Having genital warts overseas...?

If it's just one, it's probably not genital warts. They tend to come in clusters and will spread around your penis. The solution is to have then burned off with liquid nitrogen. This can take several treatments, and if they aren't all removed they may re-occur.\n\nOther symptoms that are sometimes confused as genital warts are molluscum contagiosum (another sexually transmittable disease) and fordyce spots (not a disease at all.)\n\nThe best thing to do is see a doctor ASAP. Only a doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis. If the private hospital is your only option, then go there. But it's better to know the truth, and if treatment is neccesary to start early.\n\nDon't gamble with the crown jewels. Good luck!

Yes, the condition called genital warts really is an STD. The official name is HPV or Human Papilloma Virus. Transmission of the virus can occur even when sexual activity is not taking place. That means that if you had skin-to-skin contact with someone who has HPV, you can still get this disease, even though you are a virgin. \n\n\nYou should take a look at these websites. Women are more vulnerable to it than men, and HPV is a known potential cause of cervical cancer. \n\nGreat percentage of likelihood of preventing or "catching" this cancer if diagnosed in early stages. So if you are female and have it or are male and know that you may have passed it on to a female partner, please read the websites about what you can do - for yourself and for them. :)

What are Condyloma? \nCondylomata acuminata or genital warts are fleshy growths which appear in the genital area. They are caused by HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (HPV) and are usually spread by sexual contact. \n\nSymptoms and Diagnosis. \nGenital warts first appear as small pink or red bumps on the vulva (lips of the vagina), vagina, cervix, penis shaft, urinary opening or rectum. They are usually painless, but some people may have itching, burning or slight bleeding from these areas. \n\nThe time between exposure to the virus and the appearance of warts is not known. It could be anywhere from several weeks to several years before symptoms occur. Because of this, it is had to tell when and where you were exposed to the virus. \n\nSometimes vaginal infections and pregnancy can cause warts to grow and spread. One study showed that 20% of women with genital warts also had a vaginal infection. Unless that infection is treated, the warts may not go away. Warts may spread up inside the vagina and on the cervix. They may also cause abnormal Pap smears. During pregnancy warts may be treated so they do not spread or grow larger. In men, warts may spread inside the penis causing problems when they urinate. \n\nThe diagnosis of condylomata acuminata is usually made by a health care provider simply inspecting the genital area. Occasionally, they may want to remove a wart and send it to the lab for further tests. Because genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease other tests may be done for other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis. \n\nTreatment.\nGenital warts are frustrating for you to have and frustrating for doctors to treat. Some warts will disappear on their own. Others may come and go despite vigorous treatment. One of the most important things you can do is to KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS! The treatment is easier when the warts are small and few in number. There is no one magic treatment for genital warts. Many methods may be tried depending on where, how large and how long the warts have been there. \n\nCertain chemicals may be applied to smaller warts on moist areas. The most common chemical used is called TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA). TCA is a clear, watery liquid that is painted on the warts. It causes a burning sensation as it dries. The warts will turn a whitish color, shrink and disappear. It will take weekly treatments for a number of weeks to get rid of the warts. \n\nAnother chemical, PODOPHYLLIN, is a brown liquid that may also be used. It also causes a burning sensation as it dries. It must be washed off with soap and water 4 to 6 hours after it has been applied. In certain circumstances, a preparation of this medication may be applied by the patient at home. \n\nIf TCA and PODOPHYLLIN do not work, the doctor may try freezing the wart with a treatment called CRYOTHERAPY, treating the affected area with topical 5FU CREAM, or performing laser surgery. Occasionally, INTERFERON injections are used if all other methods of treatment have failed. \n\nNone of the treatments mentioned here are a guarantee that the warts will never come back. Once the wart virus (HPV) is in the skin, genital warts may occur again and again. This may require numerous visits to the doctor and many months of treatment. We know this can be very discouraging, but remember -- warts are easier to treat when they are small and few in number. KEEP THOSE APPOINTMENTS! \n\nIf the condyloma do not respond to treatment, your doctor may refer you to the Colposcopy Clinic. There your vulva or cervix will be examined through a special scope that magnifies the area. Tissue samples (biopsies) may be taken for further study. The doctors can then recommend further treatment options. \n\nPrevention\nThere are two ways to prevent getting warts: \n\nUse condoms during sex. Protect yourself. \nCelibacy - not having sex. \nIf you have warts: \n\nAvoid sexual contact during treatment. \nIf your warts are recurrent or you have a

You cannot cure genital warts.  If you have them, you will always carry the virus.  This does not mean you will always have warts though - you simply have the virus in your blood.\n\nThere are tons of products on the internet that claim to cure everything.  The reason is because some people believe everything they see - and some people are very desperate for a cure - and others take advantage of that by selling things that do not work.\n\nYou can get tested free of charge at many Planned Parenthoods, or at Family Planning or STD clinics through your local or state department of health.  It's confidential and no one will ever find out - not even your parents.

everyone is right...genital warts are caused by HPV, which isn't curable.  however, go to a doctor and i'm sure they can provide some sort of treatment plan to help with outbreaks and intensity.

Genital warts are very contagious and are spread during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or (rarely) oral sex with someone who is infected. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in your mouth or throat if you have oral sex with an infected person.

Genital Warts is believed [ maybe ] to be from sex\n\nMiraculous cures of cutaneous warts are as commonplace as they are curious. Ask about them in any group of people, and you will easily collect typical stories.\nThe methods used to get rid of the range from the straightforward to the outright peculiar,with no consistency.\n\nCutaneous warts are not functional problems. They are real discrete, physical organic growths, made up of abnormal tissue infected with viruses.\nNevertheless, they are susceptible to virtually instant healing brought about by belief in treatment that cannot have significant effects on the viruses or the abnormal tissue.

NO, not at all. Genital warts is caused by the Human Pappiloma Virus. Some people carry this virus and never develop warts, because there are so many strains of it. However, some strains cause cervical cancer in women. Herpes causes sores that can be painful. There are daily treatments for herpes, but I'm not sure if there are for the warts. But there is no cure for either, so that may be why people get them confused.

Genital warts are an epidermal manifestation attributed to the epidermotropic human papillomavirus (HPV).\nPainless bumps, pruritus (Itching), and discharge are the chief complaints encountered with genital warts.\nGenerally, two thirds of individuals who have sexual contact with a partner who has genital warts develop lesions within 3 months.\nA history involving multiple lesions, rather than a single isolated wart, is more common.\nInvolvement of more than 1 area is more common.\nHistory may indicate previous or other current STDs.\nOral, laryngeal, or tracheal mucosal lesions (uncommon) presumably transfer through oral-genital contact.\nHistory of anal intercourse warrants a thorough search for perianal lesions.\nLesions may regress spontaneously, remain static, or progress.\nTreatment:They are all Prescribed Medication!!!!\nThen go and see your Doctor!\nTake care

It is definitely possible that he gave it to you. Also, you don't have an outbreak of HPV, you have outbreaks of the herpes virus. You can get genital warts from HPV but it is not considered an outbreak. People can have HPV for years and never show any signs or symptoms. I have had HPV for about 5 years now. After a year of having it I developed cervical cancer and about 6 months ago I got genital warts. So it can take months, if not years to develop any symptoms. HPV is a virus, it will stay with you the rest of your life. The only thing you can do is treat the symptoms, but you will always have the virus.\n\nMen usually show no symptoms of having the STD and spread it very easily to women. There is no test currently for men to detect the virus, usually men find out they have it is by developing genital warts, hand or feet warts. So for him to try and sue you for it is not going to work. There is no way for him to prove you gave it to him or a women from a previous relationship he was in.

Once you get the Genital Warts, they are always with you. You may not have out breaks, but its always there inside your blood, just waiting. Your Dr. can give you an at home cream to use to get rid of the ones on the out side. But not on the inside. The cream that you use is very powerful, and using to much can cause redness, bleeding and pain. Use only as your dr. tells you to.... The ones on the inside have to be frozzen off, or lazered. After the warts are gone, you will always have to watch to make sure that they dont come back a again. Just because you are not having an out break, that doesnt mean you cant still spread it. Cause you CAN! Talk to your Dr.

Genital warts is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).  They are permanent and there is no cure.  Your physician may be able to cut or burn them off, but the virus remains in your body forever, which means more growths down there.  And it IS STILL POSSIBLE to spread the virus to others even if you have your current warts removed!!

No, this is an old wives tale.  Genital warts arnt caused by normal warts, they are caused by the Human papillomavirus, or HPV.  Genital warts are can only be spread from sex with someone containing genital warts, therefore infecting you as well.

Genital warts are caused by a virus. The virus stays in your body forever. However, you need to go and get the wart frozen off at the doctor's office or the local county health department (a lot cheaper). Once they are frozen off, they usually do not reappear although they can. There is nothing you can do without seeing a doctor except continue to spread it around to others and let the virus cause more potential harm to your body.

there are two types of warts, both of them are viral. they coould appear on any area.  warts spread thru contact with infected human secretions or body fluids.  that is why warts can be acquired thru sexual activities, hence the "genital warts".  don't you ever cauterize or pluck that wart for the infected blood will smear on your skin and will spread the infection wider.  \n\nOk, i'm giving this to you for free, no consultation charge.  :-) \n\nALDARA---(imiquimod) topical cream.  product by 3M. you can buy these over the counter.\n\nJOMAR S.T.
