ADVERTISEMENTS
Warts, and vaginal genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). It causes infections in the mucus membranes and skin of your body, and when this happens, a wart is born. HPV can cause many different types of warts, and one of the most embarassing for women is the vaginal genital wart.
In this article I’ll go through the basic information about what this type of wart is, how it is spread, diagnosed and treated. Not a fun subject to read about, but if you have one, you’ll want to keep reading.
What is a Vaginal Genital Wart?
A wart is an HPV infection. These kind of warts can often be uncomfortable, and are usually flesh colored look, but they can also be brown, or redish. Vaginal genital warts can be almost any size, small or very large depending on the type of HPV that formed the wart.
These kind of warts often form in clusters close together, and rarely occur alone. If you were to leave a genital wart, it could disappear, but it could also develop a flaky looking appearance. That’s why I recommend you seek medical help if you’re unsure of what to do.
How Are Warts Spread?
Warts of any kind are spread through contact. While most types of warts are spread through hand contact, vaginal warts are normally spread through sexual intercourse. Oral, anal and regular vaginal sex are all outlets for spreading warts.
It is believed that about 75% of people who have sexual contact with someone who has genital warts will develop them within 3 months. A condom does not help, because your skin will come in contact with the other person with or without a condom.
Diagnosing Warts
When it comes to getting your diagnosis, a doctor will generally perform a pap smear in an effort to see if there are any warts on your cervix.
Why’s this you might wonder? It is because of the fact that genital warts can sometimes be cancerous. The doctor will then be able to tell you whether your warts are harmless or require additional treatment.
Treatment
There are many different treatments available. A doctor will be able to help guide you when he identifies what kind of wart you’re dealing with. For instance, there is a certain medication given for different kinds of vaginal warts. Cancerous ones must be removed surgically, and others will simply disappear on their own.
I’ve never had genital warts, but I can only imagine that they must be embarassing to have. Vaginal warts affects millions of women each day, so you’re not alone.
There are many homeopathic solutions to genital warts as well, many have reported good success by using them.
If you are currently suffering from warts, it is probably best to contact a doctor and have them checked out, that way you’ll be able to know for sure that nothing serious is going on.
