I'm a teenager whose had sex and I need help?

Question: I know I have genital warts...no I haven't been to a doctor but I know what they look like and I have them...I was wondering if you knew if a person has them inside the vagina lips and further up if that means I have cervical cancer? And does cervical cancer lead to ovarian cancer? I can't go to the dactor cuz I have no car and I only have a home phone meaning my mom could answer and know what's goin on...I've known that I've had them since like the middle of june...and I've had a vibrator used on me when I was drunk and I was wondering if someone had used it b4 and had gw could I have gotten it from that?

Answers:
OK, so you have some growths on your vagina. First advice : Do not self diagnose. They may or may not be genital warts. Such growths may be a result of herpes, HPV-The Human Pappiloma Virus, or something as simple and silly like as a result of waxing your pubic area. If they are really itchy and they come and go, it is more likely that it may be herpes. It can also be really warts, caused by HPV. HPV has two types, high risk and low risk and the type that causes genital warts is the low risk type. When I say low risk, that is low risk for cervical cancer. Yes, certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer but it takes a lot more than a few months for HPV related cell changes to turn into cancer. So you don't have cancer. The fact that you have wart-like things inside your vagina does not mean they are cancerous. The only way to detect any cell changes including displasia, cancer or simple cell abnormalities is to have a PAP Smear. If there is any abnormality with cells, including precancerous growth, etc. it will show up in a pap smear test. If they do find any abnormalities, they perform a highly sensitive HVP test (as far as I remember, it is a PCR test) and they will tell you whether you have HPV or not and what type. If those things you describe are really warts, they are almost always, if not always, caused by HPV and are treatable.

What you really should do is go to a doctor. If you don't want your parents to find out, go with someone you really trust. But go to a good doctor, and find out what is going on. If they are not warts, find out what they are. If they are warts get tested for HPV and by doing that, if you find out that you are HPV positive, you can save your own life by getting the proper attention like regular pap tests, etc. to avoid any potential risk for cervical cancer in the future because yes it is not very likely, but if you do indeed have HPV, it is an increased risk for cervical cancer.

And remember alcohol and sex is a bad combination. I have had pretty darn bad experiences with that combination myself. Remember, I am not your parent, not your friend, not someone who is trying to be annoying, and not someone you will ever meet, so when I say don't mix alcohol and sex, it can't be anything but a friendly advice from someone who has had to learn some lessons the hard(er) way... Be more careful and responsible... for your own good.
