The Answers To Your Queries Can't Be Found By Looking At Pictures Of Warts Alone


Can you catch HPV warts if you are a virgin? Most people think that the answer to this question is no but they are wrong. If you have HPV warts and you they come in contact with the genitals of your partner, they could also get the infection. Similarly, HPV warts can appear in your mouth or throat if you engage in oral sex with an infected partner.

Will treatment banish HPV Warts for good?  Unfortunately you can not get rid of HPV warts forever. The underlying virus does not go away so your warts may come back even after treatment.

Is it possible to have the HPV Virus without any signs of genital warts? Yes, you could have contracted the HPV Virus and no warts have yet appeared. They could still appear in the future. In females this may be picked up if you have a couple of abnormal smear results.

Are there any home treatments available or do you have to get them on prescription? Treatments can be delivered directly to your home. Personally I would look out for the best known brands and only use homeopathic remedies as all their ingredients are completely natural. At least then I would know I'm not using any unknown chemicals. Wartrol is perhaps the most popular of the home treatments for HPV warts.

I've just been diagnosed with HPV warts, is it worth getting checked for any other sexually transmitted diseases? You could easily have picked up another infection if you have been having unprotected sex.

Please don't be embarrassed to seek help either from a doctor, nurse or STD clinic - you have no idea how many people are in exactly the same position as you right now! Don't hang about, get some treatment as soon as you can. It will definitely make you feel better.

The other very important thing that you have to do is practice safe sex from now on. Think how you felt when you found out you have the infection? You really don't want to pass it on to someone else. It is not true that there is only a slim chance of you passing the infection on. By having unprotected sex there is a 70% likelihood that you will pass HPV warts to your partner - it is just not worth taking the chance.

Home Remedies to Never Try


Look, when it comes to hand warts, warts on your elbows, your knees, the soles of your feet, you can go ahead and cry whatever crazy concoction you may have read about on the internet. A few of those home remedies are sort of effective, and most of them don’t work, but you at least don’t stand to hurt yourself in the process of self-medicating your HPV infection.

But… when it comes to genital HPV, we can only recommend, in good conscience, real medical attention. Still, if you insist on getting your HPV treatment advice from the big book of home remedies or some such, we urge you to at least consider the following… and strike them right off the list of possible home remedies…

Foodstuffs

One of the more popular home remedies for common warts is to apply certain things from the kitchen to the infected area. You can tape a piece of garlic to a wart, dip it in vinegar, or soak it in salt water. Surprisingly, some of this stuff kind of actually works. Foods with incredibly high acidic content do, in fact, have what it takes to burn away at warts.

…And that’s exactly why you should never apply these foods to your genitals. Your hands, your feet, they can handle “spicy foods”, but putting garlic on your nether regions is no safer, and no smarter, than rubbing it in your eyes. If you’re looking for home remedies, stay out of the kitchen.

Home Surgery

Most people wince at the very idea of trying to surgically excise their own warts. Some doctors will treat hand warts with a pair of sterilized surgical scissors. It’s quick, relatively painless, and most importantly; performed in a sterile, medical environment.

If your HPV infection is severe enough that you’re even contemplating a solution this dangerous and crazy, then it’s severe enough to go see your physicist. You’re not a surgeon, don’t operate on yourself.

Footcare Products

You can get rid of plantar warts with relative ease with a hot footbath and a corn remover, but the very thought of applying the same treatment to genital warts is enough to make any rational person’s hair stand on end. Yes, it is just as painful and as ineffective as you’d guess.

In martial arts, a lot of movements are designed to keep the feet and hands in the heat of the action, and the head and genitals well outside of the action. This is because your feet and hands are the toughest parts of your body, and your head and genitals are the most vulnerable. You wouldn’t wear shoes in place of underwear, so don’t use a plantar wart removal method on your more sensitive parts.

Conclusion…

If you think what we’re saying here is “Don’t use any home remedies to take care of genital warts”, you’re absolutely correct. Trying to treat genital warts yourself can result in scarring, loss of sensitivity due to nerve damage, or worse. Just don’t do it. If you think you have genital HPV, see a doctor. Genital HPV is not a problem you can solve with a simple home remedy.

HPV Warts - Your Options


Human papillomaviruses or the HPV, are common viral infections that cause warts, there are some natural medications that are beneficial to speed up the healing process and eventually completely remove HPV warts.

HPV warts are hard skin growths that can be seen on the face, hands, feet genitals, and they are basically harmless causing no serious diseases, but they are contagious. The main treatment for HPV warts is to remove them.
You have the option to remove them through surgery or medical procedures or maybe you want something that is natural. There are herbal, home-grown or commercial products that could help you treat HpV warts. However, keep in mind that not all warts are successfully removed and work well for everyone. The up side of the upside of natural HPV Wart remover is that it is inexpensive and generally safe.

If you really want to treat your HPV warts the natural way, get lemon juice, lemon balm oil, vinegar birch oil, and garlic cloves in your kitchen. You should try to make these things available to have homemade remedies for your HPV warts.

Certainly, lemon, lime and grape fruit juice contain citric acid whereas vinegars have ascetic acid that is so helpful to treat HPV warts. These homemade products with acid content are useful to gently exfoliate the lining of the wart, and also the risk-free method to nurse HPV warts.

Commercial products found in the market are also good in accelerating the healing process of HPV warts since most of them contain salicylic acid that helps to cure warts. This acid content gently removes the layers of the warts until they decrease in size and disappear. Other commercial products also contain mild acid as their main ingredient. When using these products, make sure that you follow the directions carefully.

Never forget to see your doctor if the symptoms persist. Your doctor can provide you proper prescription for your stubborn warts like topical ointments and he/she may use a method called electrocautery that utilizes an electrical current that helps to burn off the warts or surgery to cut out the wart. Although these methods are available they can often be dangerous.

Lastly, you should strengthen your immune system.  This is one way to fight the HPV infection and this can be done by taking a lot of Vitamin C and herbs like echinacea and goldenseal. To protect your body from HPV infection, you should have a healthy and strong body and immune system and there are several steps you can take to accomplish this.

HPV Warts Can Lead To Some Akward Situations

Following my wedding I really did not expect to get HPV warts. At first I thought my brand new husband was not as faithful as I thought but then the doctor explained that there could be another explanation. I couldn't figure it out because my husband didn't even have any warts. My doctor explained that perhaps I had caught the virus that causes HPV Warts from a previous partner and that the virus had sat dormant in my system until now. The warts surfaced at a time that my immune system was at it's lowest.

The warts were the only sign of the infection, if they had not appeared I would still not know I had the HPV virus. This was not the type of conversation I expected having with my husband, it was not much fun explaining it to him. To cut a long story short my husband also has the HPV Virus. He was tested and as it is such a contagious virus he had already caught it. Who knows when he will develop HPV warts but it is very likely they will appear at some point down the line.

I knew something was wrong when I found a couple of small flesh coloured lumps down below. I looked at pictures of warts on the internet to see if they were similar. The pictures of warts on the internet were of quite severe cases of HPV Warts but I could see the similarity. I then made an appointment with my doctor. Then I started on the Wartrol treatment. It was a godsend actually taking some action against these horrible warts.

The wartrol treatment was really effective and the situation suddenly became a lot easier when the warts went away. Finally I was in control. I researched the infection and I now know that HPV warts can come back any time, especially if I'm a bit run down and my immune system is lower than normal.

It was scary to find out that HPV virus has no cure and that the warts could reappear at any time. I definately feel more confident that I know Wartrol works and it has helped me erradicate the warts. I now keep a bottle in the cupboard just in case we have another outbreak of HPV warts. Wartrol only uses natural ingredients so I know I'm not exposed to unnecessary mediation.

I also found out that some strains of the HPV virus can cause cancer so I now know exactly how important it is to keep up to date with pap tests. That way my doctor is on top of the risks all the time.

After successfully treating the warts I now know that I am in control, those pesky HPV Warts will not be taking over my life{!} It's amazing how quickly you adjust and it all seems quite normal to me now. I can't change the situation so there is no point in stressing about it.

If you are in this situation then please try not to panic, just take control. Just research the condition and then get yourself some treatment, believe me you will definately feel better.

HPV testing for women


Many doctors will argue that testing for HPV is an art, not a science. This simply means that there is no precise, one hundred percent accurate way to test for HPV.

The most common symptoms of HPV, being warts, are generally easy to identify. Be they common or genital warts, they’re easily spotted by their conspicuous cauliflower like appearance.

Even so, if you suspect that you have contracted HPV, it is a good idea to have your doctor verify this. Oftentimes, what may be a simple blemish, a pimple, or something else entirely may be misidentified as a wart, and the wrong treatment may be applied, as such, it’s always wise to attain a professional’s opinion.

That said, warts are not the primary concern in HPV testing for women. The primary concern is the risk of HPV types 16 or 18 developing into cervical cancer.

A lot of attention is paid in the media to the problems of breast cancer, of HIV, and, more recently, of Swine Flu. It seems odd, then, that so little attention is paid to cervical cancer and HPV, as, every year, cervical cancer kills an estimated forty thousand women. The vast majority of these cases are linked to human papilloma virus.

To be clear, the HPV strains that do lead to cervical cancer are not the types that lead to genital warts and similar conditions. Rather, the HPV types that lead to cervical cancer show absolutely no symptoms visible to the naked eye. Vaginal bleeding may occur, but it is much more common for the condition to show absolutely no symptoms until the cancer has developed into an advanced stage.

You check yourself for lumps and you check your skin for spots after a day in the sun, it is equally important to have a regular pap smear conducted.

You will want to talk to your doctor to arrange scheduled pap smears. The information below will provide a rough guideline, but there are several factors at play, besides your age, that should determine how frequently you should have the test conducted.

For sexually active women or women over the age of eighteen, you should have a pap smear conducted once every one, two, or three years. Although many doctors insist on an annual pap test for any woman aged eighteen to thirty.

A majority of doctors believe that a woman who has reached the ages of sixty five to seventy with no abnormal test results may safely stop having the test conducted. Most women who have had hysterectomies performed do not need pap smears after two or three years of normal results.

A woman who has had a series of abnormal test results may be asked to take a pap test every six months in order for her doctor to keep a close eye on the situation. Abnormal test results may be a bit ambiguous, and it may be hard to identify the problem, if there even is a problem in the first place, with a single pap smear.

When portions of the cervix are removed or operated on in response to an abnormal test result, an annual test should be conducted in order to check for recurrence of abnormal cell growth

Most importantly, you should absolutely not neglect your doctor’s advice regarding a regular pap test. Even if you believe a regular pap test to be unnecessary due to your age or other circumstance, you should not stop having the test conducted until your doctor says so.

Different Types of HPV


HPV isn’t just one condition or one disease. Human Papillomavirus spreads across a wide range of different infection types. The good news is that the most common types are easily treatable, and that many of the least common types tend to be essentially harmless, showing no actually symptoms.

For the purposes of this article, we’ll only focus on the types you need to be concerned about. These include the various HPV types that do show symptoms in the form of warts, and a few types which do not show symptoms, but which can lead to further complications. The fact is that there are a lot of HPV types that you simply don’t have to worry about, so we’ll focus on the more harmful or uncomfortable types which can be prevented, identified, and properly treated.

Common Warts

These are the types we’ve all had, types 2 and 7. They cause warts on the hands and feet, but they’re really not a big deal, they’re just ugly and uncomfortable. Some simple over the counter treatment can usually take care of them.

Plantar Warts

Caused by types 1, 2 and 4. These are not dangerous, but are even less comfortable than hand warts, as they effect the bottom of the feet and can make the simple act of walking a pain. These are best dealt with quickly.

Flat Warts

Flat warts are similar to plantar warts, in that they tend to affect the feet and are uncomfortable, but tend to be sort of “ingrown”. These are caused by types 3 and 10.

Anogenital Warts

Caused by types 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, 55 and a number of others. These are basically what we call “genital warts” and can affect the genitals and the anus. There is little to no overlap between genital warts and genital cancers. If you have anogenital warts, they won’t lead to cervical cancer, but it goes without saying that these are best treated quickly with advice from a medical professional.

Genital Cancers

Types 16, 18, 31, 35, 38, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73 and 82. Genital cancers are caused by HPV types affecting the genitals without actually showing any warts. In women, these can typically only be identified by a pap smear.

Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is actually a hereditary skin condition, and can result in typically asymptomatic HPV types resulting in warts or scales. More than 15 types of HPV can be associated with this condition. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis cannot be contracted from HPV, though, and is completely hereditary.

Focal Epithelia Hyperplasia

Focal epithelia hyperplasia, also known as “Heck’s disease” is an oral infection causing pink, whitish, mucosal masses in the mouth. The masses are painless and contagious, occurring commonly in children and adolescents, sometimes continuing into adulthood. This condition is associated with HPV types 13 and 32. No severe health problems have been linked to this condition.

Oral Papillomas

Oral warts can be caused by HPV types 6, 7, 11, 16 and 32. Luckily, oral papillomas are quite rare, though are best dealt with via surgery.

Talking to your Sex Partner about HPV

Here is one of the simple truths of love and sex in the modern world: You need to be willing to have frank, open discussions with your partner about all matters relating to sex.

To put it bluntly, it’s not the 1950’s anymore, and it’s not a great idea to be shy or ashamed when it comes to talking to your partner about sex. If you’re a little bashful about it, remember, they talk about this stuff on daytime TV, so why be embarrassed over talking about it with the person you take to bed?

You should be willing to talk about every possible detail of your sex life with your partner, be willing to listen, and put no subject out of bounds. This is true when discussing more personal details of satisfaction, but especially true when it comes to issues of health.

If you have, or have had in the past, HPV, you need to tell any new sex partner before intercourse occurs. We know that all of this sort of clinical advice can be difficult to put to work in the real world. There’s no better way to spoil that “first time” mood than to say “Oh by the way, I have genital warts, but it’s all cleared up, now!”

What you need to do, then, is simply not be bashful about the sexual tension between yourself and your new potential partner. There are no set rules for this sort of thing, but as soon as sexual interaction becomes an open possibility for the future, say around the second date (or the end of the first, if you’re getting along incredibly well) it’s a good idea for both partners to divulge their sexual histories to one another. Get it out of the way early on so you don’t have to surprise anyone with it later.

Now, let’s say you’re clean, you’ve never contracted HPV or any other sort of venereal disease, so… do you need to have this talk?

Yes, of course you do. Having a frank talk about venereal diseases and sexual history isn’t just for your partner’s benefit, it’s for your benefit, as well. In the event that your partner does have HPV or another STD, you need to talk about it, and somebody needs to break the ice. That won’t always be the person who actually does have HPV. It’s not that somebody’s trying to keep a secret, but… can be embarrassing for someone who’s suffered genital HPV to willingly bring it up, so that puts the burden on your shoulders to get the talk started.

In this day and age, we’re not going to say “Ask your partner for a full list of the names and phone numbers of every previous sexual partner”, but some time does need to be dedicated to talking about this sort of thing. Know “where your partner has been”, as it were.

In short, educate yourself on HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and don’t be embarrassed. It’s a talk that every couple needs to have.

And remember that HPV isn’t a red light for a sexual relationship, it only means that you need to be careful. Remember that HPV can still be spread without any visible symptoms taking place, and even with a condom, so if you do contract HPV, talk with your physician before having sex again.

Nutrition to reduce risk of HPV

There is no magic diet, no special fruit or vegetable that will make you impervious to HPV. There’s no way to reduce risk of contracting HPV by 100%, as even the HPV vaccine only protects against the high risk forms that can lead to cancer and so on. That said, you can make some simple changes to your diet to improve your immune system, so as to greatly reduce your risk of contracting HPV, and, should you contract HPV, your immune system will be able to rid your body of the infection that much more quickly.

In fact, let’s forget about HPV for a minute and just consider this: If you eat healthy, you will feel better.

A lot of health food people get it wrong. Eating better isn’t about living longer, it’s not about avoiding foods that will “kill you” (no food can really kill you unless you’re suffering from serious obesity or blood pressure and cholesterol problems) it’s about making the years you have available to you more enjoyable. If you eat well, you will be in a better mood, as nutrition plays a vital part in maintaining mental health. If you eat well, you’ll be stronger, faster, less tired, you’ll feel more comfortable and look better in your own body, your skin will look and feel better, your bones will be stronger, you’ll get sick less often, and you will be happier. You will live longer, as well, but the real point is that, in the here and now, you can improve your quality of life by leaps and bounds by making a few simple dietary changes.

Fruits and vegetables

Here’s the basic rule of fruits and vegetables: There’s almost no such thing as too much.

You may have heard of the supposed “superfruits” which have become pretty trendy these days, but honestly, most of them aren’t much stronger than your average orange or apple. However, if an exotic flavour is enough to get you eating more fruits, go for it.

Look for fruits especially high in vitamin C, most obviously, the orange.

As for vegetables, try just switching sugary, salty snacks out with salads. Play around with different combinations and lighter dressings until you have something you like. Salads mainly provide fiber, which can help to keep your system clean and flush out excess waste. This can be enormously helpful in improving your immune system and preventing colon cancer.

Water

It sounds like a lot, but try to drink about a gallon a day. Water doesn’t contain vitamins or anything, but it works as a sort of lubrication for your body and basically improves all facets of your biological functions.

Protein

You do need protein to keep your immune system and your skin strong to help fight off HPV infection. Try to avoid red meat, though. Something to keep in mind, pork is actually one of the safest, healthiest meats available. It gets a bad name, and certainly, bacon is probably the worst food you can eat, but it digests more easily than beef and is less greasy. If you can get more protein from beans or fish, that’s even better.

Exercise

Nutrition only goes so far. You can have a perfect diet, but if you don’t keep yourself active, your immune system won’t be strong enough to deal with an HPV infection quickly and effectively. Stay fit. If you can make time for some daily situps and pushups, great. If not, at the very least you should take a walk every day.

Anogenital Warts

Anogenital warts are a commonly misunderstood disease. Caused by Human papilloma virus types 6, 11, 42, 43, 44 and 55, among others, anogenital warts, sometimes simply called genital warts, are a type of genital HPV, but are only one small subsection of genital HPV.

Other types of genital HPV may lead to genital cancers, such as cervical cancer, while others may lead to no symptoms whatsoever. Luckily, the types that lead to anogenital warts do not lead to cancer.

That said, the presence of anogenital warts should not be taken as a sign that you do not have an HPV type that can lead to cancer. Multiple HPV types can affect an individual at once, and it is entirely possible to have both anogenital warts and developing cervical cancer from two or more different strains of genital HPV.

Anogenital warts tend to spread only through direct sexual contact. It is possible for anogenital warts to spread to the mouth, though it is somewhat rare.

One common misconception is that HPV is only contagious when an infection is active. This isn’t the case. In fact, HPV can spread for even months after a wart infection clears up. For this reason, we strongly urge that you consult your physician before considering yourself ready to have sex again, and we insist that you use a latex condom during sex.

If you do contract genital warts, they can sometimes be easily identified from a “layman’s” perspective on sight, but other times may only become visible through some medical testing. If you do suspect that you have contracted anogenital warts, make sure to consult your doctor before taking action, lest you wind up treating a pimple or an ingrown hair with an over the counter genital wart remover.

Do not use home remedies on anogenital warts. There are a number of home remedies that work like a charm on common warts on the hands and feet, but your hands and feet are not as sensitive as your genitals. There are some over the counter and prescription treatments for anogenital warts that tend to be highly effective, so there’s no reason to try and treat anogenital warts with slices of garlic, dabs of vinegar, or something you found in a home pedicure kit.

Again, anogenital warts are uncomfortable, but do not lead to cancer. That said, women should make absolutely certain to have their regular pap smear conducted, as this is the only way to identify the types of HPV which show no visible symptoms, but which can lead to cervical cancer. And as always, safe sex should be practiced, in order to prevent contracting or spreading genital HPV.

Because anogenital HPV strains can lie dormant in one’s body for years without showing any visible symptoms, it is possible to see genital warts occur even a decade or longer after contracting the disease. It is also possible to contract anogenital wart causing HPV without ever seeing any visible symptoms. This is worth making a bit more public, as dormant HPV suddenly showing symptoms years after infection has led to a lot of distrust in marriages. Genital warts suddenly appearing are not always a sign of infidelity.

If you do have anogenital warts, just make sure to go through the proper steps. Talk to your doctor, and treat the warts medically.

The Answers To Your Queries Can't Be Found By Looking At Pictures Of Warts Alone


Can you catch HPV warts if you are a virgin? Most people think that the answer to this question is no but they are wrong. If you have HPV warts and you they come in contact with the genitals of your partner, they could also get the infection. Similarly, HPV warts can appear in your mouth or throat if you engage in oral sex with an infected partner.

Will treatment banish HPV Warts for good?  Unfortunately you can not get rid of HPV warts forever. The underlying virus does not go away so your warts may come back even after treatment.

Is it possible to have the HPV Virus without any signs of genital warts? Yes, you could have contracted the HPV Virus and no warts have yet appeared. They could still appear in the future. In females this may be picked up if you have a couple of abnormal smear results.

Are there any home treatments available or do you have to get them on prescription? Treatments can be delivered directly to your home. Personally I would look out for the best known brands and only use homeopathic remedies as all their ingredients are completely natural. At least then I would know I'm not using any unknown chemicals. Wartrol is perhaps the most popular of the home treatments for HPV warts.

I've just been diagnosed with HPV warts, is it worth getting checked for any other sexually transmitted diseases? You could easily have picked up another infection if you have been having unprotected sex.

Please don't be embarrassed to seek help either from a doctor, nurse or STD clinic - you have no idea how many people are in exactly the same position as you right now! Don't hang about, get some treatment as soon as you can. It will definitely make you feel better.

The other very important thing that you have to do is practice safe sex from now on. Think how you felt when you found out you have the infection? You really don't want to pass it on to someone else. It is not true that there is only a slim chance of you passing the infection on. By having unprotected sex there is a 70% likelihood that you will pass HPV warts to your partner - it is just not worth taking the chance.
