Do you have warts? Do you know what causes them? The fact is warts are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). Since warts are caused by a virus they are contagious. Once you have been infected with this virus it stays with you for as long as you live. Skin warts or papillomas can be transmitted between individuals by a filterable infectious agent. If the virus is not treated within time it can cause skin cancers and other health related problems.

There are many different types of warts. The most common warts are the rough looking lesions most often found on the hands and fingers. The much smaller, smoother flat warts can be found on the hands and fingers also, but may even show up on the face and eyes. Warts on the bottom of the feet are called plantar warts and can sometimes be over an inch around. Genital warts develop in the genital and anal area; these have become a growing problem.

Warts (papilloma viruses) replicate exclusively on the surface of bodily tissues such as skin, mucosal surfaces of the genitals and anus, mouth and airways. Genital warts are highly contagious and also 90% responsible for all cases of cervical cancers and other health problems. HPV also decreases sperm count, which is one of the causes of infertility.

Laryngeal papillomatosis also know as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a rare medical condition caused by (HPV) infection of the throat that can lead to tumors. This condition obstructs the airway and without treatment is potentially fatal.

HPV is definitely not something you should take lightly. These dangers are very serious. Therefore removing your warts should be your first priority if you want to stay healthy and enjoy life.

Are you facing humiliation because of visible warts? Are warts interfering with your sex life? Do you suffer from diminished self-confidence? Have you tried prescription drugs? If yes, did they help or are you having any nasty side effects?

Symptoms of genital warts – If spotted early enough and treated, can reduce the chances of developing cancer of the cervix.
Symptoms of genital warts can be many and varied and can even be mistaken for another disease. This is especially true hpv genital condition hasn’t manifested itself in the form of physical warts.
What Are The Symptoms of Genital Warts?
Like many other STDs, HPV infection often does not cause symptoms. One study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) reported that nearly half of all women with HPV had no noticeable symptoms. However, in many cases, small, hard spots (easily visible to the eye) can develop within three weeks to three months after exposure.
In women, these warts can occur on the lips of the vagina, inside the vagina or even around the anus. Anogenital warts may cause itching. Women also develop cervical warts, which are flat lesions unseen in their early stages.
Some other symptoms may include:
? Cauliflower-like appearing growths around the anus or genitals
? Increased dampness or moisture in the area of the growths
? Itching of the penis, scrotum, anal area, or a vulvar itch
? Increased vaginal discharge
? Abnormal vaginal bleeding (not associated with a menstrual period) after sexual intercourse
You may have all the symptoms of genital warts but still not have any physically on your genitals. One possible reason that symptoms of genital warts are mistaken for something else is that the warts can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
In these circumstances, your physician will take your symptoms into account and use a number of methods to determine whether you have genital warts. One of the most common is to dab a small amount of acetic acid (vinegar) on the suspected area infected with warts.
The symptoms of genital warts may also be missed if they occur within the vaginal walls. In this case, the symptoms could be of another disorder called yeast infection. That’s why it’s a good idea to seek immediate professional help when the signs of genital warts are detected.
Getting the most accurate diagnosis for the symptoms you are displaying is vital, the last thing you want is self diagnosing yourself, and the likelihood of you being wrong is high, and then treating yourself for a completely different condition. This can have further repercussions, in that using the wrong medication to treat a disorder can let your body become used that medication, rendering it useless when you will need it the most.
The flipside would be to ignore the symptoms of genital warts and leaving the condition untreated, leading to even more serious conditions such as cancer of the cervix. An even more worrying possibility is that if you have recurring genital warts symptoms, it could be a sign of cervical cancer or even HIV- AIDS.
Therefore the seriousness and the urgency of a proper checkup when you display any of these symptoms is paramount. You will then be able to receive the correct treatment needed to help you get rid of genital warts.
It must be noted that even though you may be able to cure genital warts with the right treatment ad fight off the symptoms, the underlying virus, the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) cannot be cured. You will have to rely on your immune system to help fight the HPV virus.
