Author: steve
There are a lot of people that have had to deal with genital warts. For most of those people, the warts are only a bother. They are usually treated with some medicine and then forgotten about. It depends on the seriousness of the problem and it is not something that anyone wants to brag about.
If women have genital warts on the cervix, they can be a problem, it can cause women to have an abnormal pap smear. If this is left unattended, it may cause even more problems down the road like cancer. Women should have a pelvic exam at least every six months to a year. Men and women who have warts on or inside the anus should have an exam every year.
Treating genital warts is not hard. You will get good advice and help from many of the doctors and professionals that you see. They can use a chemical on the warts to remove them. You may need to come back more than once to finish the treatment to take care of the problem. If someone has a problem with their immune system, they may find that the treatment may take longer. An example of this may be HIV. The warts may increase in size and the number of them may increase faster. This is why you need to tell your doctor if you are HIV positive.

If you have a history of HPV infections, and not necessarily only the strains which produces genital warts, there’s a chance that you might be more susceptible to develop genital warts. Also if you’ve had genital warts before, it can recur. You might have removed them the first time around, but there’s a chance that you might have to do so again.
If you have other sexually transmitted diseases like Herpes, there’s a good chance that you can go on to contract genital HPV as well. And if your immune system is flagging from its fight with these other STD’s then there’s an equally good chance that you will go on to develop to genital warts as well.
Studies have shown that when there is a steady consumption of alcohol the risk of developing genital warts is enhanced. For instance if you have a weekly alcoholic amount in excess of 2-5 drinks, you have already more than doubled your chances of developing genital warts. It has also been shown that smokers are also more likely to develop genital warts than people who don’t smoke. Carcinogens seem to target areas like your cervix if you tend to smoke, leading to a possibility of cervical dsyplasia (abnormal cell changes) occurring, which in turn can lead to cancer.
The Relationship Between Genital Warts Ang Hygiene

In a few rare cases, genital warts have been known to affect people who share towels or even clothing with a person who is infected. This is why if you or someone else has genital warts, you should keep towels and the like separate until the infection is cured. All of these items should also be washed separately after the person has been cured of their genital warts. And even otherwise it’s a good idea to keep things like towels and clothes, especially undergarments, separate. This prevents the passing of infections and germs between people to a bare minimum.
Since genital warts are highly contagious, things like tanning beds and items used by other people might also harbor the infection. If they are improperly cleaned or maintained, there is a chance that you can get the HPV genital warts infection from these. Again, it’s something along the lines of using the towel of someone who has genital warts. The risks are the same. So if you’re not sure whether or not the tanning bed you’re using is clean I would suggest that you avoid it for the moment.
It’s not only tanning beds that can cause you to get genital warts, it’s also things like sex toys, medical equipment which haven’t been cleaned properly, diaphragms and cervical caps which haven’t been cleaned, etc.
