Hello tj1999,

According to the CDC, in most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems.

For the benefit of all our readers, Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses a wire loop heated by electric current to remove cells and tissue as part of the diagnosis and treatment for abnormal or cancerous conditions in a woman’s lower genital tract.

LEEP is done to diagnose or treat genital warts, which may indicate infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), a risk factor for developing cervical cancer.

Before engaging in oral sex with your new partner, please talk with your gynecologist or attending physician who has treated you for HPV in the past.

Regards,
Maryann
