. Why not wait? I haven't spoke with anyone else who has HPV but I am extremely upset with the doctors. I wait for an hour plus after my scheduled appointment, then when the doctor finally does come in, he spends 5-8 minutes with me and leaves me feeling like a lab-rat. Anyone who has went through what I am going through, please offer your guidance. I am 32 years old and want to start a family and don't want to think I will get cancer. Also I am a smoker of 15 years, who quit last week when I found out about the moderate dysplasia. Please help anyone who can. Thanks

Then it depends on how their physician group does things. Some will be more thourough across the board with every member of the staff, while others will just let each individual docs do their own thing.
If I were you I would ask whichever doc you feel more comfortable with, to consult directly with the other and to review their findings. You should always ask docs to clarify their actions as well as the actions of others.
