I was on azaphoprine for over 10 years for UC that damaged my liver so after trying several other meds I am now on Vedolizimub.
As some of us may be aware these meds also reduce your immune system so unable to fight certain infections including HPV.
Over 2 years ago I was diagnosed with HR HPV CIN and had leep procedure. However after a year it was back. My gynaecologist said I may need hysterectomy if my immune system can’t fight the virus due to me being on azaphoprine etc.
i’m now on vedolizimub and my HPV has now almost cleared and I do not need a hysterectomy which is fantastic.
Does anyone think this is due to being on Vedo which only affects some of the immune system?
Many thanks
