A Closer Look on Genital Warts

Posted: Jul 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Genital wart, also known as venereal wart, is a sensitive topic to come across especially to those who are afflicted with it. It has triggered a response globally especially on its prevention as it is one of the well-known sexually transmitted diseases, and one that spreads like wildfire. The primary culprit of genital warts is the human papilloma virus (HPV). Generally, it can be acquired through unhealthy sex practices and improper hand hygiene after fondling or oral contact with the affected organ (lips, vulva, penis). The occurrence of genital warts increase when an afflicted person having multiple partners without knowing that he or she's already affected. An infected mother can also pass it to her newborn through vaginal passage, which explains why a newborn is immediately given terramycin eye ointment on both eyes as prophylaxis to ensure this won't cause them adverse effects such as blindness.

The most recognizable symptom of genital warts is the presence of pinkish-gray cauliflower shaped growths on the affected person's sex organ that is accompanied with increased secretions, burning sensation, and discomfort or bleeding during and after intercourse and urination. If left untreated in newborns, it can cause the same skin damage and even worse, blindness may occur. As a knowledgeable citizen, you should be aware of these symptoms and be observant of this on your partner.

There is a way to reduce the appearances of the warts. Cryotherapy or freezing proves to be one effective genital warts treatment. Although the element to be used for freezing (commonly nitrogen) is available commercially, you should let a physician do the job. After several sessions, the warts will be reduced and eventually fall off. Another method of genital warts treatment is through homeopathic therapy. Defined, this is similar to active immunization wherein a small percent of the elements causing the same disease are introduced to the system to counteract the already-present virus, thus decreasing its symptoms. Wartrol and Heal Warts are good examples of homeopathic treatments which can be applied topically.

Those treatments may seem to give you hope but still, there is no way to cure the human papillomavirus once it has found its way into your system. Prevention is always better than cure, the popular saying goes, but is always neglected. Immunization, proper hygiene and safe sex practice are always the best ways to avoid this dreadful disease altogether.
