When you have sex, there are many things to worry about.
There is pregnancy and then there are STD's. One of the most common of these
STD's is genital warts. However, what are genital warts? Genital warts are caused
by direct contact by the skin of an infected person. The warts are actually
caused by a strain of Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV. Genital warts are not only
unattractive but they can lead to cancer if not treated. The best thing to do,
however, is practice prevention so that you do not get genital warts in the first
place. Always use a condom during sex and try to limit your sexual partners.
These prevention techniques can protect against warts along with a couple of
other STD's. There is no cure for genital warts, but occasionally they will flee
on their own. You can have them treated, however, for aesthetic reasons and for
consolation.
What Does Genital Warts Look
Like
 Genital warts are very unattractive. They are marked by white,
cauliflower looking bumps on or around the vagina or penis. They can also be
found around the anus in some individuals. These bumps are not only
unsightly, but they can also cause great mental trauma in those that have
them. That is because they fear about other sexual partners looking for
about them. Unlike other sexually transmitted diseases that are otherwise
invisible, warts are hard to hide. There is hope, however, because they may
be treated. Doctors have had success freezing them off with liquid nitrogen.
This can lead to scarring but it can put off the genital warts that are
causing so much anxiety to the sufferer.
Genital Warts Treatments
There are creams and other treatments that have shown
promise in getting rid of genital warts. These creams are prescribed by your
doctor and should never be used unless approved. Most are prescription strength,
so ask your doctor if they have heard of them. If you are too embarrassed to see
a physician about genital warts, do it for yourself and for any future sexual
partners. In the end, you do not want to spread them to other people if you can
help it. So ensure you seek out treatment, as there are several treatment options
available.
There is no cure for genital warts or HPV, but occasionally
someone's immune system will eradicate them on its own. The best thing to do if
you have genital warts is to see your doctor. You should do this not only for
your own consolation, but also for the health of any of your future sexual
partners. Having this STD is not the end of the world, though it can seem that
way to anyone who suffers from him or her. Just know that you are not alone as
warts and HPV are the most common STD around today. Knowing that can make
addressing them little easier.
