Monday, February 15th, 2010

For genital warts, it is also best to seek the help and guidance of a professional.

With that is mind, there are a number of natural treatment options for warts and genital warts that you may want to explore. They encompass nutritional supplementation, herbal remedies, homeopathy, and other alternative medical interventions.

Genital Warts Cure – A Doctor Explains All

Saturday, February 13th, 2010
Like many viral infections, human papillomavirus (HPV) is a permanent infection. A person with human papillomavirus (HPV) may be highly infectious at times, especially when genital warts are oozing, broken or bleeding. At other times, the human papillomavirus (HPV) may enter a dormant or latent phase in which the risk of transmission to other people is nearly zero. Despite this ebb and flow of the disease, genital warts are considered a lifelong, chronic infection, once they occur.
The main reason that human papillomavirus (HPV) is so difficult to rid from the body, is that it collects in various “reservoirs” within the body. Traces of human papillomavirus DNA has been found in the prostate,1 vas deferens (the tubes through which semen moves away from the testicles),2 nearly invisible lesions on the penis,3 vulva,4 and even pubic hair follicles and follicles of hair around the anus.5 Therefore it is essentially impossible to eradicate the virus once it takes hold.

Genital Warts in Men – What Guys Should Know About an HPV Infection

Unfortunately many men do not appreciate the risks associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). This is mostly due to the fact that the appearance of visible genital warts is less common among men than it is in women. Also, the vaccine that has recently become available to immunize against various types of HPV is only approved for women. This also seems to suggest to men that HPV is a “woman problem.”

Finally, since the primary concern with human papillomavirus is cervical cancer and men are born without that anatomical structure, they feel an unwarranted sense of protection.


In truth, there are many reasons why men should be concerned with human papillomavirus (HPV). If for no other reason, human papillomavirus causes genital warts in women and men. While the rates of infection may be higher in women, HPV infection and genital warts are still the most common sexually transmitted disease.
Another reason for concern is that men may be infecting their sexual partners even though they have no apparent symptoms.
