the facts about genital warts Genital Warts - HPV Facts Genital warts are very infectious and accounts for the reason of their continued prevalence but they also need to be treated early before they grow large. The human papilloma virus is the primary name for the various strains, also abbreviated to HPV; people are infected by sexual intercourse, oral or otherwise. Many carriers (especially women) are unaware they carry the genital warts virus and can pass it on without knowing even if their partner is wearing a condom; which makes prevention difficult. Just to compound the problem, there is no reason why once infected a person is infected, they do not have to show signs straight away and the virus may not activate for months, even longer. Once a person is infected, they too become a carrier, unwittingly promoting the virus. While there are many hundreds of strains of this virus, only one causes ano-genital warts: the HPV6 strain. Unfortunately women can be unwilling and unknowing carriers of warts as they are often hidden in the vagina and probably won't be discovered until she has visited her doctor for a routine examination of her cervix. The problem is made worse by the environment that genital warts use to multiply, damp and moist areas; and this is exactly what they find in and around a woman's genitals, plus some discharge may be present. Generally, the favored method of wart removal is with the use of extremely cold liquid nitrogen which is applied to the skin over the course of a few treatments after which it will die. Using liquid nitrogen is a painless process but cannot be used on certain areas of the body which is why it is for the doctor or dermatologist to decide. Two other methods which require professional medical attention is the use of electro-cautery or the emerging laser wart removal process. Each treatment is dependent on where the infected area is but removal is no guarantee they will not return at some pint in the future. Another topical treatment for genital warts is imiquimod, and while it has been formulated to help the immune system fight the infection, the liquid does not kill the virus directly nor can it stop others from forming. While imiquimod is generally effective there are times when it is unsafe so a consultation with the doctor is advisable especially when a woman is expecting a baby; it also can't be used on the genitals or inside the vagina nor on inflamed skin. This is a strong substance that has side-effects like many medications so someone using imiquimod needs to look out for coughs, blistering, aches all over and an itching in the genital region; a doctor would be able to elaborate on this. As with any information based on a medical problem, full information and options on genital warts should ideally be sought from a physician as this article is for general background only.
