In the normal course of events I have to say that genital warts would not be my topic of choice for any particular conversation. Having said that, since I’m not actually going to see anyone’s face as I talk about it, I feel that I can rest easy in the knowledge that my blushes will be spared! The problem with the topic of genital warts though is that it is most definitely not something that you would want to air in public – literally and figuratively! In fact a great many people probably don’t feel that comfortable talking it over even with their doctor.
That’s right, even in today’s liberated society most people still won’t feel comfortable talking about such an intimate and distressing problem as genital warts.
After all, just think about it. From our very young days we’re taught to cover ourselves up and to keep our private parts covered. At least that’s what my mother always used to tell me, and since it’s a fact that most mothers tend to think along the same lines, there’s a more than good chance that your mother – or father – taught you the same thing.
So when you couple that with the fact that even the mere mention of the word “genital warts”, is enough for you to make a face at, it’s no wonder that we don’t talk about such things, be they genital warts on the genital area or otherwise. And I don't know about you but when I hear the word genital warts mentioned, the first thing that comes to my mind is all those stories of witches you hear about when you’re young and how they all – down to (almost) the last man, woman, and witch of them – had a big wart on their decidedly very long and crooked noses.
That said, genital warts aren’t something that’s laughable for the person who suffers from this problem. In fact for quite a number for people, genital warts can be a very distressing condition they have to deal with. And that’s really why I’ve written this article, to be able to help at least in some small way, the people who suffer from genital warts and who don’t have anyone whom they can talk to.
Obviously I can’t be on the listening end if you want to talk about it, but hopefully I can provide some answers that will help you. I should also perhaps mention right at the start that I am not a doctor, a herbalist, a naturopath, or any other type of medical practitioner. I have no license to practice to medicine and I don’t aspire to do so. There are various natural treatments that are available for you to get rid of genital warts.

HPV and genital warts
By: nikole | 02-05-2008
If I have HPV (but have never experienced symptoms other than an occasional abnormal PAP) and my boyfriend recently discovered he had genial warts (condyloma acuminata, the type caused by HPV) will having unprotected sex with him after he gets the warts removed cause a "ping-ponging" action of him getting warts again, or possibly ME getting them?

What is this itchy warty substance? please help?
By: jenny626 | 09-10-2007
hi i can not find any information the i need anywhere. I was diagonsed with genital warts three years ago and my warts resembled the tradiontal cauliflower look located at the vaginal entrance. after many times of going back and forth to the doctors over years i must say i finally was wart free. Now recently i have noticed myself to be ithcy in the groin area and have notcied almost invincible bumps, but because im so paranoid about geting warts and passing this on i am always keeping an eye on myself and any changes. They are skin coloured tiny little bumps maybe one to four or more spread around my labia not near my vagina entrance, there was one even in my pubic area. they do not resemble the warts i had previously but the itching is very similar. When i scratch these bumps a white hard structure comes out of them, small little oval white shaped cell like patterns combined into one which to me sort of resembles a wart like core. Its definatly a core and its not soft and pusy like a pimple it is like little white balls joined together tightly compacted and firm.... when i have scraped this out the wound bleeds imensley and i itch and im finding more are coming up. im so unsure what this is. the doc says no to std but why is my crutch so dam itchy and what is the hard white warty core stuff i cant find an answer anywhere. people may say molluscum how ever you spell that but what i have does not seem to look like any of these pictures of molluscum i have researched. and the substance does not smell and is not soft. Do genital warts even have a white core? And can they even be popped or scraped , torn off i more should say? i fear to have sex because i would never want someone to go through what i went though earlier if this is the STD back again. i just want answers and and itch bump free crotch! please help me. i want to know what this is its driving me crazy and seems unusual. Cheers please help me i jave done my best to descrobe this as best as i can.
