Treating Genital Warts,Getting Rid of Genital Warts

What is a genital wart? Also known as a venereal wart, it is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease affecting both sexes and usually transmitted through skin to skin contact during oral, genital or anal sex with an affected partner.

Genital warts home treatment methods are generally not encouraged by medical practitioners due to the sensitive nature of the tissues around the affected genital area. Some methods are quite ludicrous; they include such common substances found at home like Vitamin E oil, garlic, onion slices, salt, milky juice of fig stems, apple cider vinegar and Aloe Vera.

Genital warts home treatment methods may also include ingesting diets rich in folic acid and beta carotene for example eating more fruits and vegetables like radish, mango, squash, tomato, dark green leafy vegetables (spinach and cabbage). Yet another suggestion is to avoid cigarettes and caffeine.

Modern scientific evidence however points overwhelmingly to viral particles that penetrate the skin and mucosal surfaces through microscopic abrasion between genital surfaces during sexual contact. Once the cells are invaded by HPV, a gestation period ranging from months to years may take place before the first symptom appears.

While genital warts home treatment methods border on the absurd, modern scientific treatments call for a more professional approach like application of topical immune response creams, anti-mitotic solutions, electric or laser cauterization (burning) and liquid nitrogen cryosurgery (freezing). Although such treatments may remove the symptoms, they do not remove the HPV virus. Consequently warts can continue to recur.

Traditional theories postulated that the virus will remain in the body for a lifetime. However, new studies using sensitive DNA techniques have shown that through immunological response the virus can either be cleared or suppressed to acceptable levels.

In the face of such convincing scientific methods, should not one then place hope on a modern scientific approach rather than some dubious genital warts home treatment methods?

 

What are my Genital Wart Treatment options?

There are a number of different genital wart treatment options available. It is best to start with the natural treatments as these tend to be less intrusive than some methods of genital wart removal. 

 

Treatment for Genital Warts

Because genital warts essentially have no other symptoms other than their appearance there is no need for home treatment aside from the medications your physician may prescribe. It is necessary however, to take precautions to prevent reoccurences.

 

Genital Warts Prevention | Information On HPV

The best way to prevent getting an HPV infection is to avoid direct contact with the virus, which is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. If you or your sexual partner has warts that can be seen in the genital area, avoid sexual contact until the warts have been removed.
