HPV in inner eye on tear duct, is it possible?

I suppose you can get warts just about anywhere - although I have not heard about warts on the eyes/tear ducts.  It could simply be a sty.\n\nIf you do have a wart on your tear duct, it would almost certainly not be the type that is transmitted sexually.  HPV is a huge family of viruses that cause warts.  Some types of HPV like your fingers, others the bottoms of your feet, and some like the genitals.  \n\nThe type that like your genitals will not transmit to your fingers or other body parts, and the same goes for warts on your fingers - they will not transmit to your gentials.\n\nAs for HPV causing cervical cancer - there are high risk & low risk types.  Low risk usually does not cause cervical cancer, and high risk may.  High risk HPV on the cervix usually does not cause warts.  A Pap smear will show changes in cells, and a doctor can order further tests.

It really doesn't matter where she got it from. It's not like finding out who gave it to her is going to make it go away or change anything.\n\nYou can have HPV (Human papillomavirus) for years and not have any symptoms! I have had HPV for 5 years now. I didn't develop genital warts until about 6 months ago! So, she might have the virus, she just isn't showing any signs of it. The best thing she can do now is to see an OBGYN and get a pap smear done. HPV can cause abnormal cells on the cervix which can lead to cervical cancer. (That's how I found out I had HPV!) Cervical cancer kills 300,000 women a year, so it is very important that she does this.\n\nAs for him, he can see a doctor to get some medication to treat the warts, but there is no way to know if he has the virus. Currently there is no test for men to detect the HPV virus. \n\nFor the most part HPV really doesn't do anything, and as long as you are in good health and are seeing the doctor regularly you should be fine. The real major concern with HPV is the cervical cancer. As long as she is seeing her OBGYN and getting her yearly pap smears done she should be okay.

Three questions in one? lol all for the price of two points! Ok ......here goes:\n\n1) Warts are viral. Since they are a virus you have to kill it. Wart pads are easy. They look like little band aids (clear so you don't even see that you are wearing one) with a medicated pad in the center. You keep them on 48 hours in a row. Then reapply. It literally will allow the wart to pop off. Scared the beejeezus out of my daughter when she was 6 and had the wart pop off and left a little hole in her finger......but it soon healed up and the wart never returned. \n\nCats are territorial. I'm not sure you can stop him from antagonizing her other than removing him from a certain area. Let the female roam while the male must remain locked up in a certain room or wing of the house. After a lengthy period, he can be allowed back in, but may not feel he is king of this territory anymore. (worth a shot)\n\n3) Sjogren's syndrome classically features a combination of dry eyes, dry mouth, and another disease of the connective tissues, most commonly rheumatoid arthritis.\n\nSjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the abnormal production of extra antibodies in the blood that are directed against various tissues of the body. This particular autoimmune illness is caused by inflammation in the glands of the body. Inflammation of the glands that produce tears (lacrimal glands) leads to decreased water production for tears and eye dryness. Inflammation of the glands that produce the saliva in the mouth (salivary glands, including the parotid glands) leads to mouth dryness.\n\nThe treatment of patients with Sjogren's syndrome is directed toward the particular areas of the body that are involved and complications, such as infection. There is no cure for Sjogren's syndrome. \n\nDryness of the eyes can be helped by artificial tears, eye lubricant ointments at night, and minimizing the use of hair dryers. When dryness becomes more significant, the ophthalmologist can plug the tear duct closed so that tears cover the eye longer. Cyclosporin eyedrops (Restasis) are recently approved medicated drops that can reduce the inflammation of the tear glands improving their function. Signs of eye infection (conjunctivitis), such as pus or excessive redness or pain, should be evaluated by the doctor.\n\nThe dry mouth can be helped by drinking plenty of fluids, humidifying air, and good dental care to avoid dental decay. The glands can be stimulated to produce saliva by sucking on sugarless lemon drops or glycerin swabs. Additional treatment for the symptom of dry mouth are prescription medications that are saliva stimulants, such as pilocarpine (Salagen) and cevimeline (Evoxac). These medications should be avoided by persons with certain heart diseases, asthma or glaucoma. Artificial saliva preparations can ease many of the problems associated with dry mouth. Many of these types of agents are available as over-the-counter products including toothpaste, gum, and mouthwash (Biotene). Vitamin E oil has been used with some success. Infections of the mouth and teeth should be addressed as early as possible in order to avoid more severe complications. Diligent dental care is very important.

As with any longterm viral STD like Herpies you always run a chance at infection even when no symptoms are apparent.  While the main mechanism of HPV is unclear, what is true about HPV in general is that it is a virus that spreads by skin to skin contact (just like any kind of wart).  So in theory if you don't see any warts on the external genitalia there is no wart that can contact your skin to transmit the disease.  Know that these warts are not only on the vagina but in the vagina as well so just because you can't see it on the inside doesn't mean you can have sex without a condom.  \nIf the wart if on the outside of the vagina, on the perianal region or on the outskirts of the Labia Majora (outer labia or area of vagina) you may have skin to skin contact despite having a condom on. Remember this is skin to skin contact.  \nSome variants of HPV only present on women some only on the cervix (types 16,18,33) these are associated with cervical cancer.  \nIf you are a woman with HPV you need routine pap smears.  \nGood News for women is that there is a vaccine soon on the market that will eliminate cervical Cancer from HPV. See link below for details.\nMy opinion is, iIf your partner has an outbreak he or she should have it treated.  If it is in remission, you can precede but at your own risk and with extreme caution.  Remember that the alternatives to intercourse aren't that bad if they can get the job done.\nI suggest consulting with your physician for accurate medical information.

I don't know about the staph infection, but please know that just because you have HPV does not mean you will get cervical cancer.  In fact, it's estimated that by the age of 50, 75-80% of sexually active adults will have had some form of genital HPV...it's just that most of them never know they have it because a) it never manifests itself in "visible" symptoms, like warts or cervical dysplasia, and b) their immune systems suppress it before any changes occur. As the commercial says, most women will fight this off on their own.  Keep your immune system healthy by eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those that are high in Vitamins A, C, and folic acid.  Get enough sleep every night and exercise regularly.   You can still have sex, but use a condom until you are with a committed life partner, not only to prevent your partner from getting it, but to protect you from getting another strain, as there are many out there.  Make sure you get a Pap smear yearly so that the doctor can check to make sure there have been no abnormal cell changes.  And please, don't try to beat yourself up emotionally over this.  This is an extremely common virus (almost as common as the common cold!).  Take care of yourself.

you are right about inner ear infection, that is random. so is an eye infection, most pink/red eyes are viral too, but let your doctor see it at least, likely just a coincidence, good luck

human papilloma virus\n\nThere are two different kinds, one causes genital warts like herpes, the other is the major cause of cervical cancer.  Pester your doctor into telling you which kind you have.  Make her do a test of the cells on the inside of your cervix, it's like an advanced pap smear; I think it was called colposcopy when I had it done.    Keep in mind before you get all panicky that OVER 85% of females who have had any sort of sexual contact at all are carrying this virus.  You can carry the virus and have nothing ever happen from it.  You are not alone.  Go do a google search and you will see what I mean.

Yes, it's absolutely possible and there are several causes.  One main group of causes could be overaction of your lacrimal (tear) glands.  Another could be that your tears aren't draining properly (maybe due to obstruction in your tear ducts).  If this has become a problem for you, you really should see an eye doctor to find out what the cause of it is and what can be done about it.

HPV stands for Human Papilloma Virus. This is a very common sexually transmitted virus. An estimated 75 percent of the reproductive-age population has been infected with sexually transmitted HPV. A small fraction of men and women with HPV will develop genital warts. Another small fraction of women with HPV will develop cervical changes. Most people will have no changes.  \n\nHow is it transmitted?\nHPV is transmitted sexually through intimate genital to genital contact, including vaginal or @nal intercourse or only rarely through oral sex. Transmission can also occur during genital skin to genital skin contact without sexual intercourse. \n\nDoes use of condoms reduce the risk of HPV transmission?\nUsing condoms or latex barriers may provide some protection but may not cover all infected areas.  \n\nIs there a cure for HPV?\nSince HPV is a virus, there is no cure. However, new studies indicate that approximately 70-90% of people with HPV may clear the virus from the body within two years of infection. Re-infection is possible.  \nhttp://www.indiana.edu/~health/hpv.html\n\nHPV is a member of a group of viruses known as the genus Papillomavirus that can infect humans and cause changes in cells leading to abnormal tissue growth. Infection with certain types of HPV can increase the risk of developing some types of cancer. Certain strains of HPV can be sexually transmitted.\n\n\nMore than 100 strains of HPV have been identified. Most are harmless. Some can produce common skin warts on the hands and feet. About 30 strains are spread through sexual contact; some can cause visible genital warts, while others can cause cervical cancer and other genital cancers.\n\nHPV is by far the most common sexually transmitted infection. It is estimated that 80% of sexually active adults have been infected with one or more genital HPV strains at some time. The vast majority of infected people suffer no ill effects and never even know that they have been infected, but may be able to infect others.\n\nA highly promising vaccine for HPV is currently in late stage trials, but will not be widely available until around 2010, and is likely to only benefit young men and women who have not yet engaged in sexual activity. For women who are already sexual active, health authorities recommend an annual pap smear to detect any early signs of cervical cancer.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus

This can be caused by a narrow tear duct.  It also can make you more prone to infections.  It is a congenative thing, so there really isn't any medicine or anything to treat it, but depending on your case, there may be a surgical treatment.

no but the virus that causes genital warts can cause cancer in some woman , I would get a pap often if I were you

It is very possible, and almost guaranteed that your partner has it also. This virus is highly contagious and there isn't much you can do to protect yourself, even if you use condoms.  Most people with hpv will never know they are infected with the virus.  You can't get new strains, but your hpv can resurface at any time in your life.  If your partner also has hpv he may have trigured the virus and that could be the cause of your recent outbreak.  Other things can cause outbreaks like malnutrition, stress, etc. And remember that paps can always come out normal but this means nothing when it comes to hpv unfortunately.

i think yea, i have seen commericals about HPV Human Pampollina Virus( u get the idea however that is spelt)being linked to certain (cervical) cancers but if ur talking about colds or flus i doubt it

Tears come from tear ducts, not directly from your eyes. Your sight is a direct result of your eyes. The two are independent of each other.

YES IT CAN!  I have HPV and due to the HPV I have already had to have precancerous cells removed.  I suggest going to webmd and giving it a good read.  I learned a lot about HPV.  There are certain strands of it (yes there are MANY different kinds) that are known for causing cervical and uterine cancer.

HPV is the Human papillomavirus. \n\nSo many women are infected with it because of men giving it to them. There is no test for men and HPV doesn't really have any signs or symptoms. That's why men pass it to women usually unaware that they even have it. The only way women even find out is usually by having an abnormal pap smear come back or by developing genital warts. \n\nThere are at least 100 different kinds of HPV and most don't do anything. Some kinds though develop into genital warts, cervical cancer, hand and feet warts, penile cancer and rectal cancer. The most common however are genital warts and cervical cancer. Cervical cancer kills 300,000 women a year! That is why they are so concerned with women having HPV. I have had both genital warts and cervical cancer and have been treated for both.\n\nHope that answered your question!

YES. An infected person's tear film, like other body fluids, DOES contain the virus.
