So me and my cervix have been on a little journey - had LLETZ procedure for CIN3 and 2 normal smears since. Last smear came back NORMAL but the sample showed i have the HPV present.
Been back to the hospital for a colposcopy today and the virus has made changes to my cervix, even though the smear came back normal, so how it was explained is this is like a 'pre-pre change'. They took a biopsy (always not fun) and said depending on the results ill either have another treatment (cry) or go back into yearly smear tests (please please please be this).
Anyway!
Its a virus! Like a cold or influenza. Your body just fights it and removes it. But whats the best way to get rid of a virus, what vitamins do you take?
I eat healthy. I get exercise - mainly walking! But i went to a health food shop and they pretty much had no idea what to suggest other than point me in the direction of all the really expensive vitamins (typical).
Will taking extra vitamins be any use? Is there anybody out there who has heard about this or even had this? No amount of googling has thrown up anything useful really.
My mum suggested homeopathy but i have to wait a month before i can talk about that with my doctor.
Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks
