The Best Treatments For Vaginal Warts
support] when you quickly find yourself with an outbreak. What should your next step be and just how can you treat vaginal warts?
This condition is painless but is bothersome due to where they are placed, their size or because of the itching, burning and tenderness. Women may also experience severe vaginal discharge. Warts usually appear in the moist regions in the labia minora which are the smaller inner pair of lips of the female genitals, and the opening of the vagina.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is reponsible vaginal warts. This virus comes in hundreds of different forms though only two are responsible for vaginal warts. When any infected skin area comes into contact with you the virus spreads quickly and there is every chance you will have the virus. Just having the virus doen’t necessarily mean you will get genital warts. some people are lucky enough never to show any physical symptoms. Even if you think you might have them it is still wise to get checked out.
Treatment is quite straight forward but can be a drawn out process that requires repeated and tedious actions. It must be noted that the HPV itself cannot be cured because as yet there is no known cure for viruses. You can only remove the warts and even this is no guarantee that they won’t come back after a time as the virus is still active inside the body. If the warts are not too large or widespread, then your doctor will probably recommend a medicated cream (such as Imiquimod or Podophyllotoxin) which will either destroy the abnormal wart cells or will boost the body’s immune system so it can deal with the warts. If, however, your warts have become very large and widespread then surgical action may be required.
You generally have three options open to you. Freeze the warts off using cryosurgery. With this method you may have to keep going back to get the dead skin removed, you can burn the warts off using electrocautery, or use a natural alternative there are many great ones on the market.
Laser surgery will remove the warts immediately but it will take about two to four weeks to heal completely. There is also the slight possibility that another outbreak will occur immediately due to the fact it ‘impacts’ the immune system and triggers dormant viruses in the same area.
We now know the HPV virus may be difficult to get rid off. So unfortunately prevention is the best way. you know what I mean by that. Please use appropriate proptection and practice safe sex.
