Treatment\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20 percent podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5 percent podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \npulsed dye laser \nliquid nitrogen cryosurgery \nIf you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are expecting.\n\nIf you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.\n\nSome doctors use the antiviral drug Alpha Interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.\n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year.[1] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response. An effective HPV vaccine is currently undergoing a phase III FDA trial and appears nearly 100% effective against the most common types.

Poor you...I know I had to be tested regulalry and mine cleared up. If it doesnt you do need laser surgery to prevent it becoming cancerous. the cure rate is good because cancer hasnt occurred from it yet...if its still just HPV or dysplasia.\n\nGood luck with the healing and take your meds regulalry to dull any pain. Talk to your Dr if you are still worried but you really shouldnt be..because you are being treated and not left with the condition. Its a common condition...so dont feel you are alone.

The pap smear and breast exam is what a yearly pap consists of. However, they usually will do a claymidia test and a HPV test if the pap comes out with any abnormalties. If I was you-I would get the HPV vaccine as soon as possible because it will save you from alot of stress. The vaccine will not protect you from all the different strains of HPV becasue there are hundreds but it will protect you from 16 and 18 which are the ones that can cause cervical cancer(they usually dont-but they can) The pap is worth it so you will know everythign is healthy and it isnt that bad.

The HPV that causes warts on your hands and feet is different from the HPV that causes genital warts. So, no, you won't give a girl genital warts. Unless, of course, you're infected with genital HPV. The problem is that there are no real symptoms in men, other than the actual genital warts. There are some strains of HPV that don't show any outward symptoms.\n\nAs far as condom use goes, condoms are great for preventing HIV and pregnancy, but they don't necessarily work for preventing HPV. Your best bet is to practice abstinence, but if you must have sex, use a condom. In fact, the CDC is recommending that you change condoms in between sexual acts - so maybe one condom for oral sex, then a new one for vaginal sex. Good luck to you.

Actually yes, a recent study has shown that the risk of catching HPV from a high risk partner was somewhere near a decreased risk of 10 percent (with a male condom), so yes you can get it using a condom

Fenugreek, st. johns wart and Saw Palmetto paste works great, you can actually feel it work after about 2 weeks, although you will feel some slight twinge discomfort in the beginning, but it is the ligaments growing, for some reason they say it does the same effect of puberty on enlarging and growing.  Mix the powders together with olive oil and massage into your breasts...good luck and remember "too good to be true results...usually are!" but you will see a possible 1/2 cup to 1 cup size in fullness.

Hi. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer when I was 25. I do remember the ob-gyn handing me a check-list of questions (about a dozen, i think) regarding behaviour/contributing factors that may be linked to the development of this type of cancer. Certainly 'multiple sexual partners' was on this list, but i don't recall a question about my partners sexual habits. I was told that multiple partners could increase the risk of being exposed to the pap virus, which is certainly a factor in developing this type of cancer. I'm not aware of any other viruses linked to cervical cancer. Perhaps you could ask your ob-gyn specifically why he asked and what he may be looking for? If your ob-gyn has a theory, you have a right to be kept informed. By the way, mine was 22 years ago.

There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-caMost women are diagnosed with HPV on the basis of abnormal Pap tests. A Pap test is the primary cancer-screening tool for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, many of which are related to HPV. Also, a specific test is available to detect HPV DNA in women. The test may be used in women with mild Pap test abnormalities, or in women >30 years of age at the time of Pap testing. The results of HPV DNA testing can help health care providers decide if further tests or treatment are necessary.\n\nNo HPV tests are available for men.\n\nncerous changes in the cervix

PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME. HPV nowadays is unavoidable because it can be passed even with use of a condom. There isn't even a test for males. If you go to the gyno regularly (at least 2xs) a year, and use condoms, then I really wouldn't worry. HPV can and will develop into cervical cancer for women who leave their bodies untreated for too long. Most cases of HPV go away on their own. The cells can be removed, if they don't go away, but thats not too much fun. Biopsies are invasive.  Make sure that when you get your pap done that you demand with your pap an HPV test. All too often doctors are giving the old test that does not always pick up the HPV cells. FYI the strain of HPV that causes  genital warts is not the kinds that leads to cervical cancer.

I started taking it recently and I've gotta say that John indeed deserves his sainthood for discovering the beneficial properties of this herb.  I noticed a difference the first day, enough so that I kept on taking it...and I'm not one to take medicine either.\n\nI've noticed zero side effects, only positive attributes associated with it, my only regret being that I waited this long to try it. I certainly won't stop taking it in the near future either as this is the best I've felt in some years.  Good luck and I hope it works for you as well.

Your completely right, the vaccine should be given to females BEFORE they are sexaully active. The recommended ages are 9-26 at this time. The clinical studies for "Gardasil" were on females ages 16-23 and appear to be effective for up to 5 years at this time. Any longer than that, time will tell. I applaud this vaccine! Also, the vaccine doesn't protect against all strains, just certain ones.\n\nHere is some great info on the vaccine, side effects etc.\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/STDFact-HPV-vaccine.htm\nhttp://www.ashastd.org/hpv/hpv_overview.cfm

Always check with your Doctor first, but I highly recommend Himilayan Goji Juice. It is the only functional juice on the market with medical validation. There are 34 scientifically proven benefits as well as 72 clinical studies published at Pubmed.org under the heading Lycium Barbarum.  It is an adaptogen effective on auto-immune disorders.\nLook into it....

There are only a couple strains of HPV that cause warts - there are another couple that cause cervical cancer - hence the recomendation for a yearly PAP test. There are about 15 more strains that do not progress to cancer but do show as an unusual PAP result. It gets spread by the men - who have no idea they have it. It is a virus on the skin so condoms don't protect. So us women go around thinking this is some gross thing that only we have. Just as many men do - figuring about 85% of the population - they just don't get symptoms. So just who do you think you will be protecting by telling your partner you have HPV. He probably does too - but has no way of knowing. So get over the guilt. Unless this is a cancer causing strain - and only a small percentage of those ever turn to cancer - there is no need to tell, because there is no way to work around it, except to support your own health with good nutrition, rest and stress reduction. It isn't like herpes where you avoid contact during flare ups. HPV is there all the time but will cause changes in the cells when your own immunity is down.   As for the skin changes - that is a totally unrelated. Good luck kid - and keep researching beyond the limited feedback your doctor has given you.

there may be a clue on the xango website...\n\n\n\n*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.\n\n\n\nthats a no then :)\n\nthe science isn't barmy but we don't know yet how much these substances can help and if they do have no idea how much or which might be helpful......   If you like the taste fine but in general you are better of sticking to a balanced diet with a wide range of fresh fruit and veg! :)

I have found that good old Noxema, in the blue tub has amazing anesthesia effects.  Have used it on HSV outbreaks as well as the old 'roids, with very satisfactory results.  Was given that hint by another customer in a store.
