Genital
Warts Treatment
If you suspect you have
genital warts or have actually been diagnosed
with genital warts, then your first concern may
well be to know what genital
warts treatment is available. After the bad
news about getting genital warts in the first
place, the good news is that there are plenty
of genital warts treatments.
Genital warts can appear
in both men and women but male genital warts are
less common. Genital warts are caused by the human
papilloma virus (HPV) which is a very common
sexually transmitted infection and extremely contagious.
Male genital warts appear on the tip or shaft
of the penis and on the scrotum. Female genital
warts appear on the vagina and in the cervix.
Both sexes can develop anal warts.
Male genital warts
In the case of male genital
warts, your doctor will usually be able to diagnose
them correctly just by seeing them. He will often
use a colposcope to magnify the area. A solution
of vinegar can also be applied and this will turn
any warts present white. Unfortunately, there
is no accurate HPV test for men and the only certain
way of knowing that a male is carrying the virus
is the presence of male genital warts.
When you are sexually active,
there is always a risk of catching a sexually
transmitted disease from your sexual partner.
If you or your partner has visible genital warts,
then you need to undergo a genital warts treatment
as a matter of urgency as many doctors believe
that once genital warts have been treated and
have disappeared, you are less likely to pass
on the virus. However, caution should always be
heeded and safe sex practiced as you may not even
be aware that you have genital warts because:
Genital warts can be very
small and flat so that they are difficult to distinguish
from a normal genital bump or blemish.
Genital warts
can be in hard-to-see places such as on the cervix
or the urethra
.
Even if a genital
wart has been removed, the infected area can still
have the virus present.
Genital warts
are usually painless.
Genital Warts Treatment
As we have said earlier
there is some good news amongst the bad news in
that so many genital warts treatments and wart
removal remedies that are available as listed
below:
A natural healing product
which is made from essential oils where the formula
is used as a genital warts treatment with no pain,
nor burning, no skin irritation and no scarring.
This successful product can be ordered on line
and applied in the privacy of your own home
and is also extremely effective in wart
removal.
Medications which
can be prescribed by your doctor but which can
be applied in your own home - although it is advisable
for your doctor to do the first application in
his surgery.
Interferon injections
which are injected into the warts to help your
body’s immune system fight the virus that
is causing the warts. These injections are carried
out twice a week for up to 8 weeks.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
or bichloroacetic acid (BCA) which are medications
applied in your doctor’s surgery weekly
until the warts
have gone. The same applies to Fluorouracil Cream.
Cryotherapy which
involves putting very cold liquid nitrogen directly
onto the warts. This freezes the wart tissue and
destroys it. Cryotherapy can be used to treat
internal warts as well as external ones.
Laser treatment
which is used for vaporizing genital warts and
is very precise. This is a useful genital warts
treatment for difficult to reach areas.
Electrocautery
which is where the genital warts tissue is destroyed
with heat from an electric current.
Excision which
is where the genital warts are cut away in a surgical
procedure.
As some of these genital
warts treatment procedures can be painful, your
doctor will often use a local anesthetic to dull
the pain.
Before deciding on what
genital warts treatment might suit you, do your
own research on line so that you are well informed
and well aware of the different options available.
